Offload Task Skill

A Claude Code skill that offloads a single task to a separate Claude Code session in a cmux pane, keeping the main conversation context clean.

1. Clarify — Synthesizes a clear, self-contained prompt from the conversation context
2. Spawn — Creates a split pane in the current cmux workspace
3. Dispatch — Launches Claude Code in the new pane and sends the task
4. Return — Reports the surface ref and continues the main conversation

The worker runs autonomously — no monitoring or polling from the leader side. This is about context hygiene, not orchestration.

• Offload Task (this skill): One self-contained task you don't want in your main thread. Examples: "run the tests and fix whatever fails", "refactor that file", "write docs for the API module".
• Supreme Leader: Multiple interdependent tasks that need coordination, monitoring, and review across a team of workers.
• Agent tool: Quick subtask where you need the result back in the current conversation.

• Claude Code v2.1.71+
• cmux — native macOS terminal for running multiple AI agents in parallel

Clone into your Claude Code skills directory:

git clone https://github.com/ygrec-app/offload-task-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/offload-task

In any Claude Code session running inside cmux:

/offload-task

Or describe what you want naturally:

• "Offload this to another pane"
• "Do this on the side"
• "Handle this in the background"
• "I don't want this polluting my context"
