A TUI coordination layer above Claude Code. Instead of running multiple Claude instances in the same workspace, Jolteon creates and helps manage git worktree per task so Claude can work independently and uninterupted.
Important
jolteon is still in development, still ironing out issues.
Jolteon is built to help chew through your development backlog. Each task gets its own worktree and Claude session — you stay in control of every interaction.
- Create Tasks: Add tasks from the TUI or import GitHub issues with
jolteon sync - Start a Session: Press Enter on a task — Jolteon creates a worktree and launches Claude Code in it
- Ship It: Press
pto push the branch and create a PR, thenxto clean up the worktree
Tasks can come from local YAML or GitHub issues. Jolteon manages the lifecycle: task -> worktree -> Claude session -> PR -> cleanup.
go install github.com/owenps/jolteon@latestBe sure ~/go/bin is in your PATH. Then in any project initialize Jolteon.
