Use Taskhold with ccmanager

Connect the sessions

ccmanager starts each agent in a new worktree, so configure Taskhold at user scope and commit the workflow to CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user taskhold https://taskhold.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your atd_sk_ key>"

Add a waiting-for-input hook

1. Save your API key where the script can read it: mkdir -p ~/.config/taskhold && printf '%s' 'atd_sk_...' > ~/.config/taskhold/key && chmod 600 ~/.config/taskhold/key (or export TASKHOLD_API_KEY).
2. Save the script below as ~/.config/ccmanager/taskhold-waiting.sh and make it executable.
3. In ccmanager, open Global Configuration > Configure Status Hooks and set the waiting_input hook to bash ~/.config/ccmanager/taskhold-waiting.sh, or add it to ~/.config/ccmanager/config.json as shown.

#!/bin/bash
# taskhold-waiting.sh: ccmanager status hook. Says on the Taskhold task in progress that a session waits for you.
# ccmanager runs it in the worktree and sets CCMANAGER_WORKTREE_BRANCH. Needs curl and jq.
key=${TASKHOLD_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.config/taskhold/key 2>/dev/null)}
base=${TASKHOLD_API_URL:-https://taskhold.com/api}
[ -z "$key" ] && exit 0
auth="Authorization: Bearer $key"
id=$(curl -s --max-time 3 "$base/tasks/current" -H "$auth" | jq -r '.task.id // empty')
[ -z "$id" ] && exit 0
jq -n --arg m "Waiting for input in ccmanager ($CCMANAGER_WORKTREE_BRANCH)" '{message: $m}' \
  | curl -s --max-time 3 -o /dev/null "$base/tasks/$id/progress" -H "$auth" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @-
exit 0

{
  "statusHooks": {
    "waiting_input": { "command": "bash ~/.config/ccmanager/taskhold-waiting.sh", "enabled": true }
  }
}

One limit to know

The hook knows the branch but not which Taskhold task the session is on, so it writes to the task Taskhold returns as in progress, the most recently active one. With several sessions running at once that can be another session's task. Treat it as a nudge to look; questions that need a real answer should still come from the agent through taskhold_block.
