Plugin manta from marketplace manta-dev in tr00x/Manta. Commands read from the repo's manifest — 1 month ago.

This plugin runs code on your machine — its hooks fire automatically on events like tool use and it starts local MCP servers. The exact commands are listed below; read them before installing.

What it installs

Skills (16)

  • manta-as-clone

    Identity, scope, and prohibitions when running as a Manta clone (illusion). Loads first thing on clone startup.

  • manta-cast-decide

    Pre-cast self-check for the main agent. Do I actually need clones? Which of the 9 modes? Am I within my subscription's usage/rate limit? Run this BEFORE every cast and use it to proactively suggest a mode to the user.

  • manta-coordinate

    File locks, broadcast etiquette, work-claim board. How a clone shares the bus without stepping on siblings.

  • manta-council

    Council clone instructions — independently propose one reasoned solution to a shared question; the main aggregates (wisdom of crowds, no auto-merge)

  • manta-daemon-idle

    Idle protocol for daemon-mode clones between tasks. Load when entering IDLE state after completing a task.

  • manta-decoy

    Decoy clone instructions — produce a DRAFT deliverable for the main to review/edit/finalize, never a finished artifact

  • manta-doc-chase

    Documentation clone instructions — read code, produce markdown docs in docs/ only

  • manta-graceful-death

    How a clone exits cleanly. TTL, kill, drift, completion — every path leaves the bus and worktree clean. Knowledge dump (≥ 1 manta.zk_write) and a final commit of deliverables are required, not optional.

  • manta-merge-review

    Guide for the main agent to interpret merge-review output and promote a winner from forking-realities casts

  • manta-orchestrate

    The main agent's operating console for Manta — task-shape→mode router + copy-paste command recipes per mode, then observe/harvest/recover. Load BEFORE any manta cast / /manta:* / manta_* tool. Be proactive — when a task fits a cast shape, offer it.

  • manta-pair-protocol

    Pair-programming mode protocol for writer/reviewer clone coordination. Load when mode is pair-programming.

  • manta-pair-reviewer

    Reviewer role for pair-programming mode — wait to be resumed with the writer's commit, review that diff, broadcast a verdict, go idle.

  • manta-pair-writer

    Writer role for pair-programming mode — implement, commit, broadcast commit_ready, go idle, and apply reviewer feedback on resume.

  • manta-storm-coder

    Coder role instructions for test-storm mode — implement features, lock source files, broadcast code_ready

  • manta-storm-fuzzer

    Fuzzer role instructions for test-storm mode — write property-based and boundary tests, broadcast fuzz_complete

  • manta-storm-tester

    Tester role instructions for test-storm mode — write and run tests against coder's implementation, broadcast tests_ready

Slash commands (11)

  • /manta:abort

    Emergency stop — mark every live clone DEAD and write a post-mortem for each.

  • /manta:cast

    Spawn N Manta clones for a mode (recon-swarm, forking-realities, …) against a task. The core verb.

  • /manta:doctor

    Health-check your Manta environment — Node, the claude CLI, the bus MCP registration, and git.

  • /manta:help

    List the /manta:* commands and point at `manta doctor` and the docs.

  • /manta:inspect

    Deep-dive into a single clone — registry, contract, locks, and recent events.

  • /manta:kill

    Mark a single clone DEAD by id and write its post-mortem.

  • /manta:promote

    Merge the winning candidate from a forking-realities cast and graveyard the losers.

  • /manta:recover

    Run one orchestrator cycle — detect zombies, reap stale locks/claims, write missing post-mortems.

  • /manta:replay

    Replay the timeline of a cast — phased events and per-clone summaries.

  • /manta:status

    Print the orchestrator snapshot — live clones, their state, heartbeat age, locks, and claims.

  • /manta:tail

    Stream a single clone's events live for on-demand deep watch (Tier 3 observability).

MCP servers (1)

  • manta-bus

    runs: sh -c DIR="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-.}"; SRV="$DIR/dist/bin/server.cjs"; if [ ! -f "$SRV" ]; then echo "manta-bus: server entry not found at $SRV — CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is unset and there is no dist/ under

Hooks (4)

  • SessionStart

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/bin/manta-session-priming.cjs"

  • UserPromptSubmit

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/bin/manta-prompt-router.cjs"

  • PreToolUse

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/bin/manta-skill-gate.cjs"

  • PostToolUse

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/bin/manta-skill-mark.cjs"
