* refactor(server): move checkout write handlers into CheckoutSession The checkout read side moved into session/checkout/checkout-session.ts in #1644; the 17 inline write/PR/stash handlers stayed on the Session god-object. This carves them into the same subsystem behind an expanded CheckoutSessionHost, so dispatchCheckoutMessage becomes pure delegation and session.ts drops ~800 lines. Moved into CheckoutSession (verbatim, only this.X -> this.host.X rewiring): switch/rename branch, commit, merge, merge-from-base, pull, push, PR create/merge, github auto-merge/check-details, PR status/timeline, github search, stash save/pop/list, plus resolveCurrentPullRequest and the PR-timeline helpers. CheckoutSessionHost gains the Session-owned, non-checkout collaborators these handlers orchestrate (notifyGitMutation, emitWorkspaceUpdateForCwd, handleWorkspaceGitBranchSnapshot, renameCurrentBranch, checkoutExistingBranch, and the LLM commit/PR-text generators); paseoHome/worktreesRoot join the options bag. GitMutationRefreshReason moves to utils/checkout-git.ts so both the shell and the subsystem share one canonical type. session.test.ts checkout tests now drive the handlers through the public handleMessage boundary instead of reaching into private methods; new mock-free fake-host tests cover the moved handlers directly in checkout-session.test.ts. Behavior-preserving: full session.test.ts + checkout-session.test.ts green, typecheck/lint/format clean. * refactor(server): extract chat/schedule/loop handlers into ChatScheduleLoopSession Move the 7 chat/*, 9 schedule/*, and 5 loop/* request handlers, the three rpc-error emitters (kept separate), and toScheduleSummary out of the Session god-object into session/chat/chat-schedule-loop-session.ts, mirroring the shipped CheckoutSession/VoiceSession deep-module-with-narrow-Host pattern. The least-coupled remaining domain: stateless request/response over chatService/scheduleService/ loopService, reaching the shell only through a narrow ChatScheduleLoopSessionHost (emit + agent-roster reads + the mention-fanout send). session.ts drops ~590 lines. The two dispatch switches collapse into one: schedule/* was previously reached only via the chat dispatcher's default fall-through arm — now all 21 types are explicit delegation cases, removing that fragility. Behavior-preserving: a new routing test drives the real Session.handleMessage for all 21 types (guards against a silently-dropped case), green before and after the move; a collocated subsystem test covers the mention-fanout send seam, the fanout-limit error code, the self->agent target remap, and the toScheduleSummary runs-stripping. * refactor(server): extract provider catalog handlers into ProviderCatalogSession Move the 8 provider-catalog handlers (model/mode/feature listing, providers snapshot pull/refresh, diagnostic, usage) plus emitProviderDisabledResponse, getProviderSnapshotEntryForRead, buildDraftAgentSessionConfig, the two mode-icon downgrade helpers, and the providers_snapshot_update PUSH wiring out of session.ts into session/provider/provider-catalog-session.ts behind a narrow ProviderCatalogSessionHost seam — the same deep-module pattern as ChatScheduleLoopSession, CheckoutSession, and VoiceSession. The PUSH (start) and every PULL gate provider visibility and downgrade mode icons through the SAME injected predicates (isProviderVisibleToClient + supportsCustomModeIcons), both reading appVersion/clientCapabilities live — the COMPAT invariant the shell could only enforce by code proximity before. dispatchProviderMessage collapses to delegation; start()/dispose() wire into subscribeToOptionalManagers/cleanup at the same ordinal. session.ts drops ~372 lines. Behavior-preservation gate (provider routing through the real Session.handleMessage) green before and after; full session.test.ts 115/115; new collocated subsystem test covers the PUSH/PULL parity seam, the disabled-provider path, and the usage/feature error envelopes. * refactor(server): extract workspace file-access handlers into WorkspaceFilesSession Move the file-explorer, file-upload, file-transfer-frame, project-icon and file-download-token handlers out of session.ts into session/files/workspace-files-session.ts behind a narrow WorkspaceFilesSessionHost seam (emit/emitBinary/hasBinaryChannel), matching the deep-module-with-Host shape used by CheckoutSession/ChatScheduleLoopSession/ProviderCatalogSession. The new module owns the FileUploadStore and is injected the daemon's DownloadTokenStore; the shell's dispatch cases and the file_transfer binary route collapse to delegation. The five handlers touch no workspace-git observer, registry or subscription state, so this is a clean self-contained slice of the workspace domain. session.ts drops 240 lines (7316 -> 7076). Behavior-preservation tests (file explorer list/read/binary, download token success + empty-cwd, project icon, upload round-trip) added to session.test.ts and run green against the pre- and post-refactor Session; a collocated workspace-files-session.test.ts exercises the module via a fake host with real upload/download stores (no module mocks). * refactor(server): extract agent-config setters into AgentConfigSession Move the four agent-config setters (set_agent_mode/model/feature/thinking) out of the session god-object into session/agent-config/, collapsing their four near-identical try/log/emit envelopes into one applyConfigChange helper behind a narrow { emit } host plus an AgentConfigOperations port. Behavior-preserving: the dispatch cases delegate unchanged, setAgentModeCommand still routes the mode path, and model/feature still emit no notice. Adds the previously-absent failure-envelope coverage: 8 gate tests in session.test.ts (success + forced failure per setter, asserting the *_response envelope and the activity_log-before-response ordering) green before and after the carve, plus a collocated agent-config-session.test.ts (typed fake operations + fake host, no module mocks). session.ts drops ~173 lines. * refactor(server): extract project-config handlers into ProjectConfigSession Move read/write_project_config handlers, their failure emitters, and the root-resolution helpers (resolveKnownProjectRootForConfig, canonicalizeConfigRoot, stripTrailingPathSeparators) out of session.ts into session/project-config/, behind a narrow { emit } host plus a projectRegistry port — matching the established session/<domain>/ pattern. Also corrects a misfiling: project-config was dispatched inside dispatchAgentConfigMessage despite being its own domain. session.ts drops 155 lines (6903 -> 6748). The handleMessage-driven gate in session.test.ts (project config RPC authorization) is green before and after; new collocated project-config-session.test.ts covers the subsystem with a fake host and fake registry over a real filesystem (no module mocks). * refactor(server): extract daemon status/pairing handlers into DaemonSession Move the two daemon.* RPC handlers (daemon.get_status, daemon.get_pairing_offer) out of session.ts into session/daemon/daemon-session.ts behind a narrow { emit } host + injected reads (paseoHome, serverId, daemonVersion, daemonRuntimeConfig, listProviderAvailability). These were misfiled inside dispatchAgentConfigMessage despite being daemon- not agent-scoped; the slice also removes the now-dead serverId/daemonVersion/daemonRuntimeConfig fields and the getPidLockInfo/generateLocalPairingOffer imports from the god-file, and collapses the inline daemonRuntimeConfig type into a named DaemonRuntimeConfig. The daemon-config get/set handlers stay inline: daemonConfigStore is a listener-bearing, cross-domain hub (read by structured-generation, websocket-server, bootstrap, archive-if-safe), so moving it would double-own it. session.ts: 6748 -> 6662 lines. Gate: new session.test.ts daemon round-trips (status success + listing-rejects fallback, pairing relay-disabled) pass before and after; new collocated daemon-session.test.ts (fake host + injected reads over a real temp dir, no module mocks) 4/4. typecheck/lint/format clean.
Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi agents.
Note
I'm a solo maintainer and don't always keep up with GitHub Issues daily. If something is urgent or blocking you, Discord is the fastest place to reach me.
Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.
- Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, scan the QR code shown in Settings.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
This shows a QR code in the terminal. Connect from any client. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
For full setup and configuration, see:
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon
paseo --host workstation.local:6767 run "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-loop— loop an agent against clear acceptance criteria (aka Ralph loops), optionally with a verifier./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.
