manta-cli
Operate Manta-managed worktrees, folder contexts, terminals, repos, automations, artifacts, skill sharing, worktree comments, and Manta's embedded browser through the `manta` CLI. Use when the user says "$manta-cli", "Manta worktree", "child worktree", "spawn codex/claude in a worktree", "read/wait/send Manta terminal", "handoff" / "handover" / "give this to another agent", "Manta browser", "manta artifacts", or "share skills". Prefer it over raw git worktree, ad hoc PTYs, or Computer Use when Manta state is involved. Use Computer Use only when a visible window needs GUI control that a CLI, filesystem, or API cannot do.

What does this agent skill do?
Manta CLI
This discovery stub loads the version-matched guide from the Manta executable used for this session.
Resolve the CLI for this session
Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:
- If the
MANTA_CLI_COMMANDenvironment variable is set, use its value. Manta exports this for managed WSL sessions. - Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes
MANTA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, usemanta-dev. - Otherwise, on Linux outside a Manta-managed terminal, use
manta-ide. Never run baremantathere — outside Manta's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine. - Otherwise, use
manta.
Below, MANTA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before
running anything; do not create a shell variable or run MANTA literally. This works the
same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.
If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Manta build.
Load the version-matched guide before running Manta commands
MANTA skills get manta-cli
Prefer --json. Use the selected executable's --help for commands or flags the guide does
not cover. If a command reports that Manta is not running, start it with MANTA open --json
and retry. If it fails with runtime_access_denied, your sandbox blocked the connection:
re-run it with escalated permissions, and do not run MANTA open or restart Manta. If
skills get is unknown, explain that updating Manta restores the guide; use --help for
read-only discovery and do not guess unsupported commands.
How can the creator link this skill?
Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
