Project Desk — AI skill for Claude Code
Shared workspace where Claude Code, Codex and humans coordinate on one codebase — an MCP server for task claims, file locks, agent-to-agent messaging, handoffs and completion evidence.
How to install Project Desk
This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no

What Project Desk does
Shared workspace where Claude Code, Codex and humans coordinate on one codebase — an MCP server for task claims, file locks, agent-to-agent messaging, handoffs and completion evidence. Stops two AI agents silently overwriting each other.

README
Run five coding agents on one big codebase without them tripping over each other,
and see everything that needs you in one place.
Why Project Desk
Big projects are now built by several AI coding agents at once: a Claude Code session on checkout, a Codex session on the API, another fixing CI, and you in the middle. They are fast. They are also blind to each other. Each one works as if it were alone, so they edit the same file, redo each other's work, deploy over each other, and forget everything when their context runs out. You become the message bus.
Project Desk is a small local MCP server that gives every agent, and you, one shared desk:
- Claims instead of collisions. An agent locks the literal paths it will touch. An overlapping claim is refused before any edit, not discovered at merge time.
- One place for what needs you. Approvals, questions, stale claims, refused claims and the notes agents leave you arrive in a single queue, from every project, with keyboard shortcuts to answer them.
- **Memory that outlives a se
