Tested versions and per-Host notes are in the [guide](docs/guide/usage.md#host-notes).\n\n## Platforms\n\nmacOS and Linux. CI runs the suite on `ubuntu-latest` and `macos-latest`, Node 22 and 24. **Windows is untested.** `sideby app` only installs a launcher on macOS and Linux. Linked items are symlinks, `sideby shell-init` prints bash and zsh functions, and the Claude quota wrapper runs `/bin/sh`.\n\n## Roadmap\n\n**Gemini CLI.** Gemini can point at another config directory with `GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR`. Older docs use `GEMINI_CLI_HOME`; current builds treat that name as deprecated, and exit on startup if it is set together with an exact directory override. A sideby family still needs a tested Gemini version, a login check that does not read tokens, and a list of which files to link or copy. That is more than a small patch, so it is not in this version.\n\n## Safe by design\n\n- It never edits a Host's global config to switch accounts. It moves a task to another account only when you turn on Auto Handoff, and never proxies requests or pools logins.\n- It never reads, prints or sends a credential value. Nothing leaves your machine: sideby calls no remote service.\n- `doctor --fix` never replaces a real file and never changes where a link points.\n\nDetails and the terms-of-service question are in the [FAQ](docs/guide/faq.md).\n\nUsage questions and ideas go in [Discussions](https://github.com/Adonis0123/sideby/discussions).\n\n## Docs\n\n- [Using sideby](docs/guide/usage.md): accounts, API accounts, Doctor, quota, Handoff, Host notes\n- [Commands](docs/guide/commands.md): every command, exit codes and `--json`\n- [Configuration](docs/guide/configuration.md): `config.json`, aliases, shell functions\n- [Panel](docs/guide/panel.md): the panel, desktop app and embedding\n- [Plugins](docs/guide/plugins.md): write your own Family or launch hook\n- [FAQ](docs/guide/faq.md): terms of service, data locations, alternatives, uninstall\n- [Changelog](https://github.com/Adonis0123/sideby/releases)\n\n## For AI agents\n\n- [`llms.txt`](llms.txt): setup steps, commands, JSON contract and plugin API in one index. `sideby families --json` states what each Host's accounts share.\n- [`skills/sideby/SKILL.md`](skills/sideby/SKILL.md): one Agent Skill for seeing, repairing and creating accounts and for moving on when one hits its limit. Install with `npx skills add Adonis0123/sideby -g`; `sideby doctor` warns when the installed copy is for another sideby version.\n- [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md): rules for agents working on this repository.\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n"

Once the skill is installed, short requests work too: \"add another Claude account, cc008\", \"what do my Codex accounts share?\", \"which account still has quota?\".\n\n## What it looks like\n\n<img alt=\"Two terminals: the personal account and the work account running at the same time, both linked to the main account's skills and settings, then the local quota panel, and at 95% Auto Handoff moving work's session to the next account\" src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adonis0123/sideby/main/docs/assets/demo.gif\" width=\"1280\">\n\n<picture>\n  <source media=\"(prefers-color-scheme: dark)\" srcset=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adonis0123/sideby/main/docs/assets/panel-dark.png\">\n  <source media=\"(prefers-color-scheme: light)\" srcset=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adonis0123/sideby/main/docs/assets/panel.png\">\n  <img alt=\"sideby panel: every account's 5h and 7d quota, 7-day token usage and health in one page\" src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Adonis0123/sideby/main/docs/assets/panel.png\" width=\"1280\">\n</picture>\n\n## What else it does\n\n| You want to | Run | Guide |\n|---|---|---|\n| Add an API key account (DeepSeek, a gateway, …) | `sideby new claude deepseek --api` | [API accounts](docs/guide/usage.md#api-accounts) |\n| Find and fix config drift between accounts | `sideby doctor --fix` | [Doctor](docs/guide/usage.md#doctor) |\n| See Claude quota (Codex needs no setup) | `sideby quota setup claude --yes` | [Claude quota](docs/guide/usage.md#claude-quota) |\n| Find the cheapest auto-compact size from your own sessions, and use it in one click | `sideby tune` (or the panel's Context tuning tab) | [Context tuning](docs/guide/usage.md#context-tuning) |\n| See each account's model and effort, and set them per account | `sideby model <account>` (or click the model in the panel) | [Model and effort](docs/guide/usage.md#model-and-effort) |\n| Move on when an account hits its limit | `sideby next claude` | [Handoff](docs/guide/usage.md#when-an-account-hits-its-limit) |\n| Let a running task move to the next account by itself when quota runs low (off by default; see the risk) | `sideby handoff enable` (or the panel) | [Auto Handoff](docs/guide/usage.md#auto-handoff) |\n| Short commands such as `ccw` | `sideby alias add ccw claude:work` | [Shell functions](docs/guide/configuration.md#shell-functions) |\n| Reopen a session from Orca and the like in the account that holds it | `\"resumeRouting\": true` in config | [Resuming from other tools](docs/guide/configuration.md#resuming-from-other-tools) |\n| Open the panel from the Dock or app menu | `sideby app install` | [Desktop app](docs/guide/panel.md#desktop-app) |\n| Show the panel inside your own local page | `createPanelHandler()` | [Embed the panel](docs/guide/panel.md#embed-the-panel) |\n| Add a Host or a pre-launch check | a local plugin | [Plugins](docs/guide/plugins.md) |\n\n## Supported hosts\n\n| Host | Account directories | Sign-in | Quota | Usage (7 days) |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Claude Code | `~/.claude`, `~/.claude-<name>` | `claude auth login` | ✓ after `quota setup claude` | ✓ |\n| Codex CLI | `~/.codex`, `~/.codex-<name>` | `codex login` | ✓ | ✓ |\n| Grok Build | `~/.grok`, `~/.grok-<name>` | `grok login` | no public source | no public source |\n| pi | `~/.pi/agent`, `~/.pi-<name>/agent` | `/login` inside pi | no public source | no public source |\n\nsideby starts the official binary on your `PATH` and never patches it. Tested versions and per-Host notes are in the [guide](docs/guide/usage.md#host-notes).\n\n## Platforms\n\nmacOS and Linux. CI runs the suite on `ubuntu-latest` and `macos-latest`, Node 22 and 24. **Windows is untested.** `sideby app` only installs a launcher on macOS and Linux. Linked items are symlinks, `sideby shell-init` prints bash and zsh functions, and the Claude quota wrapper runs `/bin/sh`.\n\n## Roadmap\n\n**Gemini CLI.** Gemini can point at another config directory with `GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR`. Older docs use `GEMINI_CLI_HOME`; current builds treat that name as deprecated, and exit on startup if it is set together with an exact directory override. A sideby family still needs a tested Gemini version, a login check that does not read tokens, and a list of which files to link or copy. That is more than a small patch, so it is not in this version.\n\n## Safe by design\n\n- It never edits a Host's global config to switch accounts. It moves a task to another account only when you turn on Auto Handoff, and never proxies requests or pools logins.\n- It never reads, prints or sends a credential value. Nothing leaves your machine: sideby calls no remote service.\n- `doctor --fix` never replaces a real file and never changes where a link points.\n\nDetails and the terms-of-service question are in the [FAQ](docs/guide/faq.md).\n\nUsage questions and ideas go in [Discussions](https://github.com/Adonis0123/sideby/discussions).\n\n## Docs\n\n- [Using sideby](docs/guide/usage.md): accounts, API accounts, Doctor, quota, Handoff, Host notes\n- [Commands](docs/guide/commands.md): every command, exit codes and `--json`\n- [Configuration](docs/guide/configuration.md): `config.json`, aliases, shell functions\n- [Panel](docs/guide/panel.md): the panel, desktop app and embedding\n- [Plugins](docs/guide/plugins.md): write your own Family or launch hook\n- [FAQ](docs/guide/faq.md): terms of service, data locations, alternatives, uninstall\n- [Changelog](https://github.com/Adonis0123/sideby/releases)\n\n## For AI agents\n\n- [`llms.txt`](llms.txt): setup steps, commands, JSON contract and plugin API in one index. `sideby families --json` states what each Host's accounts share.\n- [`skills/sideby/SKILL.md`](skills/sideby/SKILL.md): one Agent Skill for seeing, repairing and creating accounts and for moving on when one hits its limit. Install with `npx skills add Adonis0123/sideby -g`; `sideby doctor` warns when the installed copy is for another sideby version.\n- [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md): rules for agents working on this repository.\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n"
