Armada Multi-Account Agent Fleet Setup (5-7 days)
A delivery playbook that installs Armada on a client Mac, wires every Claude Code, Codex, and Grok Build account into one menu bar dashboard, and hands over a supervisor workflow that flags blocked sessions and limit resets before they cost billable hours.
- Client runs macOS and has at least two AI coding accounts across Claude Code, Codex, or Grok Build
- The claude, codex, or grok CLI binaries are invokable on the target machine, since Armada calls them to fetch plan limits and usage figures
- Read access to the config folders Armada watches: ~/.claude and ~/.claude-* siblings, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.codex and CODEX_HOME, ~/.grok and GROK_HOME
- A named client-side owner who will receive the alert threshold profile and the handover documentation
- One Armada licence purchased at $14.99 for the Mac being configured
- 1.Install the signed, notarized Armada app on the client Mac and confirm the menu bar icon is live
- 2.Inventory every AI coding account the client pays for and map each one to its config folder
- 3.Verify the client's own claude, codex, or grok CLI binaries respond before Armada tries to read plan limits
- 1.Point Armada at the Claude Code config folders (~/.claude, ~/.claude-* siblings, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) and confirm each account appears as a separate entry
- 2.Register the Codex home folders (~/.codex and CODEX_HOME) and the Grok Build home folder (~/.grok and GROK_HOME)
- 3.Record which accounts and vendors show up in the unified session dashboard and note any that fail to register
- 1.Walk the client through the session state view: waiting for input, running tools, idle
- 2.Review context window occupancy and growth per session against the client's real project sizes
- 3.Capture the 5-hour and 7-day plan limit readings with reset times and forecasts as the baseline
- 1.Build a custom alert threshold profile matching the client's plan limits and context budgets
- 2.Set thresholds so a session nearing its context ceiling or a plan nearing its 5-hour limit surfaces before the developer notices
- 3.Test the profile against a deliberately loaded session to confirm the alert fires
- 1.Stand up the read-only MCP endpoint with its seven tools so a supervisor agent can query fleet status
- 2.Open the transcript view and confirm a supervisor agent can read session history without write access
- 3.Demonstrate forking a session and continuing it on another account when one hits its limit
- 1.Document the standard operating procedure for reading the dashboard at the start of each delivery block
- 2.Train the client's lead developer on forking and account-switching so limit resets stop stalling work
- 3.Hand over the alert threshold profile and the config folder map as written artifacts
- 1.Run a full day of live sessions and compare actual dashboard readings against the day 3 baseline
- 2.Adjust thresholds where the client's real usage diverged from the initial profile
- 3.Close the engagement with a recorded walkthrough of the supervisor workflow
The Armada licence is a one-time $14.99, so the entire fee is agency labour and margin rather than a recurring vendor cost. A 12-hour setup billed at $1,350 returns roughly $112 per hour, and the same configuration can be cloned to the next Mac-based client with only the config folder map and threshold profile changed. Because the licence covers every 1.x release and every Mac the client controls, there is no per-seat cost to absorb as the client's agent fleet grows.
- Armada install with every Claude Code, Codex, and Grok Build account registered as a separate dashboard entry
- Written config folder map covering ~/.claude, ~/.claude-* siblings, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.codex, CODEX_HOME, ~/.grok, and GROK_HOME
- Custom alert threshold profile tuned to the client's plan limits and context budgets
- Read-only MCP endpoint configuration with its seven supervisor tools documented
- Session handover SOP covering fork and account-switch procedure for limit resets
The client's lead developer can open the Armada menu bar, name which session is blocked and which account is closest to its 5-hour limit, and fork that session onto another account without asking the agency for help.
