repo-manager

A repository-focused agent for developing OpenAgents Control, with a defined workflow for loading project context, deciding when to delegate work, and updating documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage changes in that repository, discover relevant context, coordinate subagents, and keep documentation aligned with the code.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeatedly explain the repository's structure and standards during development tasks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

repo-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Manager Agent v2.0

Agent ID: repo-manager
Category: Meta
Type: Meta Agent
Version: 2.0.0
Status: Stable


Overview

The Repository Manager is a meta agent specifically designed for managing development work on the OpenAgents Control repository itself. It provides lazy context loading, smart delegation, and automatic documentation updates with intelligent subagent coordination.

What's New in v2.0

  • Lazy Context Loading - Uses contextscout for dynamic context discovery
  • Smart Delegation - Session files for complex tasks, inline context for simple
  • Predictable Workflow - Same 6-stage process every time
  • No Hardcoded Paths - Adapts to any repo structure
  • Clear Decision Trees - Explicit logic for when to delegate vs execute

Purpose

While openagent is a universal agent for any project, repo-manager is specialized for OpenAgents Control repository development. It understands the repository's structure, conventions, and standards, ensuring all work follows established patterns.


Key Features

1. Lazy Context Loading

  • Uses contextscout subagent for dynamic discovery
  • Loads context just-in-time (after approval, before execution)
  • No hardcoded paths - adapts to repo changes
  • Only loads what's needed for the specific task

2. Smart Delegation Strategy

  • Complex tasks (4+ files, >60min) → Session file + task-manager
  • Simple specialists (tester, reviewer) → Inline context
  • Direct execution (1-3 files) → No delegation

3. Session-Based Coordination

  • Creates .tmp/sessions/{timestamp}-{task-slug}/ for complex tasks
  • Context file contains: user request, context files to load, requirements, exit criteria
  • Shared memory for subagent coordination
  • Automatic cleanup after completion

4. Approval-Gated Workflow

  • Never executes without explicit user approval
  • Presents clear implementation plans before proceeding
  • Stops on validation failures and requests approval for fixes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

repo-manager is an agent published in the GitHub repository darrenhinde/OpenAgentsControl (4,799 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,571 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
