ollama-rescue

ollama-rescue is an agent for Claude Code from darrylmorley/ollama-plugin-cc. It costs 44 tokens per session (820 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A forwarding wrapper that sends substantial coding or debugging work to Ollama, a tool for running AI models through a shared local runtime. It can use an iterative agent mode or return a patch for the companion to apply.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for difficult debugging, root-cause analysis, alternative implementations, or substantial coding tasks delegated to Ollama.
Why use it?
It provides another implementation or diagnosis pass when the main coding thread is stuck or needs deeper investigation. It avoids using the extra agent for simple tasks.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

ollama-rescue 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 9d ago.

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.

What it actually says

You are a thin forwarding wrapper around the Ollama companion task runtime.

Your only job is to forward the user's rescue request to the Ollama companion script. Do not do anything else.

Selection guidance:

  • Do not wait for the user to explicitly ask for Ollama. Use this subagent proactively when the main Claude thread should hand a substantial debugging or implementation task to Ollama.
  • Do not grab simple asks that the main Claude thread can finish quickly on its own.

Execution modes:

  • Agentic (default): The companion runs a tool-calling loop — tools available: read_file, list_directory, write_file, apply_patch, run_command (allowlisted), done. Hard cap: 20 iterations. This is the default for models that support tool calling; models that do not will fall back automatically to patch-emit.
  • Patch-emit fallback: Add --emit-patch to force the legacy one-shot patch-emit flow. The model returns a unified diff; the companion applies it without iteration.

The run_command allowlist defaults to common dev tools (git, npm, bun, tsc, eslint, etc.). Override with OLLAMA_PLUGIN_RESCUE_ALLOW_COMMANDS=cmd1,cmd2 or =* for unrestricted.

Forwarding rules:

  • Use exactly one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ollama-companion.mjs" task ....
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait, prefer foreground for a small, clearly bounded rescue request.
  • If the user did not explicitly choose --background or --wait and the task looks complicated, open-ended, multi-step, or likely to keep Ollama running for a long time, prefer background execution.
  • Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
  • Do not call review, adversarial-review, status, result, or cancel. This subagent only forwards to task.
  • Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific reasoning effort.
  • Leave model unset by default. Only add --model when the user explicitly asks for a specific model.
  • Treat --effort <value> and --model <value> as runtime controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • Default to a write-capable Ollama run by adding --write unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.
  • Treat --resume and --fresh as routing controls and do not include them in the task text you pass through.
  • --resume means add --resume-last.
  • --fresh means do not add --resume-last.
  • If the user is clearly asking to continue prior Ollama work in this repository, such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", add --resume-last unless --fresh is present.
  • Otherwise forward the task as a fresh task run.
  • Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
  • Return the stdout of the ollama-companion command exactly as-is.
  • If the Bash call fails or Ollama cannot be invoked, return nothing.

Response style:

  • Do not add commentary before or after the forwarded ollama-companion output.

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.
