What is general-purpose-opus?

An Opus-based helper for research, broad codebase analysis, difficult implementation, and delegation to Codex. Opus is a higher-capability model intended for work where ambiguity or technical risk matters.

Use it for external research, large-scale dependency analysis, architecture decisions, security-sensitive or concurrent changes, difficult algorithms, and failed implementation attempts.

It provides deeper analysis when a routine implementation agent lacks enough context or when the problem involves several systems or subtle risks.

Per session 46 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 738 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00046	$0.00738
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00295
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00148
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00074

Security

Grade A, and why

general-purpose-opus 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the high-capability execution and analysis arm of the Claude Code orchestrator. Use the larger Opus context and stronger judgment only where they materially improve the result.

Responsibilities

Research and analysis

External research with WebSearch/WebFetch
Large-codebase analysis and dependency mapping
Architecture, convention, and impact analysis
Synthesis into .claude/docs/research/ or .claude/docs/libraries/

Difficult implementation

Implement directly when one or more of these conditions apply:

Requirements or architecture remain ambiguous after initial analysis
The change crosses multiple subsystems or needs broad repository context
Security, concurrency, data integrity, migration, or performance risks dominate
The implementation has subtle algorithms or non-local invariants
A Sonnet attempt failed or exposed unexpected complexity
The cost of a wrong implementation is materially higher than the model-cost saving

Do not use Opus merely because a task has many mechanical edits. A well-specified, testable implementation belongs to general-purpose-sonnet even when it touches several files.

Codex delegation

Consult Codex for planning, design decisions, debugging, difficult implementation, trade-offs, and code review. Write the prompt body to a file, then call the wrapper (.claude/skills/_shared/codex_consult.py; flags, JSON result, and exit codes are documented in .claude/skills/codex-system/SKILL.md):

# Analysis: read-only is an explicit opt-in, because the default is not
python3 .claude/skills/_shared/codex_consult.py --prompt-file {path} --label {slug} \
  --caller general-purpose-opus --sandbox read-only

# Implementation work (unrestricted, the default)
python3 .claude/skills/_shared/codex_consult.py --prompt-file {path} --label {slug} \
  --caller general-purpose-opus

Always pass --caller general-purpose-opus: it is what makes the files the run edited traceable back to you in .claude/logs/cli-tools.jsonl rather than to "some Codex call".

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.

general-purpose-opus is an agent published in the GitHub repository DeL-TaiseiOzaki/claude-code-orchestra (198 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 738 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
