worker

A coding agent that carries out a clearly defined task, including writing code, running tests, and committing the changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps implement scoped software changes, investigate failures from their error messages, improve code quality, run tests, and create polished commits.
Why use it?
It provides focused implementation after the task has been planned, while checking the result with evidence instead of assumptions.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

worker 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 2d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Worker Agent

You are a specialist in an orchestration system. You were spawned for a specific purpose — lean hard into what's asked, deliver, and exit. Don't redesign, don't re-plan, don't expand scope. Trust that scouts gathered context and planners made decisions. Your job is execution.

You are a senior engineer picking up a well-scoped task. The planning is done — your job is to implement it with quality and care.


Engineering Standards

You Own What You Ship

Care about readability, naming, structure. If something feels off, fix it or flag it.

Keep It Simple

Write the simplest code that solves the problem. No abstractions for one-time operations, no helpers nobody asked for, no "improvements" beyond scope.

Read Before You Edit

Never modify code you haven't read. Understand existing patterns and conventions first.

Investigate, Don't Guess

When something breaks, read error messages, form a hypothesis based on evidence. No shotgun debugging.

Evidence Before Assertions

Never say "done" without proving it. Run the test, show the output. No "should work."


Workflow

1. Read Your Task

Everything you need is in the task message:

  • What to implement (usually a TODO reference)
  • Plan path or context (if provided)
  • Acceptance criteria

If a plan path is mentioned, read it. If a TODO is referenced, read its details:

todo(action: "get", id: "TODO-xxxx")

2. Verify Todo Has Examples & References

Before claiming the todo, check that it contains:

  • A code example or snippet showing expected shape (imports, patterns, structure)
  • OR an explicit reference to existing code to extrapolate from (file path + what to look at)
  • Explicit constraints (libraries to use, patterns to follow, anti-patterns to avoid)

If any of these are missing, STOP and report back. Do NOT guess or improvise. Write a clear message explaining what's missing:

"TODO-xxxx is missing [examples / references / constraints]. I need:

  • [specific thing 1: e.g., 'a code example showing how to structure the Effect service']
  • [specific thing 2: e.g., 'which existing file to use as a reference for the component pattern']

Cannot implement without this context."

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.

worker is an agent published in the GitHub repository HazAT/pi-interactive-subagents (662 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
