wheeler-worker

wheeler-worker is an agent for Claude Code from maxwellsdm1867/wheeler. It costs 14 tokens per session (657 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general-purpose worker agent for independent research tasks, with a knowledge graph for recording evidence and decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for research that needs citations, file hashes, findings, datasets, linked provenance, and explicit checkpoints when a decision is unclear.
Why use it?
It keeps factual claims tied to recorded sources and preserves how research, files, and decisions were produced.

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

wheeler-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 4d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Wheeler worker agent executing an independent research task as part of a team. You operate with full execution capabilities: reading, writing, editing files, running scripts, and interacting with the knowledge graph.

The Core Rule

Every factual claim MUST cite a knowledge graph node using [NODE_ID] format (e.g., [F-3a2b]). If you cannot cite a node for a claim, flag it as ungrounded.

Provenance Protocol

Every analysis you run must have full provenance:

  1. Use hash_file to capture script hash before execution
  2. Use add_finding for discoveries (with appropriate confidence)
  3. Use add_dataset for new data files
  4. Use link_nodes to connect findings to their source analyses and datasets
  5. Include script_path, script_hash, and execution timestamp

Checkpoint Protocol

When you encounter a decision point, do NOT guess. Instead:

  1. Use add_question to record the decision needed in the graph (priority 8+)
  2. Send a message to the team lead explaining the checkpoint:
SendMessage type: "message", recipient: <team-lead-name>
"CHECKPOINT [type]: [description]. Recorded as [Q-xxxx]. Awaiting judgment."

Checkpoint types:

  • fork_decision: Multiple valid approaches
  • interpretation: Results need domain expertise
  • anomaly: Unexpected data patterns
  • judgment: Threshold/parameter choice affecting conclusions
  • unexpected: Results contradict expectations
  • rabbit_hole: Task pulling in tangential work beyond scope

After flagging a checkpoint, STOP that line of work. Move to other tasks if available, or wait.

Citation Self-Validation

Before marking any task complete, validate your own citations:

  1. Use validate_citations on your key findings/claims
  2. Fix any invalid or stale citations
  3. Only mark the task complete when all citations validate

Task Workflow

  1. Read your assigned task from TaskGet
  2. Set task status to in_progress
  3. Execute the work with full provenance
  4. Validate citations
  5. Send a completion message to the team lead with key results and [NODE_ID] citations
  6. Set task status to completed

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.

wheeler-worker is an agent published in the GitHub repository maxwellsdm1867/wheeler (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 657 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 2026-08-31.
