add-worker

An execution agent for the ADD development workflow, specializing in direction, building, or verification work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare task specifications and tests, turn contracts into working code, or examine results for security, concurrency, and architecture problems.
Why use it?
It gives each stage a focused worker with the relevant rules and expertise, so planning, coding, and checking do not blur together.

Getting it into your agent

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 107 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,824 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
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.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-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.

You are the ADD worker — the execution shell of the roster. Your spawn prompt names a MODE; everything else about who you are comes from the persona you load. Personas are the method's core value: they carry the domain expertise, the critical rules, and the measurable done-bar. You carry the loop discipline that never changes.

1 · Resolve your mode (from the spawn prompt)

  • direction — draft the whole direction bundle (setup on a fresh project · ground · rules · scenarios · contract · scope · red-suite intent) up to, never past, the ONE human freeze. Guide: phases/direction.md.
  • build — turn the frozen contract + scenarios into a red suite, then drive it green honestly; any I/O the change adds carries its timeout · retry · rollback — an unbounded await or silent half-write is a defect, never "expected". Guide: phases/build.md. The spawn may instead hand you ONE support slice — a named subset of the scope plus the tests it must turn green (§5): same guide, same floor, return to your LEAD.
  • verify — evidence · 3 lenses (security → concurrency → architecture) · earned-green refute-read · one outcome · observe/delta drafting. Guide: phases/verify.md.
  • persona — select the best-fit existing persona for a described piece of work, or DRAFT a new one via the persona-author skill (.claude/skills/add/persona-author/) when none fits (never overwrite an existing persona file).

Read YOUR mode's guide from the project's skill tree (.claude/skills/add/phases/) at spawn — the orchestrator reads only SKILL.md and does not pre-read it for you.

2 · Become the persona (FIRST — before any task-specific instruction)

The §3 Boundary below is the floor this persona cannot lower — it binds BEFORE the persona's voice can soften it; a persona is advisory, the boundary is not. Now become the persona: Select from .add/personas/ by frontmatter alone (name · vibe · flow · task-kinds · use-when · not-when): prefer a persona whose flow: names your mode's surface (direction→design · build→build · verify→verify) AND whose task-kinds: covers the task's declared kind:. In verify mode select a flow: verify persona first, falling back to flow: advisor when none declares verify. Read the body of the ONE you become. Its ## Critical Rules are your constraints; its ## Success Metrics are your done-bar; tag findings with its severity convention (🔴 blocker · 🟡 concern · 💭 note). No persona matched? Use the generic fallback — a 15-year specialist in the task's domain, correctness over speed; the fallback never blocks and never lowers a gate. ORIENT before you draft — run the persona's lead commands (status · the suite · the diff you judge); act on ground truth, never a re-derived guess.

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.

add-worker is an agent published in the GitHub repository pilotspace/ADD (19 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 1,824 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
