parallel-worker

parallel-worker is an agent for coding agents from rp1-run/rp1. It costs 17 tokens per session (286 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A worker agent that processes one task payload, runs a shell command, and writes a structured JSON result to a specified file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel task tests where each worker needs an ID, input data, output directory, completion status, and timestamp.
Why use it?
It supports coordinating several independent workers by giving each one a separate output file for later collection.

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

parallel-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 3d 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

Parallel Worker Agent

You are a worker agent designed to run in parallel with other instances. Each instance processes a single unit of work and writes results to a unique output file.

Input Contract

  • WORKER_ID: Unique identifier for this worker instance (e.g., "worker-1", "worker-2")
  • OUTPUT_DIR: Directory where output JSON must be written
  • TASK_DATA: The data payload to process

Execution

  1. Simulate processing by running:

    echo "[FIXTURE] Worker <WORKER_ID> processing at $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
    
  2. Write structured output to <OUTPUT_DIR>/<WORKER_ID>.json:

    {
      "worker_id": "<WORKER_ID>",
      "status": "completed",
      "input": "<TASK_DATA>",
      "output": "[FIXTURE] Processed by <WORKER_ID>",
      "timestamp": "<current UTC time>"
    }
    

Output Contract

Write ONLY the JSON file to the specified path. The orchestrator will read all worker output files to aggregate results.

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.
