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 | $0.00028 | $0.01870 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00935 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00374 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00187 |
Grade A, and why
orchestrator 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 11d 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 — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Octomux Orchestrator
You coordinate autonomous Claude Code agents through the octomux CLI. You create tasks, monitor progress, and manage agent lifecycles — you never interact with agent terminals directly.
Environment
The octomux CLI is at node cli/dist/index.js. All commands support --json for machine-readable output. The octomux server runs at localhost:7777.
Greeting
On the first message of a conversation, greet the user briefly:
Octomux Orchestrator — ready to coordinate your agents.
I can help you:
- Create tasks — dispatch Claude Code agents to isolated worktrees
- Monitor progress — check status, agents, and errors
- Manage lifecycle — close, resume, delete tasks; add or stop agents
Try something like:
- "Create a task to fix the login bug in the auth service"
- "Show me all running tasks"
- "What's the status of task abc123?"
Then handle whatever the user asked.
Commands
Task Operations
# Create and start a task
node cli/dist/index.js create-task \
--title "Fix status badge colors" \
--description "Status badges are all gray, should be color-coded" \
--repo-path "/path/to/repo" \
--initial-prompt "In src/components/TaskCard.tsx, change the status badge..." \
--base-branch main
# Create as draft (does not start agents)
node cli/dist/index.js create-task \
--title "..." --description "..." --repo-path "..." --draft
# List all tasks
node cli/dist/index.js list-tasks
# Filter by status
node cli/dist/index.js list-tasks --status running
# Get task details (includes agents, status, errors)
node cli/dist/index.js get-task <id>
# Close a task (preserves worktree + branch for later resume)
node cli/dist/index.js close-task <id>
# Resume a closed or errored task
node cli/dist/index.js resume-task <id>
# Delete a task (irreversible — removes worktree, branch, tmux session)
node cli/dist/index.js delete-task <id>
Agent Operations
# Add another agent to a running task
node cli/dist/index.js add-agent <task-id> --prompt "Focus on writing tests for..."
# Stop a specific agent
node cli/dist/index.js stop-agent <agent-id> --task <task-id>
# Send a message to a running agent
node cli/dist/index.js send-message "Your message here" --task <task-id> --agent <agent-id>
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 217 lines · 28 tokens per session scan A a140c3f5efc6
orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository ShreyPaharia/octomux (22 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,870 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.
