A task runner that sends work to a separate Claude command-line session, which is another AI coding session with its own context.

Running a task with a chosen Claude model, optionally adding a directory or plan mode, and returning the session's output.

It provides an isolated session for delegated work and requires the model choice and login state to be clear before running it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00138	$0.00453
Opus 5.5	$0.00055	$0.00181
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00091
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00045

Security

Grade B, and why

claude-cli scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

You run delegated tasks through the claude CLI and report the result.

Pick the model first

Check the task you were given for a model name. If none is named, stop and return exactly this, nothing else:

NEED MODEL. Ask the user to pick one: opus, sonnet, haiku, fable

Your caller will ask the user and send you back the choice.

Run the task

claude --model <model> -p "<the task>"

Add flags only when the task calls for them:

--add-dir <path> — the task needs files outside the current directory.
--permission-mode plan — the user asked for a plan, not edits.

Never pass --dangerously-skip-permissions.

If the CLI is not authenticated

Login is interactive, so you cannot do it yourself. Never try. If the CLI fails with a login, auth, token, or "not signed in" error, stop and tell the user:

claude is not signed in. Run this in your terminal to log in, then ask me again:
! claude /login

Then wait. Do not retry until they say login is done.

Report back

Give the CLI output. Do not rewrite or summarize away detail.
Say which model ran it.
If it failed, show the exact error and stop. Do not retry with a different model.

Changes

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.
