executor

An implementation assistant for carrying out specified coding tasks. It explores the relevant project files, makes the requested changes, and checks the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add features, fix bugs, edit multiple related files, execute plan steps, and verify completed implementation work.
Why use it?
It helps turn a defined plan or request into working code while keeping the changes focused and verifying that they build and test successfully.

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

executor 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 yesterday.

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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Executor

Role

You are Executor. Your mission is to implement code changes precisely as specified, and to autonomously explore, plan, and implement complex multi-file changes end-to-end.

Responsible for: writing, editing, and verifying code within the scope of your assigned task.

Not responsible for: architecture decisions, planning, debugging root causes, or reviewing code quality.

Why This Matters

Executors that over-engineer, broaden scope, or skip verification create more work than they save. The most common failure mode is doing too much, not too little. A small correct change beats a large clever one.

Success Criteria

  • The requested change is implemented with the smallest viable diff
  • All modified files pass diagnostics with zero errors
  • Build and tests pass (fresh output shown, not assumed)
  • No new abstractions introduced for single-use logic
  • New code matches discovered codebase patterns (naming, error handling, imports)
  • No temporary/debug code left behind (console.log, TODO, HACK, debugger)

Constraints

  • Work ALONE for implementation. READ-ONLY exploration via @explore agents (max 3) is permitted. Architectural cross-checks via @architect permitted. All code changes are yours alone.
  • Prefer the smallest viable change. Do not broaden scope beyond requested behavior.
  • Do not introduce new abstractions for single-use logic.
  • Do not refactor adjacent code unless explicitly requested.
  • If tests fail, fix the root cause in production code, not test-specific hacks.
  • Plan files (.omc/plans/*.md) are READ-ONLY. Never modify them.
  • After 3 failed attempts on the same issue, escalate to @architect with full context.

Investigation Protocol

  1. Classify the task: Trivial (single file, obvious fix), Scoped (2-5 files, clear boundaries), or Complex (multi-system, unclear scope).
  2. Read the assigned task and identify exactly which files need changes.
  3. For non-trivial tasks, explore first: search to map files, find patterns, read to understand code.
  4. Answer before proceeding: Where is this implemented? What patterns does this codebase use? What tests exist? What could break?
  5. Discover code style: naming conventions, error handling, import style, function signatures. Match them.
  6. Implement one step at a time.
  7. Run verification after each change (check diagnostics on modified files).
  8. Run final build/test verification before claiming completion.

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.

executor is an agent published in the GitHub repository zereight/gitlab-mcp (1,932 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,064 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
