new-worker

new-worker is a command for Claude Code from colossus-lab/openarg_backend. It costs 0 tokens per session (712 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step command for creating a Celery worker, which is a background process that runs tasks outside the main application. It also gives the worker its own queue, the list of tasks it processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a background job with retries, task-specific processing, a dedicated queue, and a Make command for starting its worker.
Why use it?
It keeps the new task, queue routing, and worker startup command configured together, reducing setup omissions.

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

new-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.

Create new Celery worker: $ARGUMENTS

Create a new worker with its task and dedicated queue. Follow these steps:

1. Create the tasks file

Create src/app/infrastructure/celery/tasks/{name}_tasks.py:

from src.app.infrastructure.celery.app import celery_app

@celery_app.task(
    name="openarg.{name}_task",
    bind=True,
    max_retries=3,
    default_retry_delay=60,
)
def {name}_task(self, param1: str, param2: str | None = None):
    """Description of what the worker does."""
    try:
        # 1. Setup (resolve dependencies, create session)
        # 2. Execute logic
        # 3. Return result or dispatch next task
        pass
    except Exception as exc:
        self.retry(exc=exc)

Reference: src/app/infrastructure/celery/tasks/scraper_tasks.py (scrape + dispatch), src/app/infrastructure/celery/tasks/analyst_tasks.py (multi-step pipeline).

2. Configure queue routing

Edit src/app/infrastructure/celery/app.py, add to the task_routes dict:

task_routes = {
    ...
    "openarg.{name}_task": {"queue": "{name}"},
}

3. Add Make command

Edit the Makefile, add:

workers.{name}:
	celery -A src.app.infrastructure.celery.app worker -Q {name} -c {concurrency} --loglevel=info -n {name}@%h

Reference: look for workers.scraper, workers.collector in the Makefile.

4. Add Docker service

Edit docker-compose.yaml, add:

  worker-{name}:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: docker/worker.Dockerfile
    command: celery -A src.app.infrastructure.celery.app worker -Q {name} -c {concurrency} --loglevel=info
    environment:
      - CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://redis:6379/0
      - CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://redis:6379/1
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql+psycopg://openarg:openarg@postgres:5432/openarg
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - postgres

Reference: look for worker-scraper, worker-analyst in docker-compose.yaml.

5. Dispatch the task

From an endpoint or from another worker:

from src.app.infrastructure.celery.tasks.{name}_tasks import {name}_task

{name}_task.delay(param1, param2)
# or with explicit routing:
{name}_task.apply_async(args=[param1], queue="{name}")

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.

new-worker is a command published in the GitHub repository colossus-lab/openarg_backend (143 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 712 tokens. 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.
