ccc-ao is a command for Claude Code from KevinZai/commander. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for starting multiple coding agents on separate Git worktrees, which are isolated copies of a project. Agents can work in parallel on shared or separate tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start, monitor, and stop parallel agents, choose their models, and assign work from the current project or a configuration file.
Why use it?
It helps divide larger jobs among agents without having their file changes collide.

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

ccc-ao 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 8d 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.

/ccc-ao — parallel agents in worktrees

CC Commander · /ccc-ao · wraps the ao CLI (@composio/ao) to run parallel agents, each in its own git worktree.

Ask every choice with AskUserQuestion (a plain-text question where it is unavailable): 2 to 4 options, recommended first and marked 🟢. The user's selected model and agent runtime are preserved unless they choose otherwise.

What happens

  1. Check the CLI is installed.

    command -v ao && ao --version
    

    If ao is missing, stop and report: ao CLI not installed. Install it with: npm i -g @composio/ao, then run /ccc-ao again. Do not install it yourself.

  2. Ask what to do:

    • 🟢 Spawn agents on this project — choose count, runtime and tasks.
    • Spawn from a config file — run a saved agent-orchestrator.yaml.
    • Check running agents — ao status.
    • Stop agents — ao stop, after confirmation.

    If the user describes something else, handle it with the matching ao subcommand (ao --help).

Spawn on this project

  1. Ask the agent count: 🟢 2 · 3 · 5 · custom.

  2. Ask the agent runtime: 🟢 Claude · Codex · Aider · OpenCode.

  3. Ask the task strategy:

    • 🟢 One task per agent — each agent gets its own task.
    • One shared task — all agents work toward one goal.
    • Auto-split — the user gives one goal; split it into one task per agent and show the split before spawning.
  4. Collect the task text (one per agent, or one goal).

  5. Spawn. Confirm the flags with ao spawn --help if the command is rejected.

    ao spawn --agents <n> --model <runtime> --task "<task>" --worktree
    
  6. Verify with ao status and git worktree list, then report:

    ao spawn complete
    Agents: <n> | Runtime: <runtime> | Worktree: isolated
    Agent 1: <task>
    Agent 2: <task>
    

    If ao status does not show the new sessions, report the spawn output verbatim instead of claiming success.

Spawn from a config file

  1. Find the config.

    ls agent-orchestrator.yaml .ao/config.yaml 2>/dev/null

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.
