Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00014 | $0.02241 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00448 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00224 |
Grade B, and why
octo-factory scanned grade B with 2 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE
MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP
When the user explicitly invokes /octo:factory, you MUST execute the orchestrated factory pipeline below. You are PROHIBITED from replacing the pipeline with a direct Claude-only implementation.
When the user invokes this command (e.g., /octo:factory --spec <path>):
Step 1: Ask Clarifying Questions
CRITICAL: Before starting the factory pipeline, use the AskUserQuestion tool to gather context:
Ask 3 clarifying questions:
- Spec path — Where is the NLSpec file? (provide path, or paste inline)
- Satisfaction target — Accept spec default, or override? (Use spec default / Custom target 0.80-0.99)
- Cost confirmation — Factory mode runs
20-30 agent calls ($0.50-2.00). Proceed? (Yes / Yes with --ci for non-interactive / No)
After receiving answers: validate spec path exists, set overrides, proceed.
Step 1.5: Ensure plugin root is resolvable (run via Bash tool)
OCTO_ROOT="${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin"
if [[ ! -x "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" ]]; then
helper="$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh"
if [[ ! -x "$helper" ]]; then
helper="$(find "${HOME}/.claude/plugins/cache" "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Claude" "${LOCALAPPDATA:-/dev/null}/Claude" "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-${HOME}/.local/share}/Claude" -maxdepth 8 -path "*/nyldn-plugins/octo/*/scripts/helpers/ensure-plugin-root.sh" -print -quit 2>/dev/null)"
fi
[[ -x "$helper" ]] && bash "$helper" >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
fi
test -x "$OCTO_ROOT/scripts/orchestrate.sh" && echo "plugin-root:ok" || echo "plugin-root:missing"
If the output is plugin-root:missing, stop and ask the user to run /octo:setup.
Step 2: Check Provider Availability & Display Banner
Check via bash:
codex_available="Not installed"
if command -v codex >/dev/null 2>&1; then
codex_available="Available"
fi
MANDATORY: Check provider availability before displaying the banner:
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.

octo-factory is a command published in the GitHub repository nyldn/claude-octopus (4,061 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,241 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
