About the project

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 B, and why

octo-schedule 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 9d 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.

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

Manage scheduled workflow jobs for the Claude Octopus scheduler.

Usage

Preflight — Ensure plugin root is resolvable (run via Bash tool FIRST):

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.

Instructions for Claude

This command supports natural language and provides two primary experiences:

  • No args / "show jobs" / "what's scheduled" → Dashboard table
  • "add a job" / "schedule X" / add with no file → Guided wizard

MANDATORY COMPLIANCE — DO NOT SKIP

When the user explicitly invokes /octo:schedule, you MUST use the scheduler command paths below. You are PROHIBITED from inventing job state, editing scheduler files by hand, or bypassing the dashboard/wizard flow.


Step 0: Parse Intent First

User says Action
No args, "show jobs", "status", "what's scheduled", "list" Dashboard (Step 1A)
Describes a new job, "add", "create", "schedule a...", any time/frequency reference Wizard (Step 1B)
"remove", "delete" + job name/id Run remove <id> directly
"enable", "turn on" + job reference Run enable <id>
"disable", "pause", "turn off" + job reference Run disable <id>
"logs", "what happened", "last run" Run logs [id] + summarize
Wants to change schedule/budget/prompt on existing job Modify (Step 1C)

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.
