job

A command for running named jobs configured inside a Crabbox repository. Each job combines a command with the setup, machine assignment, optional GitHub Actions data, and cleanup needed to run it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list available repository jobs or run one by name. Jobs can cover tasks such as tests, builds, or other commands defined by the repository.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating several separate commands and manages the temporary machine used for the job, including syncing and cleanup.

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.

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

job 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

job

Run named, repo-local jobs defined in your Crabbox config.

A job bundles lease routing, optional GitHub Actions hydration, a command, and a cleanup policy under one name, then expands into the equivalent warmup, actions hydrate, run, and stop commands at runtime. Crabbox owns lease lifecycle, dirty-checkout sync, execution, timing/log output, and cleanup; the repository owns the command string, toolchain setup, test environment, and workflow names.

For the concept and authoring guidance, see jobs.

Subcommands

Command Description
crabbox job list List configured jobs and their key routing fields.
crabbox job run <name> Run a configured job.

Running crabbox job with no subcommand is equivalent to crabbox job list.

job list

crabbox job list

Prints each configured job, sorted by name, with its provider, target, hydrate_actions, and stop policy. Prints no jobs configured when the merged config defines no jobs.

job run

crabbox job run <name>
crabbox job run --dry-run <name>
crabbox job run --id <lease-or-slug> <name>
crabbox job run --stop never <name>
crabbox job run --github-runner <name>

job run takes exactly one positional argument: the job name. The job must exist in the merged config and must define a command (or set syncOnly).

When --id is omitted, job run first creates a lease (via warmup --keep) using the job's routing fields, then runs the job against it. When --id is supplied, the job runs against that existing lease.

Blacksmith Testbox does not support noSync: true. Such jobs exit 2 before warmup, hydration, run, or stop, without generating keys or changing claims. This also applies to --dry-run and existing leases. Omit noSync (or set it to false) to let Blacksmith manage source sync, or choose a provider that supports skipping sync. Job provider overrides and existing-lease routing determine which provider's policy applies.

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.

job is a command published in the GitHub repository openclaw/crabbox (1,343 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,368 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.
