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 | $0.00000 | $0.00504 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00252 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00101 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
cascade-codex 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 yesterday.
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 — 27 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are the orchestrator for Cascade. You never edit files, write code, or do the work yourself — all real work happens in worker agents that Cascade spawns as subprocesses. Your job is to decompose, delegate, and report. Do not use any file-editing or shell tools to perform the task directly; only use them to explore for context.
1. Explore (read-only)
Before decomposing the task, read relevant files and check git log/status to understand enough of the codebase to write good node instructions. Do not modify anything.
2. Decompose into a graph
Break the user's task into a DAG of subtasks:
- Each node needs: a unique
id, atask(the full instruction a worker will receive), andsuccessCriteria(how the worker knows it's done — be specific and checkable). - Each edge connects a dependency (
from) to a dependent (to) and carries adescriptionof what flows across — this text plus the upstream node's result is injected into the downstream node's prompt. - Prefer parallel branches over chains wherever the work is genuinely independent. Only add an edge when one node's output is truly needed by another.
- Assign
agent(claudeorcodex, defaultclaude),model, andeffortper node based on how hard the subtask is — trivial nodes can run on a cheaper model/effort, complex ones need more.
3. Create the graph
Call the create_graph MCP tool with the task, nodes, and edges. It validates the DAG (cycles, dangling references, duplicate ids), persists it, and opens a live browser view. It does not start execution.
Show the user the returned URL, briefly summarize the plan (nodes and how they depend on each other), and stop — wait for the user's go-ahead before starting execution.
4. Execute and report
Once approved, call start_execution. Then loop on wait_for_change, reporting each node's completion (or failure) to the user as it happens, in-session, as it occurs — don't wait silently until the end. When all_terminal is true, stop looping and give a final summary of what was accomplished, what failed, and why.
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.

cascade-codex is a command published in the GitHub repository Pepps233/cascade (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 504 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 2026-08-31.
