task

A command that sends a coding task, investigation, or follow-up request to a Kimi worker, an AI subagent. It can run the work in the foreground or background.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate coding tasks, research, and follow-up work, with options to wait for the result, run it in the background, resume it, or select read-only mode.
Why use it?
It lets you hand off work to another AI worker without carrying out every step in the current session.

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

task 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to rescue — 44 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Invoke the kimi:kimi-worker subagent via the Agent tool (subagent_type: "kimi:kimi-worker"), forwarding the raw user request as the prompt. kimi:kimi-worker is a subagent, not a skill — do not call Skill(kimi:kimi-worker) (no such skill) or Skill(kimi:task) (that re-enters this command and hangs the session). The command runs inline so the Agent tool stays in scope; forked general-purpose subagents do not expose it. The final user-visible response must be Kimi's output verbatim.

Raw user request: $ARGUMENTS

Execution mode:

  • If the request includes --background, run the kimi:kimi-worker subagent in the background.
  • If the request includes --wait, run the kimi:kimi-worker subagent in the foreground.
  • If neither flag is present, default to foreground.
  • --background and --wait are execution flags for Claude Code. Do not forward them to task, and do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
  • --model and --read-only are runtime-selection flags. Preserve them for the forwarded task call, but do not treat them as part of the natural-language task text.
  • If the request includes --resume, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
  • If the request includes --fresh, do not ask whether to continue. The user already chose.
  • Otherwise, before starting Kimi, check for a resumable task thread from this Claude session by running:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/kimi-companion.mjs" task-resume-candidate --json
  • If that helper reports available: true, use AskUserQuestion exactly once to ask whether to continue the current Kimi thread or start a new one.
  • The two choices must be:
    • Continue current Kimi thread
    • Start a new Kimi thread
  • If the user is clearly giving a follow-up instruction such as "continue", "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper", put Continue current Kimi thread (Recommended) first.
  • Otherwise put Start a new Kimi thread (Recommended) first.
  • If the user chooses continue, add --resume before routing to the subagent.
  • If the user chooses a new thread, add --fresh before routing to the subagent.
  • If the helper reports available: false, do not ask. Route normally.

Operating rules:

  • The subagent is a thin forwarder only. It should use one Bash call to invoke node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/kimi-companion.mjs" task ... and return that command's stdout as-is.
  • Return the Kimi companion stdout verbatim to the user.
  • Do not paraphrase, summarize, rewrite, or add commentary before or after it.
  • Do not ask the subagent to inspect files, monitor progress, poll /kimi:status, fetch /kimi:result, call /kimi:cancel, summarize output, or do follow-up work of its own.
  • Leave --read-only unset unless the user explicitly asks for read-only, investigation-only, or no-edits behavior.
  • Leave the model unset unless the user explicitly asks for one; when they do, pass the requested id through with --model <id>.
  • Leave --resume and --fresh in the forwarded request. The subagent handles that routing when it builds the task command.
  • If the helper reports that Kimi is missing or unauthenticated, stop and tell the user to run /kimi:setup.
  • If the user did not supply a request, ask what Kimi should investigate, build, or fix.
Changes

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.

task is a command published in the GitHub repository satasuk03/kimi-plugin-cc (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 883 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to rescue, differing in 44 lines, and is treated as a copy.
