A command that runs pending tasks from a queue in separate headless Claude Code sessions. It can preview work, limit the number of tasks, or keep polling for new tasks.

Use it to inspect the queue, run selected tasks, perform a dry run, process at most a chosen number, or run continuously in polling mode.

It automates queued coding work while checking prerequisites and reporting which tasks succeeded or failed. Branch isolation and pull-request creation help keep task changes separate.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00017	$0.00585
Opus 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00234
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00117
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00059

Security

Grade A, and why

taskrunner 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 1mo 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.

cc-taskrunner — Run Task Queue

Execute pending tasks from the queue using headless Claude Code sessions with safety hooks, branch isolation, and automatic PR creation.

Behavior

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or contains only flags: Run the taskrunner with the provided flags (or defaults).

If $ARGUMENTS contains "--dry-run": Preview what would run without executing.

If $ARGUMENTS contains "--max N": Run at most N tasks.

If $ARGUMENTS contains "--loop": Run in polling mode (check queue every 60s).

Steps

Verify prerequisites exist:
```
command -v claude && command -v jq && command -v python3
```
If any are missing, tell the user what to install.
Check that the taskrunner script exists:
```
ls ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/taskrunner.sh
```

Check current queue status first:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/taskrunner.sh list

If queue is empty and no --loop flag, inform user and suggest /taskrunner-add to queue tasks.

If queue has pending tasks, execute:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/taskrunner.sh $ARGUMENTS

After execution completes, show a summary:
- Number of tasks completed vs failed
- Links to any PRs created
- Any tasks that reported TASK_BLOCKED

Important Notes

Tasks run in headless Claude Code sessions — safety hooks block interactive questions, destructive operations, and production deploys
Each task gets its own git branch (auto/{task-id}) unless it has operator authority
Uncommitted work in the repo is automatically stashed and restored
Tasks that produce commits get automatic PRs via gh CLI
The --dry-run flag previews tasks without executing them

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`CC_QUEUE_FILE`	`./queue.json`	Path to the task queue
`CC_POLL_INTERVAL`	`60`	Seconds between polls in loop mode
`CC_MAX_TASKS`	`0`	Max tasks per run (0 = unlimited)
`CC_MAX_TURNS`	`25`	Default Claude Code turns per task

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.
