automation

automation is a command for Claude Code from Untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator. It costs 0 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line manager for recurring automated work in a project. It sends a saved task prompt to a session on a schedule defined with a calendar rule or cron expression.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for scheduled tasks such as recurring project checks or other repeated agent sessions, and to create, manage, or inspect those automations through the daemon API.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start the same project task by hand at regular times. You can also set the time zone, session type, agent setup, and whether a new automation starts disabled.

About the project

Agent Orchestrator is a local desktop workspace for running and supervising multiple coding agents, giving each task its own session, workspace, branch, and feedback loop. It is for developers coordinating agent fleets across repositories, pull requests, CI runs, reviews, and merges. The catalogue entries are commands, skills, and instructions for working with this orchestrator.

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

automation 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 18d 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.

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.
