send

send is a command for Claude Code from Untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator. It costs 0 tokens per session (540 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for sending a new message to an AI agent session that is already running. The message can correct the agent or give it different instructions while it continues working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send corrections, narrow the work to a specific area, point out the likely source of a bug, or provide follow-up instructions.
Why use it?
It avoids stopping and restarting an active agent when its focus needs to change. This is useful when you discover the right file, scope, or approach mid-task.

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

send 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ao send

Send a message to a running agent session. Use this to correct or direct a live agent mid-stream without killing and respawning it.

Syntax

ao send [flags]

Flags

Flag Meaning Default / Required
--message string Message body Required unless --recover-only
--session string Session id Required
--steer Add guidance to the active Chat turn, or start a normal turn when idle Optional
--client-message-id string Stable delivery handle for steering and safe retries Generated automatically with --steer
--recover-only Recover the outcome for an existing delivery handle without resending Requires --steer and --client-message-id

Steering and recovery

--steer uses one atomic daemon operation. If the session has an active Chat turn, the message is added to that turn. If the session is idle, the message starts a normal Chat turn. The state cannot change between those decisions and leave the message queued as a separate correction.

Every steering request has a client message id. Supply one explicitly when a caller must retain the handle across retries:

ao send --session mer-3 --steer --client-message-id correction-42 --message "Focus only on the backend."

If the command reports an uncertain outcome or a transport failure, preserve the delivery handle printed in the error. Recover the existing result without contacting the provider again:

ao send --session mer-3 --steer --recover-only --client-message-id correction-42

Do not invent a new client message id after an uncertain result. Reusing the original id lets the daemon return the durable steering receipt or normal turn without delivering the message twice. Recovery confirms the recorded delivery outcome, not that the agent acted on the guidance.

Examples

# Send a correction to a running session
ao send --session mer-3 --message "Focus only on the backend; ignore frontend files."

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.
