cowork

cowork is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alessiomarcone/agent-fieldbook. It costs 69 tokens per session (465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for Cowork, a work-automation tool that can use folders, connected services, reusable instructions, schedules, and approval steps. It helps turn an operational goal into a reviewable process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design recurring briefs and multi-source workflows for legal, sales, marketing, finance, or other operations, with human approval before consequential actions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of automating work without clear sources, boundaries, freshness rules, or human checks. It also helps choose between Cowork, regular chat, shared projects, and Claude Code.

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

cowork 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.

What it actually says

Cowork

Turn an operational objective into a Cowork workflow that stays reviewable and under human control.

References

  • Always read references/knowledge-base.md for product selection.
  • Read references/sources.md before making a time-sensitive product claim.
  • Read references/cowork.md and references/desktop-app.md for delegated desktop workflows.
  • Read references/claude-code-estensioni.md for Claude Code extensions.
  • Read references/plugin-building.md only for customization or distribution.

Procedure

  1. Resolve the outcome, source context, cadence, collaborators, risk, and required external systems.
  2. Confirm Cowork is the right surface: use normal Chat/Projects for conversation and shared knowledge, and Claude Code for repository engineering.
  3. Define the one-time setup: working folder, connected sources, stable instructions, and any reusable skill.
  4. Write the brief with expected output, freshness window, missing-data behavior, boundaries, and success checks.
  5. Add approval gates before messages, publishing, sensitive edits, purchases, or irreversible actions.
  6. Require source-linked verification and a human first-run review for consequential workflows.
  7. Verify current plans, UI paths, connectors, scheduling, and availability before stating them as current.

Output contract

Return:

  1. Fit — why Cowork is the right surface.
  2. Setup — folders, permissions, connectors, and reusable guidance.
  3. Ready brief — the exact on-demand or scheduled request.
  4. Approval and verification — required human gates and checks.
  5. Reuse — what should become persistent instructions, a skill, or a plugin.

Boundaries

  • Do not assume unconnected data is accessible.
  • Do not send, publish, approve, or schedule external work without authority.
  • Do not transfer Codex configuration into Claude products.
  • Answer in the user's language.
Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
