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.

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 | $0.00086 | $0.02839 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01419 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00568 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00284 |
Grade A, and why
arn-code-execute-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 yesterday.
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 — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Arness Execute Task
Execute a single task from the task list by spawning a arn-code-task-executor agent. Optionally run a arn-code-task-reviewer to validate the implementation before marking the task complete.
Pipeline position (this is an alternative entry point, not in the main pipeline):
arn-code-taskify -> arn-code-execute-task (single task) -> [optional] arn-code-review-implementation
Use cases:
- Re-running a failed task after manual intervention
- Testing a single phase independently
- Implementing one task without the full pipeline
- Retrying a task that was escalated during arn-code-execute-plan
Prerequisites
If no ## Arness section exists in the project's CLAUDE.md, inform the user: "Arness is not configured for this project yet. Run /arn-implementing to get started — it will set everything up automatically." Do not proceed without it. Task list must exist (run /arn-code-taskify first).
Workflow
Step 1: Load Configuration
-
Read the project's CLAUDE.md and extract the
## Arnesssection to find:- Plans directory -- base path where project plans are saved
- Code patterns -- path to the directory containing stored pattern documentation
- Template path -- path to the report template set (JSON templates)
- Template version -- plugin version the templates were copied from (if present)
- Template updates -- user preference:
ask,auto, ormanual(if present) - Specs directory -- path to the directory containing specification files (if present)
Template version check: If
Template versionandTemplate updatesfields are present, run the template version check procedure documented in arn-code-save-plan Step 1 (Template Version Check) before proceeding. If## Arnessdoes not contain these fields, treat as legacy and skip.
Step 2: Identify the Task
- If user provided a task ID or number: verify it exists in TaskList
- If user provided a description: search TaskList for a matching task
- If no task specified: show all available tasks (pending, unblocked) and ask user to choose
- Show the selected task: ID, description, status, dependencies
- If task is blocked: warn user that dependencies haven't completed, ask if they want to proceed anyway
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.

arn-code-execute-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository AppsVortex/arness (33 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,839 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
