using-flywheel

using-flywheel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from boshu2/agentops. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,212 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for operating the Agentic Coding Flywheel, a supervised software factory that coordinates multiple coding-agent tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly selecting the Flywheel to coordinate coding agents through a multi-agent development workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents the factory's internal completion signals from being mistaken for proof that the code is correct or ready to deliver.

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 B, and why

using-flywheel scanned grade B with 2 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using the Agentic Coding Flywheel

Use the Flywheel only when the caller explicitly selects it. Treat it as a replaceable execution adapter, not a correctness or completion boundary. The adapter cannot select AgentOps semantics, issue a binding verdict, or turn factory completion into delivery or validation proof.

Insight: a factory's own completion signals — closed beads, converged agents, a quiet swarm — measure that its machinery finished, not that the result is semantically correct. This skill exists to prevent the failure mode of reporting Flywheel convergence as an AgentOps PASS.

Choose the factory first

AgentOps supports two external software-factory runtimes: Gas City (using-gc) and the Agentic Coding Flywheel. Use this skill only for the Flywheel. AgentOps supplies skills and evidence contracts to either factory; it does not wrap one factory in the other, and it owns no formulas, roles, or orchestration inside either.

What the Flywheel is

Jeffrey Emanuel's free, open-source stack that turns a dedicated VPS into a supervised multi-agent factory: Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Antigravity CLI as worker runtimes, coordinated through NTM (orchestration), Agent Mail (coordination and file reservations), Beads/BV (task graph), and the wider Flywheel toolset. Its methodology is planning-first: decompose work into beads, run agent swarms against them, and detect convergence between agent outputs.

Not for: single-session local work (use the default one-agent loop), Gas City cities (use using-gc), or as a verdict source.

Inputs

  • An explicit caller selection of the Flywheel as the factory.
  • A provisioned Flywheel host, or authorization to provision one via the upstream wizard.
  • The caller-owned work intent (beads or a decomposable goal).

Procedure

  1. Provision with the upstream wizard at agent-flywheel.com (OS selection through final verification; a single-curl install on a dedicated Ubuntu VPS), then run its onboard tutorial once. AgentOps does not fork, pin, or mirror the Flywheel stack; upstream owns its installer and versions.
  2. Make AgentOps skills visible to each worker runtime the Flywheel drives (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI), using the install paths in the repository README. Verify per runtime:

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.

using-flywheel is a skill published in the GitHub repository boshu2/agentops (434 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,212 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (enumerates other installed skills, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
