agent-composer

agent-composer is a skill for Claude Code from chrono-meta/forge-harness. It costs 74 tokens per session (6,261 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A coordinator that chooses which coding agents or skills should handle a complex task, and in what order. It can split independent work into parallel parts and combine the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or run multi-agent work across several projects, especially when tasks can be handled independently.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide manually which tools to use or how to divide a large task.

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 C, and why

agent-composer scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

agent-composer — Agent Composition Layer

A coordinator skill that reads the work context and decides "which agents to dispatch, when, and in what order." Selects the optimal combination from the FH skill pool and either outputs a fan-out plan or executes it directly.

Triggers

  • /agent-composer
  • "Which agent should I use?", "Pick one automatically", "Compose the agents"
  • "Set up the agents", "Decide which agents to use"
  • "Split the work and run in parallel", "Process with multiple agents"
  • "Build the dispatch plan", "Run in parallel splits"
  • When the task is complex or spans multiple projects

Core Principles

  • Compose only: Does not perform work directly. Outputs the dispatch plan and executes after user approval.
  • Parallel first: When 2+ tasks are independent, propose parallel fan-out instead of sequential.
  • Minimal composition: Only the agents needed. Over-provisioning agents creates inefficiency.
  • Coordinator ≠ executor: Only collects results (fan-in) and presents an integrated report.

Step 0. Context Collection

Identify 4 items from the request: task type · scope · constraints · natural-language goal → skill mapping. Check LOCAL_SKILL_REGISTRY.md for project-local skills; check .mcp.json or CLAUDE.md for external plugins.

Detail: See SKILL_detail.md §Step-0 — NL pattern mapping table, cross-install detection, registry lookup format — read when auto-mapping an ambiguous request.


Step 0.2 — Capability Fit Analysis

Schema: knowledge/shared/harness-core/tpa_schema.mdartifact_type enum determines role_match lookup domain for scoring. Runs before dispatching agents. Skip if user specifies exact agents by name.

For each subtask in the composition plan:

  1. Read agent registry: .claude/agents/*.md + installed plugin agents
    Extract: role · allowed_tools · writes · declared_capabilities
  2. Score capability fit: [subtask_type] × [agent capabilities]fit_score (0.0–1.0)
  3. GAP: fit_score < 0.5 for a required-weight subtask
    → query /plugin-recommender: "agent for [subtask_type] in [context]"
    → includes Codex marketplace + Claude Code marketplace (not just FH native)
    → user: install / skip / use general-purpose fallback

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.

agent-composer is a skill published in the GitHub repository chrono-meta/forge-harness (14 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 6,261 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
