router-agent

router-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cintia09/CodeNook. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,282 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-creation entry point that prepares the context for a separate worker agent. It creates task files, renders the worker's instructions, and, after confirmation, starts the first orchestration step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it once per user turn to create a task, prepare its prompt and state, request confirmation when needed, and launch the first worker step.
Why use it?
It separates deterministic task setup from the worker that performs the actual conversational 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 A, and why

router-agent 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (render_prompt.py, spawn.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

router-agent (builtin skill — M8.2)

Role

Per-turn entry point the main session calls to dispatch a real subagent for conversational task creation. The router-agent is the SOLE domain-aware component on the task-creation side (see docs/router-agent.md §2).

This skill ships:

File Purpose
spawn.sh CLI entry the main session invokes once per user turn. Thin shell wrapper around render_prompt.py.
render_prompt.py Deterministic context-prep + handoff helper. Acquires the per-task fcntl lock, mutates tasks/<tid>/, renders the system prompt, and on --confirm materialises state.json and runs the first orchestrator-tick.
prompt.md Long-form system-prompt template for the spawned subagent.
schemas/ M5 YAML DSL schemas for the four canonical files (shipped in M8.1).

Layering reminder

spawn.sh does not call an LLM. Its job is the deterministic context-prep + handoff envelope: it writes a fully-rendered prompt to tasks/<tid>/.router-prompt.md and emits a JSON envelope that tells the main session "go spawn a Task subagent with this prompt". The subagent itself writes back to router-context.md / router-reply.md / draft-config.yaml; the next spawn.sh invocation observes the new state.

This split keeps spawn.sh portable across host runtimes (Claude Code Task tool, Copilot CLI task tool, plain shell) while pinning all domain logic inside the subagent prompt.

Inputs

Flag Required Meaning
--task-id <T-NNN> yes Task id to operate on (creates tasks/<tid>/ if absent).
--workspace <path> yes Workspace root. Tasks live under <ws>/.codenook/tasks/, plugins under <ws>/.codenook/plugins/.
--user-turn <text> no The user's latest utterance (omit on initial spawn before any user input).
--user-turn-file <path> no Same as --user-turn but read from a file (avoids shell-quoting hazards).
--confirm no Handoff mode: validate the current draft-config.yaml, materialise state.json, and run the first orchestrator-tick.

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.

router-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository cintia09/CodeNook (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,282 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
