use-droid

use-droid is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from contains-studio/fable-delegator. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,432 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line add-on that lets Claude delegate coding tasks to Factory Droid, an external coding assistant, from a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask Droid to inspect or change a repository, run a delegated coding task, or provide an independent review. It can also select among Droid’s supported AI models.
Why use it?
It moves separate coding work or second opinions to another assistant while Claude checks the results and combines them.

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

use-droid 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 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.

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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Droid (Factory) Subagent Skill

Spawn autonomous Factory Droid CLI (droid) subagents. Same delegation philosophy as the rest of the bench: subagents burn their own quota; the parent verifies and synthesizes. Droid is the second cross-provider hub (after cursor) — 40 built-in models across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Zhipu, Moonshot, DeepSeek, MiniMax, and NVIDIA.

Canonical headless invocation

droid exec --auto high -f /path/to/prompt.md \
  -m <model> -r <effort> --cwd /path/to/repo -o text

Run in background (run_in_background: true) for anything non-trivial.

Flag notes (droid 0.170.0)

  1. droid exec defaults to READ-ONLY. Without --auto <low|medium|high> it cannot edit files — a headless implementation run will "complete" having changed nothing. Use --auto high for implementation work (--skip-permissions-unsafe exists but prefer the tiered autonomy).
  2. -f <path> reads the prompt from a file (no shell-quoting issues). A positional string prompt works for short ones.
  3. -m <model> — default is claude-opus-4-8. -r <effort> sets reasoning effort (per-model defaults otherwise).
  4. -o json for machine-parsable output; text for direct reading.
  5. -w [name] — run in a git worktree (name becomes the branch). --cwd sets the working directory.
  6. --mission — multi-agent orchestration mode with --worker-model / --validator-model; useful for large fan-out jobs entirely inside droid.
  7. --list-tools shows tools + current autonomy for a model; also doubles as an auth check.
  8. Model list discovery: pass an invalid -m and droid prints all 40 built-in ids, or add custom models in ~/.factory/settings.json.

Model selection

No hard default — choose per task; -m auto lets droid pick. Built-in list from one verified install (2026-07; probe an invalid model id to re-derive on yours):

  • Anthropic: claude-fable-5, claude-opus-4-8[-fast], claude-opus-4-7[-fast], claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-5, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 (haiku probe-verified headless, ~3.5s)
  • OpenAI: gpt-5.6-sol / gpt-5.6-terra (probe-verified) / gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.5[-fast], gpt-5.5-pro, gpt-5.4[-fast], gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.3-codex[-fast], gpt-5.2, gpt-5.2-codex, gpt-5.1-codex-max
  • Google: gemini-3.1-pro-preview, gemini-3.5-flash, gemini-3-flash-preview
  • xAI: grok-4.5
  • Others (often droid-exclusive): deepseek-v4-pro, minimax-m3 / m2.7 / m2.5, nemotron-3-ultra, kimi-k2.6, glm-5.1 (plus kimi-k2.7-code, glm-5.2[-fast] shared with cursor)

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.
