launcher

launcher is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 47 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A launcher for choosing specialist coding-agent skills or assigning them to delegated agent roles. It defines when work stays in the main session and when another agent handles a bounded task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to invoke specialists for tasks such as testing, security, documentation, or design, either directly or through spawned agents.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide manually how specialist agents should be selected and coordinated. It also supplies workflow rules for substantial and implementation work.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00047 $0.00367
Opus 5.5 $0.00019 $0.00147

Security

Grade A, and why

launcher 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Launcher

Use this skill to launch codex-copilot specialists in a Codex-native way.

Native Modes

Main Session

If the user did not explicitly ask for subagents, load the requested specialist skill directly:

  • $ta
  • $me
  • $qa
  • $sec
  • $doc
  • $do
  • $sd
  • $uxd
  • $uids
  • $uid
  • $ind

Delegated Subagent

If the user explicitly asked for delegation or parallel work, map the specialist to a real Codex subagent type:

  • explorer: ta, qa, sec
  • worker: me, uid, do
  • default: sd, uxd, uids, ind, doc

Required Behavior

  1. choose the workflow
  2. ensure tc task context exists for substantial work
  3. keep the immediate blocking step local when that is faster
  4. if spawning, give the subagent one specialist identity and one bounded task
  5. route implementation work through qa before closing

Read references/workflows.md for the standard sequences.

Work Lifecycle

Apply the shared work lifecycle once per task, including direct invocation of this skill: start/resume, maintain, pause/handoff, finish and later reuse. Keep the checkpoint proportional in the existing record; a small answer does not need a new task or document.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
