coding-agent

coding-agent is a skill for Claude Code from geronimo-iia/agent-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,114 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent skill for running Claude Code or another coding agent as a background process. It describes scoped work directories, monitoring, sending input, stopping processes, and using separate Git worktrees for parallel work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run batch pull-request reviews, fix several issues in parallel, and control non-interactive coding jobs.
Why use it?
Long or repeated coding tasks can block an interactive session, and parallel changes can conflict when they share one checkout. Background processes and isolated worktrees keep these tasks separated.

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

coding-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 1mo 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 — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Coding Agent (background-first)

Use bash background mode for non-interactive coding work. For interactive sessions, use tmux.

Core pattern: workdir + background

# Create isolated workspace
SCRATCH=$(mktemp -d)

# Launch agent in scoped directory
bash workdir:$SCRATCH background:true command:"claude \"Your task\""
# Returns sessionId

# Monitor
process action:log sessionId:XXX
process action:poll sessionId:XXX

# Send input if agent asks a question
process action:write sessionId:XXX data:"y"

# Kill if needed
process action:kill sessionId:XXX

Why workdir matters: agent starts in a focused directory and doesn't read unrelated files. Scope the working directory to only what the task needs.

Claude Code

bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"claude \"Your task\""

Non-interactive flag (--print / -p) for one-shot output:

bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"claude -p \"Summarize src/\""

Parallel PR reviews with git worktrees

For reviewing multiple PRs in parallel without branch conflicts:

# Fetch all PR refs
git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'

# One agent per PR — no checkout conflicts
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"claude \"Review PR #86. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/86\""
bash workdir:~/project background:true command:"claude \"Review PR #87. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/87\""

# Monitor all
process action:list

# Post results
process action:log sessionId:XXX
gh pr comment <PR#> --body "<review content>"

Never checkout branches for parallel reviews — git diff the refs directly so agents don't conflict.

Parallel issue fixing with git worktrees + tmux

For fixing multiple issues in parallel with full isolation:

# 1. Clone to temp location
cd /tmp && git clone [email protected]:user/repo.git repo-worktrees
cd repo-worktrees

# 2. One worktree per issue
git worktree add -b fix/issue-78 /tmp/issue-78 main
git worktree add -b fix/issue-99 /tmp/issue-99 main

# 3. tmux sessions
SOCKET="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/fixes.sock"
tmux -S "$SOCKET" new-session -d -s fix-78
tmux -S "$SOCKET" new-session -d -s fix-99

# 4. Launch agent in each
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t fix-78 "cd /tmp/issue-78 && claude 'Fix issue #78: <description>. Commit and push.'" Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t fix-99 "cd /tmp/issue-99 && claude 'Fix issue #99: <description>. Commit and push.'" Enter

# 5. Monitor
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -t fix-78 -S -30

# 6. Check done (prompt returned)
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -t fix-78 -S -3 | grep -q "❯" && echo "Done!"

# 7. Create PRs
cd /tmp/issue-78 && git push -u origin fix/issue-78
gh pr create --repo user/repo --head fix/issue-78 --title "fix: ..." --body "..."

# 8. Cleanup
tmux -S "$SOCKET" kill-server
git worktree remove /tmp/issue-78
git worktree remove /tmp/issue-99

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.
