Multitrack

Multitrack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HelixDevelopment/code. It costs 79 tokens per session (639 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for running several development work streams in parallel. Each stream uses its own isolated repository checkout and branch, so changes remain separate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan parallel feature work, manage branches and isolated checkouts, and keep track identities distinct. It also covers matching branch names between a main repository and its submodules.
Why use it?
It prevents parallel tasks from interfering with one another and avoids confusion when multiple checkouts or submodules are involved. It also defines how tracks should be named and identified.

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

Multitrack 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 2d 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

Multitrack

Automatic multi-track ruler orchestration (§11.4.187): a universal, automatic, out-of-the-box, inherited-by-reference engine. One conductor session spawns, drives, resumes, monitors and controls per-track headless workers (claude -p --output-format stream-json, session id taken from the init event, success read from result.is_error — never the exit code), with per-subscription authentication, rate-limit (429) rebind and fallback, and a crash-resilient self-supervisor over durable state. Bootstrap is idempotent and auto-invoked on every constitution pull through the §11.4.164 seam.

The consuming project supplies only per-host data: config/multitrack/<hostname>.yaml. The conductor stays home; tracks execute in their own checkouts.

Registration

register.sh <project-root> (defaults to $PWD) is the §11.4.164 auto-install trigger — it carries no wiring logic of its own and delegates entirely to scripts/multitrack/multitrack_bootstrap.sh, whose six idempotent steps are: install the cwd-hook symlink, check the CLI alias availability, validate the per-host config (fatal only here — host data is never invented), seed the orchestrator (reconcile + status), run the read-only drive-preparation probe, and leave the opt-in supervisor watchdog off by default.

Activation ceiling and similarity

Active-track count and worker fan-out are bounded by the host's measured budgets (§12.6 / §12.12); a second concurrent heavy build on one host is never scheduled (§11.4.96 UNSAFE catalogue).

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.

Multitrack is a skill published in the GitHub repository HelixDevelopment/code (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 639 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
