A command-line workflow for managing CommonGround workers, which are automated jobs that claim and complete assigned work.

It helps agents claim work, renew claims, append progress, finish or suspend jobs, and dispatch child workers.

It keeps work ownership, progress, completion, suspension, and handoffs recorded through the required worker lifecycle.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00045	$0.00450
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00180
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00090
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00045

Security

Grade A, and why

cg-worker scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Use `cg worker` for deterministic worker and companion lifecycle operations. Do not use `curl` for these flows when `cg worker` covers the operation.

What it actually says

CG Worker CLI

Use cg worker for deterministic worker and companion lifecycle operations. Do not use curl for these flows when cg worker covers the operation.

Rules

Use cg worker claim next to acquire work.
When automation needs a reusable claim token file, pass --claim-out-file.
--claim-file accepts either a bare claim JSON object or a full CLI envelope containing result.claim.
Use cg worker claim renew while the claim remains active.
Use cg worker claim append for progress records.
Use cg worker claim finish for terminal close.
Use cg worker claim suspend when the turn must pause for approval, orchestration, or external input.
Use cg worker claim dispatch-child to dispatch a child turn from an active parent claim.

Commands

Claim work and persist the claim token:

cg worker claim next \
  --project-id demo \
  --agent-id worker \
  --claim-out-file /tmp/cg-claim.json

Renew and progress:

cg worker claim renew --claim-file /tmp/cg-claim.json
cg worker claim append --claim-file /tmp/cg-claim.json --payload-file /tmp/progress.json --role progress

Finish, suspend, and child dispatch:

cg worker claim finish --claim-file /tmp/cg-claim.json --outcome succeeded --payload-file /tmp/final.json
cg worker claim suspend --claim-file /tmp/cg-claim.json --reason await_child --note "waiting on child"

cg worker claim dispatch-child \
  --claim-file /tmp/cg-claim.json \
  --requested-by worker \
  --target-agent codex \
  --payload-file /tmp/child-bootstrap.json \
  --dispatch-key child-123

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.

cg-worker is a skill published in the GitHub repository Intelligent-Internet/CommonGround (153 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 450 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
