configure-subagents

configure-subagents is a skill for Claude Code from jcwleo/oh-no-harness. It costs 48 tokens per session (4,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-started setup action for choosing the model and reasoning effort used by nine installed Claude Code subagents. A subagent is a helper process assigned a specific role.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select model and reasoning settings for the installed subagents before future Claude Code sessions.
Why use it?
It lets you control how those helper roles run without changing each runtime configuration by hand.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

configure-subagents 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 11d 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.

Generated Runtime Composition

Configure Subagents

Configure Subagents is a user-invoked setup action. It walks you through choosing a model and reasoning effort for each of the 9 Oh No Harness Claude Code subagents, then applies those choices to the installed runtime agent Markdown so the next Claude Code session dispatches each role with your chosen model and effort.

This skill is human-invoke-only. It is never auto-invoked by the model: its frontmatter sets disable-model-invocation: true, and it is intentionally left out of the SessionStart routing map. Only an explicit /oh-no-harness:configure-subagents from the user runs it.

It is Claude Code-only: it configures Claude Code subagent frontmatter and ships no Codex wrapper. It does not change the generator-owned canonical agents/*.md in the source checkout and never touches Codex custom-agent TOMLs.

Software Development Stage

Configure Subagents is a one-time environment-setup action, not a software development stage. It should not gather requirements, plan, edit project code, debug failures, clean code, or verify completion. It does not invoke workflow skills.

When To Use

Use only when the user explicitly asks to configure, set, or change which model or reasoning effort the Oh No Harness subagents run with. There is no model-driven trigger for this skill; do not use it as part of any automated workflow.

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.

configure-subagents is a skill published in the GitHub repository jcwleo/oh-no-harness (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 4,422 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
