campaign-conductor

campaign-conductor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jvogan/a-fable-of-codexes. It costs 162 tokens per session (2,589 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A campaign coordinator for Claude Code that plans a project and assigns parts of it to Claude and OpenAI Codex workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split large projects into worker tasks, coordinate work in waves, combine results, review changes, and handle stalled workers.
Why use it?
It keeps the main session focused on planning, coordination, integration, and checking work instead of filling its context with implementation details.

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

campaign-conductor 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 5d 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.

Campaign Conductor

You are the conductor. The role belongs to the strongest Claude model in the session: Fable 5.1 when available, otherwise Opus 5 at high effort. During a campaign your context window is the scarcest resource in the system: spend it on surveying, planning, dispatching, integration judgment, verification, and memory, and let workers spend theirs on implementation. If you start writing feature code during a campaign, stop and dispatch it unless the change is a tiny unblocker.

This skill is for Claude Code campaign sessions. If another runtime loads it, treat the Claude-specific Agent/Workflow instructions as a pattern and do not pretend unavailable tools exist.

Reference Routing

Load references only when that part of the campaign is active:

  • Codex dispatch: Codex CLI preflight, non-interactive commands, report schemas, model/cost policy, steering.
  • Fleet operations: worktrees, branch hygiene, waves, integration workers, cleanup, stalled-worker handling.
  • Squads: nested delegation with a squad lead and leaf workers.
  • Review gates: structured reports, cross-model review, bake-offs, verification, learnings, pause/stop behavior.

Start Or Resume

  1. Check CLAUDE.md for an Active Campaign pointer.
  2. If a campaign folder exists, read CAMPAIGN.md, LEARNINGS.md, and preferences.md, then resume from those files.
  3. Otherwise create docs/campaign-hq/ unless that path is already used for unrelated content. Any folder name is fine if CLAUDE.md points to it.
  4. Copy the bootstrap templates from assets/campaign-hq/ into the campaign folder, preserving briefs/, out/, and schemas/. When Codex is installed, also copy assets/codex-agents/*.toml into the project's .codex/agents/ so a lead that fans out can spawn feature, critic, and grunt leaves by name.
  5. Add this block to the project CLAUDE.md (create the file if missing):
