claude-collab is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kevin7Qi/codex-collab. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collaboration tool for sending tasks and messages to Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, running in another session. It can find active peer sessions and start, resume, or stop supported sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps delegate implementation, code review, planning, architecture, design, or second-opinion work to Claude Code. It can wait for delegated results and communicate with live sessions.
Why use it?
It gives developers a way to get another AI perspective without mixing that session's context into the current one. It also records delegated tasks and their replies.

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

claude-collab 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 9d 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.

Claude Code peers

Claude Code sessions in this workspace are peers you can collaborate with: delegate a task, divide implementation work, or review each other's output. Each is a separate agent with its own context, working in the same directory — often the session the user is talking to in another terminal.

codex-collab is the whole path to them: it records every message as a task and keeps its reply, and it starts, resumes and stops the sessions it hands work to. A session started any other way (claude --bg, a terminal) is outside most of that: send can message it while it is live, but codex-collab never stops it, peers stop refuses it, and it is never resumed.

Commands

codex-collab peers                    # who is live here: name, idle or busy, kind
codex-collab send <name> "message"    # hand that session a task and wait for its reply
codex-collab send "message"           # the only live session (the user's, if theirs is the one), or one started for you
codex-collab send --new "message"     # a new session started for you, even while the user's is live
codex-collab task wait <id>           # go on waiting for a task's reply
codex-collab task result <id>         # print a task's reply, if it has come
codex-collab task status <id>         # where a task stands
codex-collab tasks                    # all tasks sent from this workspace
codex-collab peers stop [<name>]      # stop a session codex-collab started
codex-collab send --help              # which session each form of send reaches; every option

Every send is a task with an id, printed when the message is delivered. --timeout <sec> (default 600) bounds how long the command waits. The task continues past it for four hours from sending (or the --timeout, if longer), not counting time a session codex-collab started spends at a prompt the user can answer through Remote Control, and with at least 60 minutes (config linger) after the user answers one; a reply in that time is kept under the id; after that the task is expired. --no-wait returns once the message is delivered; task wait <id> collects the reply afterwards. --file <path> reads the message from a file inside the folder this Codex session works in; - reads it from stdin.

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.
