Headlong is a Bash-based agent microharness for running language-model agents in persistent, self-directed loops. People use it to create agents that maintain ongoing interests and projects, interact through shell commands, and share one stream of conversations across a team and chat services.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00025 | $0.00322 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00129 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
opencode scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 25d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Use this capability during the existing act action for a bounded coding task
with a meaningful independent verification command. Write the requirements to
a task file and invoke the installed wrapper:
"$IDENTITY_DIR/extensions/opencode/bin/coding-agent" \
--repo /absolute/path/to/repository --task-file /absolute/path/to/task.md \
--verify 'project-specific-check' --out /absolute/path/to/new-artifacts
Inspect the status, candidate commit, patch, verification output, and child
trajectory reference. A passing test does not establish that the requirements
are satisfied: review the diff and behavior the test did not cover. Record
rejection and concrete feedback in the trajectory when inadequate. For a
revision, use a fresh output directory and retain earlier candidate/review
references. Leave satisfactory candidates ready for human review with
accepted:false. Enablement does not authorize merge, push, deployment, or
acceptance.
The operator may disable this skill between wakes. A remembered absolute path will then reject new calls; do not bypass that control. Worktrees and model permissions are not an OS sandbox. See the installed package's README for runtime configuration and retained artifact cleanup.
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.

opencode is a skill published in the GitHub repository laude-institute/headlong (1,227 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 322 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-29.

autoreview
Structured code review through the shared OpenClaw agent-skills installation.
omh-code-review
This is an OMH code-review workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).
revdiff-plan
Review the last Codex assistant message (plan, analysis, or proposal) with inline annotations in a TUI overlay. Extracts the most recent response from Codex rollout files and opens it in revdiff for review and annotation. Activates on "revdiff-plan", "review plan with revdiff", "annotate plan", "review last response"…
explore-unknowns
Guide the user through a quadrant walk that maps the unknowns of a task — open by listing the known knowns, then work through known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns one stage at a time, ending with a complete four-quadrant map in the user's hands. Use when a request is ambiguous or underspecified, the…
asplos-writing-style
Use when drafting or revising ASPLOS prose — engineering the first two pages that rapid review actually reads, stating the cross-layer insight as one quotable sentence, structuring per-layer mechanism sections, writing bounded claims, and fitting everything into 11 self-contained pages that include figures and…
re0-merge
Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve, credit, and explain before closing. Use when reviewing a pull request, as any collaborator or maintainer, not only the…
