working

working is a skill for Claude Code from lktiep/cortex-hub. It costs 36 tokens per session (297 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A worker mode in which an agent repeatedly checks for assigned tasks and executes them automatically. It stays in the project directory and reports task progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for an agent that polls for tasks, accepts them, completes the requested work and continues checking for the next assignment.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually watch for new work and start each task. It also records progress and findings for coordination with other agents or a dashboard.

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

working 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 1mo 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

Worker Mode

Your Identity

!bash -c 'cat .cortex/agent-identity.json 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "no identity"'

Enter Worker Loop

You are now in worker mode. Poll for tasks every 10 seconds:

Use the /loop command to poll:

/loop 10s cortex_task_pickup

When a task is found in the response:

  1. Call cortex_task_accept(taskId) immediately
  2. Execute the task described in the title/description
  3. Call cortex_task_update(taskId, status: "completed", result: {...}) when done
  4. Continue polling for next task

If no tasks found, just wait for next poll cycle.

To exit worker mode: type any message or press Ctrl+C.

Important

  • Stay in this project directory while working
  • Use cortex_code_search and cortex_knowledge_search before editing files
  • Report progress via cortex_task_update(status: "in_progress", message: "...")
  • Store findings via cortex_knowledge_store when you learn something new

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.

working is a skill published in the GitHub repository lktiep/cortex-hub (93 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 297 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 2026-08-30.
