multi-agent-focus

multi-agent-focus is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mims-harvard/AutoScientists. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for teams of agents that organise themselves around an optimisation problem, such as finding the best result under constraints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for collaborative optimisation work involving discussion, experiments, and shared workspace state.
Why use it?
It gives agents a way to discuss different aspects, form teams, run experiments, and adjust when progress stalls.

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

multi-agent-focus 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 ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

multi-agent-focus is a skill published in the GitHub repository mims-harvard/AutoScientists (776 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,055 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
