octo-loop

octo-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mininglamp-OSS/octo-cli. It costs 218 tokens per session (2,247 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A control-plane skill for managing Octo Loop tasks, projects, labels, comments, experts, and expert-team executions. Octo Loop is a system for assigning and tracking work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, triage, update, and monitor tasks; manage comments and metadata; and dispatch, watch, or cancel expert work.
Why use it?
It keeps task coordination and delegated work in one place, including status updates and progress checks.

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 C, and why

octo-loop scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Octo Loop

Use the loop namespace for Fleet control-plane operations. Product names are task, expert, expert-team, and execution; do not use the legacy issue/agent/squad names.

Terminology (legacy → current): agent → expert, squad → expert-team, issue → task, assign a task to an expert/expert-team and trigger its run → dispatch.

When to use / not use

Use this skill when the request targets a specific Loop workspace or task: reading or writing tasks, comments, projects, or metadata; working with experts or expert-teams (dispatch, schedule, trigger a run); replying to a comment, creating or triaging a task, updating status, or reading progress.

Do not use it for chat unrelated to Loop, for pure local file work, or when "issue" clearly means GitHub/Jira rather than Loop.

Authentication

Set OCTO_BOT_TOKEN to a bearer credential Fleet accepts directly, such as bf_, uk_, or octo_loop_. The CLI does not infer a human, device, or execution principal from a token prefix. Fleet verifies the credential and constructs the principal.

Outside daemon task mode, if a command fails with an auth error, check octo-cli auth status and let the user run octo-cli auth login. In OCTO_CREDENTIAL_MODE=task, those profile diagnostics are unavailable: report the auth failure so the daemon can refresh or replace the injected credential. Do not fabricate credentials. Never leak or store tokens, config keys, or API base URLs, and do not bypass workspace permissions with direct HTTP calls.

All Loop commands use the same gateway as every other domain. The embedded paths include the Fleet module namespace, so requests resolve under $OCTO_API_BASE_URL/fleet/api/v1/*.

Workspace selector

Workspace-scoped Loop commands require the --workspace-id <id> flag (sent as the X-Workspace-ID header). There is no environment fallback for it — pass it explicitly. Discover available workspaces first:

octo-cli loop workspace list
octo-cli loop workspace member list <workspace-id> --workspace-id <workspace-id>

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.

octo-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mininglamp-OSS/octo-cli (673 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 218 tokens to every session and 2,247 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
