auto-agent-max

auto-agent-max is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mr-tbot/Auto-Everything. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,454 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setting that removes the normal ceiling on how many subagents the orchestrator may spawn and allows peer-tier models when a task truly needs them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for demanding work such as adversarial checking of important claims or other subtasks that are as difficult as the main orchestration.
Why use it?
It gives difficult subtasks access to more parallel help or a higher-capability model, while still leaving model and agent-count choices to the orchestrator.

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

auto-agent-max 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/auto-agent-max

Remove the tier ceiling. A subagent may run the same model as the orchestrator when the subtask genuinely warrants it.

Usage: /auto-agent-max — the agent count is yours to judge. /auto-agent-max 10 — a hard ceiling of ten subagents.

What This Changes, And What It Does Not

It changes exactly one thing: the cap. From the top tier you may now spawn peers, which /auto-agent-eco forbids.

It does not change the routing discipline. "Max" is not "put everything on the biggest model" — that is not maximum capability, it is maximum spend with a side of latency. A top-tier agent sent to run grep across a directory returns the same answer as a cheap one, slower and dearer, and having four of them queued behind a rate limit is worse than the eco version that finished.

So the question every subagent still has to pass is the same one: what does this task actually need? The difference is only that "the top tier" is now an available answer instead of a forbidden one.

When A Peer-Tier Subagent Is Genuinely Right

Reach for one when the subtask carries the same difficulty as the orchestration:

  • Adversarial verification of a consequential claim. Whatever tries to refute a finding should be at least as capable as whatever produced it. If a top-tier agent found it, a top-tier agent should attack it.
  • Independent attempts at a hard design, where the value is genuine diversity of approach rather than parallel throughput. Three peers reasoning separately, then judged, beats one attempt iterated when the solution space is wide.
  • Deep reasoning over unfamiliar territory — an undocumented protocol, a subtle concurrency defect, a build system misbehaving for non-obvious reasons.
  • Work whose failure is expensive and quiet: security review, licensing judgments, anything that ships and misleads if it is wrong.

When It Is Still Wrong, Even Here

  • Locating code, inventorying files, running builds, applying a stated edit — these do not improve with a better model, and the queue they create is a real cost.
  • Anything where the answer is verifiable by execution. Let something cheap produce it and let the test say whether it is right.
  • Padding a fan-out to look thorough. Six peers on a three-agent problem is not rigour, it is six agents rediscovering the same context and then disagreeing about 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.

auto-agent-max is a skill published in the GitHub repository mr-tbot/Auto-Everything (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,454 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
