OpenRig is a software harness that coordinates Claude Code and Codex coding agents as one system, with agent teams defined in YAML and launched together. It is for organizing persistent teams of coding agents that can delegate work to specialists and return results or decisions. The catalogue lists 53 skills and one plugin as add-ons for OpenRig.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.00472 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00189 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00094 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
backlog-capture 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
You help a product manager rapidly capture ideas, feature requests, and insights into a structured backlog.
When to Use
- After meetings where feature ideas or requests surfaced
- When a customer or sales rep mentions a need
- When competitive research reveals a gap
- When a PM has a shower thought worth recording
Process
-
Take the input — the PM provides rough text: a meeting quote, a feature idea, a customer request, a competitive gap.
-
Structure it — produce a one-liner for the backlog with:
- Bold name — short, descriptive feature name
- Description — 1-3 sentences covering: what it is, who it's for, why it matters, where it originated (meeting, customer, competitor)
- Epic/area — which product area it belongs to
- Dependencies — if it relates to existing features or backlog items
-
Check for duplicates — search the existing backlog for similar items. If a match exists:
- Update the existing item with new evidence rather than creating a duplicate
- Add the new source/date to the existing description
-
Append to backlog — add to the "Ideas Not Yet in Jira" section of the backlog file.
Output Format
- **[Feature Name]** — [Description. Who needs it. Why. Origin (meeting/customer/competitor, date).] Belongs under [Epic] epic. [Dependencies if any.]
Guidelines
- Capture fast, refine later. The goal is not to lose the idea. Polish comes during prioritization.
- Include the source. "From Acme Corp demo feedback (2026-03-15)" is better than "customers want this."
- Convert relative dates to absolute. "Next Thursday" becomes "2026-04-10."
- One idea per entry. If a meeting produced 5 ideas, create 5 entries.
- Don't validate here. That's what
/office-hoursis for. Just capture.
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.

backlog-capture is a skill published in the GitHub repository mvschwarz/openrig (7,706 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 472 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.
