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.

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 | $0.00128 | $0.02960 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00051 | $0.01184 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00592 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00296 |
Grade B, and why
rigs scanned grade B 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 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

rigs: your route into OpenRig
OpenRig runs a team of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex and others) side by side in tmux. A local daemon keeps their tasks, messages and state, so the team keeps working across restarts. This skill gets OpenRig installed, gets a team working on what the person wants, and shows how to work with that team from here.
The goal is a team doing the person's work, not just an install. Go through the steps in order and stop early only if the person asks you to. When they say what they want built, give it to OpenRig's operator (step 2) instead of building it yourself.
Tell the person what you're about to run and why before you run it. Don't install system packages or change their
machine without a yes. Starting OpenRig and a team writes files: Codex hooks and settings in
~/.codex/config.toml, a discovery skill in ~/.claude/skills and ~/.agents/skills, and, in the repository, managed
guidance in AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md plus the team's skills and plugins. Say so before you start OpenRig
(the full list).
1. Install OpenRig, if it isn't installed
- Check first:
rig --version. If it prints a version, go to step 2. - What it needs: macOS or Linux, Node.js 22 or 24, tmux, and Claude Code or Codex signed in. Check only what's
missing:
node --version,tmux -V,claude auth statusorcodex login status. - Install:
npm install -g @openrig/cli, thenrig preflight(Node, tmux, the daemon port and state folders) andrig doctor. - Then go on to step 2: say it's installed and ask what they want worked on, and in which repository. A plain "install OpenRig" includes this. Stop here only if they say not to start a team.
- If something fails:
rig context get helpis the help guide for the installed version. Ifrigitself won't run, use https://www.openrig.dev/help/agents. Getting started: https://openrig.dev/docs/getting-started
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.

rigs is a skill published in the GitHub repository mvschwarz/openrig (7,545 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 2,960 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-07.
