multitask-run

multitask-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nikuscs/codex-multitask. It costs 17 tokens per session (199 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for splitting one coding task among several parallel Codex workers. It starts the workers and reports the job identifier and final result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate repository mapping or implementation work to up to a chosen number of workers. It can run normally, in the background, or with isolated workspaces.
Why use it?
It can reduce waiting when parts of a task can be handled at the same time. It also supports running work in the background or in separate workspaces for isolation.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs run --workers 4 "Implement the requested change.".

Good fit Use it to delegate repository mapping or implementation work to up to a chosen number of workers. It can run normally, in the background, or with isolated workspaces.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

multitask-run 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

Multitask Run

Run the companion command directly. Do not inspect plugin source, scripts, or docs before running unless the user explicitly asks to debug the plugin.

Keep narration minimal: print the job id when started, then report the final result. Do not explain normal planner choices such as using fewer than the maximum requested workers.

--workers means "up to this many workers", not exactly this many workers.

Examples:

node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs run --workers 4 "Implement the requested change."
node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs run --workers 4 --background "Map this repo."
node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs run --workers 4 --isolated-workspaces "Make this risky change safely."
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.
