multitask-status

A status command for Codex multitask jobs, which split work among several coding agents. It shows the latest job or the status of a selected job and its workers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check a multitask job once or watch its progress. It can also return the status in a machine-readable JSON format.
Why use it?
It lets you see whether parallel work is still running, finished, or needs attention without inspecting the job itself.

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.

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

multitask-status 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 2d 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 Status

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

Keep narration minimal. Report the job status and worker statuses only.

node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs status
node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs status <jobId>
node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs status <jobId> --watch
node plugins/multitask/scripts/multitask-companion.mjs status --json
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.

multitask-status is a skill published in the GitHub repository nikuscs/codex-multitask (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 151 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
