Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.
Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.
/plugin marketplace add nyldn/claude-octopus/plugin install octoWrote this? Show the measurements

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 | $0.00023 | $0.07741 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.03870 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.01548 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00774 |
Grade A, and why
flow-deliver 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 10d 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.

Pre-Delivery: State Check
Before starting delivery:
- Read
.octo/STATE.mdto verify Develop phase complete - Update STATE.md:
- current_phase: 4
- phase_position: "Delivery"
- status: "in_progress"
# Verify Develop phase is complete
if [[ -f ".octo/STATE.md" ]]; then
develop_status=$("${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/octo-state.sh" get_phase_status 3)
if [[ "$develop_status" != "complete" ]]; then
echo "⚠️ Warning: Develop phase not marked complete. Consider completing development first."
fi

# Update state for Delivery phase
"${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/scripts/octo-state.sh" update_state \
--phase 4 \
--position "Delivery" \
--status "in_progress"
⚠️ EXECUTION CONTRACT (MANDATORY - CANNOT SKIP)
This skill uses ENFORCED execution mode. You MUST follow this exact sequence.
STEP 1: Detect Work Context (MANDATORY)
Analyze the user's prompt and project to determine context:
Knowledge Context Indicators:
- Document terms: "report", "presentation", "PRD", "proposal", "document", "brief"
- Quality terms: "argument", "evidence", "clarity", "completeness", "narrative"
Dev Context Indicators:
- Code terms: "code", "implementation", "API", "endpoint", "function", "module"
- Quality terms: "security", "performance", "tests", "coverage", "bugs"
Also check: What is being reviewed? Code files -> Dev, Documents -> Knowledge
Capture context_type = "Dev" or "Knowledge"
Step 1b: Detect Dev Subtype (if Dev context)
When context_type is Dev, determine the subtype to inject domain-appropriate validation criteria into the review prompt. Append the matching validation supplement after the user's prompt when calling orchestrate.sh in Step 4.
| Subtype | Trigger keywords | Validation supplement |
|---|---|---|
frontend-ui |
"page", "widget", "component", "UI", "HTML", "CSS", "form", "dashboard", "layout" | Verify: all referenced files exist (scripts, stylesheets, images). Check ARIA labels and roles, keyboard navigability, touch target sizes (44px min). Flag innerHTML usage. Confirm progressive enhancement (fallbacks for navigator.share, localStorage, etc). Test self-containment: does this work if opened/run with zero setup? |
cli-tool |
"CLI", "command-line", "terminal", "script", "flag", "argument" | Verify: --help flag works, exit codes are meaningful (0/1/2), stderr vs stdout used correctly, argument edge cases handled (missing args, invalid input, --unknown-flag). |
api-service |
"API", "endpoint", "REST", "GraphQL", "gRPC", "server", "route" | Verify: input validation at every endpoint, consistent error response format, auth on protected routes, rate limiting considered, schema/contract documented. |
infra |
"deploy", "terraform", "docker", "CI", "pipeline", "Kubernetes", "helm" | Verify: operations are idempotent, no hardcoded secrets, rollback path exists, health checks included, destroy operations require confirmation. |
data |
"ETL", "pipeline", "migration", "schema", "database", "SQL" | Verify: migrations are reversible, data validation at ingestion, backup strategy documented, no data loss on failure. |
general |
Default if no subtype matches | No supplement — use standard review criteria. |
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 926 lines · 23 tokens per session scan A bd7c077cb4ef
flow-deliver is a skill published in the GitHub repository nyldn/claude-octopus (4,058 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 7,741 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
drain-labeled-backlog
This skill should be used when draining a labeled issue backlog (deferred-scope-out, code-review, type/security) in one cleanup PR. Groups by code area and delegates to /soleur:one-shot.
drain-prs
This skill should be used when draining open remote GitHub PRs: triage every open pull request into mergeable tiers, confirm scope with the operator, then fix and merge the green ones. The PR-counterpart to drain-labeled-backlog.
agent-native-reviewer
Use this agent when reviewing code to ensure features are agent-native -- any action a user can take, an agent can also take, and anything a user can see, an agent can see. Enforces agent-user parity in capability and context.
architecture-strategist
Use this agent when you need to analyze code changes from an architectural perspective, evaluate system design decisions, or ensure modifications align with established architectural patterns. Use ddd-architect for Domain-Driven Design modeling; use this agent for general architectural compliance review.
kieran-rails-reviewer
Use this agent when you need to review Rails code changes with an extremely high quality bar. Applies Kieran's strict Rails conventions and taste preferences. Use dhh-rails-reviewer for opinionated architectural critique; use this agent for strict convention and quality checks.
pattern-recognition-specialist
Use this agent when you need to analyze code for design patterns, anti-patterns, naming conventions, and code duplication. This agent excels at identifying architectural patterns, detecting code smells, and ensuring consistency across the codebase.
