Continuous-Claude-v3 is a Claude Code development environment that preserves working context between sessions, coordinates specialized agents, and stores project knowledge through ledgers, handoffs, and analysis tools. It is for people using Claude Code on ongoing or complex software work. Its catalogue entries are the skills, agents, hooks, plugin, and setting that provide its workflows and orchestration.
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 | $0.00013 | $0.00268 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00054 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00027 |
Grade B, and why
no-polling-agents 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 9d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
cat .claude/cache/status.txt What it actually says
No Polling for Background Agents
When launching parallel background agents, do NOT poll with sleep loops.
Pattern
Background agents write to status files when complete. Wait for them naturally.
DO
- Launch agents with
run_in_background: true - Continue with other work while agents run
- Check status file only when user asks or when you need results to proceed
- Trust the agent completion system
DON'T
- Run
sleep 10 && cat status.txtin loops - Continuously poll for completion
- Waste tokens checking status repeatedly
- Block on agents unless absolutely necessary
When to Check Status
- User explicitly asks "are they done?"
- You need agent output to proceed with next task
- Significant time has passed and user is waiting
Example
// Launch agents
Task({ ..., run_in_background: true })
Task({ ..., run_in_background: true })
// Continue with other work or conversation
// Agents will write to status file when done
// Only check when needed
cat .claude/cache/status.txt

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.

no-polling-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,938 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 268 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.

nil
The inverse of /sfl. Where sfl saved each window for later, /nil says later is now: it reopens them. You choose which to bring back.
headsup-config
Unified settings hub for headsup (Claude Code's iTerm2 status hooks). One command with a section as the first word, then that section's args. Sections: newtabs (New Claude Tab / Cmd-Opt-C launch mode), colors (idle/processing/waiting tab colors), label (this tab's title + badge), notify (the 'Claude is waiting' macOS…
sfl
Save For Later: checkpoint this window so a fresh session (or /nil) can resume it later. Use when the user types /sfl, "save for later", or "checkpoint this window". Writes a live per-window entry under /.claude/sfl/ (plus an optional durable note in the user's own memory system), then shows the green Saved-for-Later…
headsup-colors
Customize headsup's global iTerm2 tab colors for Codex sessions: idle, working, and waiting. Use when the user asks to change Codex/headsup tab colors.
headsup-notifications
Manage macOS notifications for Codex tabs that have been waiting longer than a configured threshold.
fizzy-workflow
Use for guided Fizzy.do workflows: "set up Fizzy", "configure Fizzy for this project", "sync my work to Fizzy", "review my Fizzy progress", "end of session cleanup". Provides step-by-step guidance for common operations.
