opc-architecture

opc-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 8 tokens per session (682 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An explanation of OPC, an orchestration layer that extends Claude Code with hooks, skills, scripts, and a database. It describes how one Claude Code process starts independent child agents and tracks their work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn how OPC launches agents, responds to Claude Code events, coordinates state, and differs from Claude Code itself.
Why use it?
It makes the system's moving parts and agent relationships easier to understand when diagnosing or designing workflows.

About the project

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.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

opc-architecture scanned grade A 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.

OPC Architecture Understanding

OPC (Orchestrated Parallel Claude) extends Claude Code - it does NOT replace it.

Core Concept

Claude Code CLI is the execution engine. OPC adds orchestration via:

  • Hooks - Intercept Claude Code events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, etc.)
  • Skills - Load prompts into Claude Code
  • Scripts - Called by hooks/skills for coordination
  • Database - Store state between Claude Code instances

How Agents Work

When you spawn an agent:

  1. Main Claude Code instance (your terminal) runs hook on Task tool
  2. Hook calls subprocess.Popen(["claude", "-p", "prompt"])
  3. A NEW Claude Code instance spawns as child process
  4. Child runs independently, reads/writes to coordination DB
  5. Parent tracks child via PID in DB
$ claude                         ← Main Claude Code (your terminal)
    ↓ Task tool triggers hook
    ↓ subprocess.Popen(["claude", "-p", "..."])
        ├── claude -p "research..."   ← Child agent 1
        ├── claude -p "implement..."  ← Child agent 2
        └── claude -p "test..."       ← Child agent 3

What OPC Is NOT

  • OPC is NOT a separate application
  • OPC does NOT run without Claude Code
  • OPC does NOT intercept Claude API calls directly
  • OPC does NOT modify Claude Code's internal behavior

What OPC IS

  • OPC IS hooks that Claude Code loads from .claude/hooks/
  • OPC IS skills that Claude Code loads from .claude/skills/
  • OPC IS scripts that hooks/skills call for coordination
  • OPC IS a database backend for state across Claude Code instances

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.

opc-architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3,938 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 682 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
