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 C, and why

connect scanned grade C 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/await.sh, scripts/list.sh, scripts/send.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

If the user wants to stop the child's listen mode: `touch ~/.claude/claude-connect/sessions/<name>/stop`. To merely detach while leaving the child listening, just stop sending prompts. To clean up a dead session's files:

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 32 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Connect — attach to a listening child session

Drive another Claude Code session that ran /listen. Communication is via files under ~/.claude/claude-connect/sessions/<name>/. All scripts referenced below live in this skill's scripts/ directory.

Finding and attaching

  • /connect with no arguments → run bash <skill-dir>/scripts/list.sh, show the user each session's name, status (LISTENING / WORKING / STALE), working directory, and summary preview, then ask which to attach to. If exactly one is LISTENING, suggest it.
  • /connect <name> (or after the user picks) → read ~/.claude/claude-connect/sessions/<name>/summary.md and meta.json, present the child's summary to the user, and remember <name> as the connected session for the rest of this conversation. Warn (but still attach) if the session looks STALE.
  • /connect <name> <prompt...> → attach as above, then immediately send the rest of the arguments as the first prompt.

Sending a prompt and reading the reply

When the user asks you to send something to the child (e.g. "ask it to run the tests", "tell it to refactor X"):

  1. Write the prompt to a temp file (use the scratchpad dir), phrased as a clear standalone instruction — the child has its own context but none of this conversation's.
  2. NNN=$(bash <skill-dir>/scripts/send.sh <name> <prompt-file>) — prints the sequence number.
  3. bash <skill-dir>/scripts/await.sh <name> $NNN with the Bash timeout parameter set to 600000. It prints one of:
    • === REPLY NNN === + body → show the child's reply to the user (quote it substantially, don't over-compress; make clear it's the child speaking).
    • === TIMEOUT (state: working) === → the child is still working; run await.sh again. Keep re-running while state is working unless the user interrupts.
    • === CHILD NOT LISTENING === → the child session's heartbeat went stale (its user may have interrupted it or closed the session). Tell the user; the prompt file stays queued and the child will pick it up if /listen is resumed there.

What ships with it

3 files 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.

connect is a skill published in the GitHub repository PatrickJaiin/claude-code-connect (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 638 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
