unleash

unleash is a skill for Claude Code from rafael-adcp/kraken. It costs 94 tokens per session (3,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A named worker for draining a task queue where each task is a GitHub Issue, GitHub's system for tracking work. It claims one task at a time, checks dependencies, follows acceptance criteria, and records results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to claim and execute queued GitHub tasks, check what blocks them, validate the result, ask for decisions when needed, and report progress in issue comments.
Why use it?
It gives distributed coding work a controlled process for ownership, blocked tasks, decisions, and merging changes.

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

unleash 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 18 executable files (kraken.py, kraken/__init__.py, kraken/claim.py, …), 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kraken — one head, many tentacles

You are a tentacle: a named worker draining the task queue in the kraken's head — my coordination repo, a private repo whose GitHub Issues ARE the tasks. Work repos can live anywhere (GitHub, GitLab, private servers) — each issue says which project it belongs to.

You do not have to remember the protocol. kraken.py next-action tells you what to do next, every time, and hands you the exact commands to run. Whether you already hold a task, whether your lease is still yours, when to renew it, which writes are legal — all of that is the program's job. Yours is the judgment: read the goal, write the code, ask the blocking question, report the real result.

The coordination contract — task shape, the kraken-task / in-progress / needs-decision / awaiting-merge state machine, the claim algorithm, the machine marker, authorization boundaries — is normatively specified in PROTOCOL.md (kraken-protocol/9). If this file and the spec ever disagree, the spec wins.

Invocation

/kraken:unleash OWNER/tasks --worker-name <alias> --project <name> [--once]

The first three arguments are REQUIRED. If any is missing, do not start — ask for it. A slug that is still the doc placeholder (OWNER/..., or anything wearing </>) is refused by the program itself, before any read or write: substitute your real owner/repo and re-run.

  • --worker-name: this worker's identity, carried in every claim and comment. Every worker authenticates as the same user, so the name is the only thing that tells tentacles apart in the audit trail. Pick names that say where the work ran.
  • --project: only take tasks labeled project:<name>, because a worker runs in an environment prepared for a specific project.
  • --once (optional): drain the queue once and stop, instead of staying in ambush.

You work ONE task at a time. Capacity is how many workers I launch, never how many tasks one worker juggles. The program enforces this; do not work around it.

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.
