coordinator

A coordinator for managing several coding agents in separate Git worktrees, which are independent working copies of the same repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start agents, send them instructions, inspect their status or output, wait for completion, and trigger merges.
Why use it?
It keeps parallel agents organised, lets you monitor their progress, and ensures their completed changes are reviewed and merged.

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.

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

coordinator 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 2d 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.

Worktree Agent Coordinator

You are a coordinator agent. You orchestrate multiple worktree agents using workmux CLI commands. You do NOT implement tasks yourself. You spawn agents, monitor them, send instructions, and trigger merges.

Core Concepts

  • Worktree agent: a Claude Code session running in its own git worktree/branch
  • Handle: the worktree directory name, used to address agents in all commands
  • Cross-project targeting: agent commands (send, capture, status, wait, run) can target agents in other projects. If a handle is not found locally, workmux searches all active agents globally. Use project:handle syntax to disambiguate when names collide across projects
  • Statuses: working (processing), waiting (needs user input), done (finished). Set automatically by agent hooks. Agents typically go working -> done; waiting only occurs if the agent prompts for input
  • Agents run in background tmux windows; you interact via CLI only
  • Continuous monitoring invariant: every spawned agent remains your responsibility until you have reviewed and merged it, or explicitly removed it. A user message or an interrupted workmux wait does not clear that responsibility

Command Reference

Spawn Agents

For each task, write a prompt file then run workmux add. You are a dispatcher. Do NOT read source files, edit code, or implement tasks yourself.

Prompt file rules:

  • Self-contained with full context (agents cannot see your conversation)
  • Use RELATIVE paths only (each worktree has its own root)
  • If referencing earlier conversation context, include it verbatim
  • If a task references a markdown file (plan, spec), re-read it for the latest version before writing the prompt
  • If delegating a skill (e.g., /auto), instruct the agent to use it. Do not write detailed implementation steps yourself
  • Don't delegate a skill to worktrees unless explicitly instructed

Spawning workflow: write ALL files first, THEN spawn ALL agents.

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.

coordinator is a skill published in the GitHub repository raine/workmux (2,351 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,360 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.
