ulw-work

ulw-work is a skill for Codex from rlaope/oh-my-hermes. It costs 80 tokens per session (5,409 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow skill for carrying out an accepted coding plan with one owner, ordered or independent work lanes, and explicit verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide implementation into coordinated tasks, manage a bounded delivery cycle, or let one owner complete and verify the work.
Why use it?
It keeps parallel work from causing unclear ownership, conflicting changes, or unverified results.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: runs codex exec. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Good fit Use it to divide implementation into coordinated tasks, manage a bounded delivery cycle, or let one owner complete and verify the work.

About the project

oh-my-hermes is an operating layer for Hermes Agent that organizes requests into workflows for planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations, and project memory. Hermes users run these workflows through the desktop app, CLI, or messenger app, while the catalogue add-ons extend its native capabilities.

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 B, and why

ulw-work 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 today.

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.

Ultrawork

This is a Hermes-native ultrawork workflow skill.

Why This Exists

ultrawork exists to choose one-owner, ordered-dependency, or independent-frontier execution for an accepted implementation plan without letting concurrency blur ownership, verification, worker protocol, worktree isolation, or observed runtime evidence. It also carries four named internal capabilities absorbed from sibling engines: coordinated_scope (coordinated worker lanes), delivery_boundary (one bounded plan-to-PR cycle), single_owner_persistence (one owner finishes and verifies), and durable_checkpoint (durable goal ledger with checkpoints and a final gate).

Do Not Use When

  • The work touches the same files or invariants in ways that need one owner.
  • The plan is not accepted, lane boundaries are unclear, or verification commands are missing.
  • The user expects Hermes to secretly execute coding lanes instead of preparing explicit selected-runtime handoffs.
  • For a decision spike, use decision-prototype.
  • [capability:coordinated_scope] The lanes are exploratory research or QA coordination without an accepted implementation plan; frame them with the coordinated_scope capability before parallel delivery.
  • [capability:single_owner_persistence] The request is a settings-only change, one bounded edit that is explicitly low-risk and has a direct owner and verification path, or a direct answer/diagnosis; use one direct owner instead of opening parallel delivery lanes, a finish-until-done loop, or a goal ledger.
  • [capability:delivery_boundary] The user wants an open-ended feedback loop or long-horizon campaign; use loop instead.
  • [capability:single_owner_persistence] Progress must survive sessions as a ledger with multiple checkpoints and a final gate; use the durable_checkpoint capability.
  • [capability:durable_checkpoint] One concrete, already-scoped task only needs one owner to finish and verify; use the single_owner_persistence capability.
  • [capability:durable_checkpoint] The next work must be discovered or reframed repeatedly through research and feedback cycles; use loop.
  • [capability:durable_checkpoint] Acceptance criteria, current checkpoint, and final gate expectations are too vague to make a goal inspectable.

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.

ulw-work is a skill published in the GitHub repository rlaope/oh-my-hermes (1,677 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 5,409 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
