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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01325 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00530 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00265 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00133 |
Grade A, and why
update-task-status 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Update octomux task status
Move a task through the workflow board, add notes, rename the task, or link external references.
Workflow columns
Tasks flow through these columns in order (though any transition is allowed):
| Column | When to use |
|---|---|
backlog |
Idea captured, not yet planned |
planned |
Scoped and ready to start |
in_progress |
Active work underway |
human_review |
Blocked on human review / feedback |
pr |
PR open, awaiting merge |
done |
Merged / shipped |
Moving a task to a different column
Prefer the MCP tool when available (you're in the orchestrator); otherwise fall back to the CLI.
MCP (preferred):
mcp__octomux__set_task_status({
task_id: '<task-id>',
status: '<workflow_status>',
})
CLI fallback:
octomux task-move <task-id> <workflow_status>
Examples:
// Move to human review (MCP)
mcp__octomux__set_task_status({ task_id: 'abc123', status: 'human_review' })
// Mark as planned (MCP)
mcp__octomux__set_task_status({ task_id: 'abc123', status: 'planned' })
// Mark as done after merge (MCP)
mcp__octomux__set_task_status({ task_id: 'abc123', status: 'done' })
# Move to human review with a note (CLI fallback)
octomux task-move abc123 human_review --note "PR draft ready, need design sign-off"
# Mark as planned (CLI fallback)
octomux task-move abc123 planned --note "Scoped in sprint planning"
# Mark as done after merge (CLI fallback)
octomux task-move abc123 done
Notes:
- Moving to
human_revieworplannedrequires a note explaining why — use--notewith the CLI, or mention it in your message when using the MCP tool - The move is recorded in the task activity log automatically
Renaming a task
A task's title defaults to the first 80 characters of its initial prompt, which is usually unreadable on the board. Rename it once you understand what the task is actually about.
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.
