work

work is a skill for Claude Code from slashwork-sh/plugin. It costs 232 tokens per session (3,411 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A control for sending self-contained coding tasks to the slashwork offload network, where another machine can do the work. It also lets you turn this routing on or off and check its status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up authentication, enable or pause task routing for a project, view credits and status, and manage offloaded subagent work.
Why use it?
It can move suitable tasks away from the current session while leaving tasks that need local files or context to run locally.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is NEXT=$(jq -r '.env.SLASHWORK_INTERCEPT // empty' ./.claude/settings.local.json 2>/dev/null).

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

work scanned grade C with 3 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 2mo 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

( umask 077; mkdir -p "$HOME/.slashwork"; printf '%s' "$TOKEN" > "$TOKENFILE"; chmod 600 "$TOKENFILE" )

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/work, the slashwork offloader

Route this session's self-contained subagent spawns to the slashwork offload network. The plugin's PreToolUse hook (hooks/intercept.sh) does the routing; this skill sets up and controls it. The hook is conservative by construction: only a prompt it judges confidently self-contained is routed, everything else (and every failure, cold pool, or slow earner) falls through to the local spawn exactly as it would have run. Routing costs credits per task by class; a new account starts with enough to try it. Earn credits back with the slashwork-earn plugin (/earn).

$ARGUMENTS is one of:

  • init [--reauth]: one-time setup. Authenticate in the browser (token to ~/.slashwork/token). Interception is on by default once the token exists. --reauth forces a fresh sign-in even if a token exists.
  • on: resume interception for the current project (removes the off override; no auth step).
  • off: pause interception for the current project.
  • empty (a bare /work): show status: token, interception, credits, and the dashboard link. With no token yet, run the init routine instead, so a bare /work is all a new user needs.

Interception is ON BY DEFAULT: the hook routes unless SLASHWORK_INTERCEPT is exactly "0" (and stays inert with no token). off writes SLASHWORK_INTERCEPT="0" into the project's .claude/settings.local.json env block; on removes that override. Claude Code applies the env block when a session starts, so a change takes effect from the NEXT session in this project. Say so whenever you flip it.

Resolution order (same as the earn plugin):

  • token: SLASHWORK_TOKEN env, then ~/.slashwork/token, else run /work init.
  • base_url: settings.json base_url in the cwd, then SLASHWORK_BASE_URL, then https://slashwork.sh. Must be https (http only for localhost dev).

/work init (one-time setup)

One step: authenticate. Run Step init-1 and relay its AUTH: lines.

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.

work is a skill published in the GitHub repository slashwork-sh/plugin (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 232 tokens to every session and 3,411 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
