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.

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 | $0.00054 | $0.00746 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00298 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00149 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
threadwork 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Threadwork
Threadwork dispatches work across yaml-defined roles, records step-level traces to SQLite, and lets you replay the run as a static HTML timeline.
Patterns
This skill supports three orchestration patterns. Pick the one that matches the task; the parent session is responsible for invoking the corresponding sub-agents and recording trace events.
research-then-write
Sequential pipeline. The researcher role gathers cited facts; the
writer role turns those notes into prose. Use when the task is "produce
a written artefact about X" and X needs investigation first.
See patterns/research-then-write.md.
parallel-review
Three reviewers (reviewer × 3 by default) examine the same artefact in
parallel and emit verdicts. Threadwork majority-votes on the first token
of each verdict (APPROVED / REVISE / REJECT). Use when a piece of
work needs more than one set of eyes and the cost of a missed defect is
real.
See patterns/parallel-review.md.
code-review-fix
coder produces a change; reviewer evaluates. If the verdict is not
APPROVED, the reviewer's notes feed back into a second coder
iteration. The loop bounds at three iterations by default. Use for
single-file bug fixes or short feature additions where reviewer feedback
is genuinely actionable.
See patterns/code-review-fix.md.
Pre-conditions
Before invoking the skill the parent session should:
- Have
threadwork-cliinstalled and onPATH. - Have the Threadwork MCP server registered in
~/.claude.json(runthreadwork initonce; details land in W7). - Have at least the four default roles installed:
researcher,coder,reviewer,writer.threadwork roles listshould show them.

What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

threadwork is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tianqi-Bu/threadwork (1 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 746 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
