mux

mux is a skill for Claude Code from WaterplanAI/agentic-config. It costs 34 tokens per session (449 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A trigger alias for a mux workflow that coordinates agent work through pimux and tmux, a terminal-session manager.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start mux-style orchestration, pass a bounded request to a child agent, wait for delivered updates, and inspect live state only when needed.
Why use it?
It keeps the parent agent focused on coordination while a spawned child handles the substantive workflow and reports progress.

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

mux 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

mux

This skill is a package-owned trigger alias for ac-workflow-mux. It is not an independent workflow definition.

Delegate workflow semantics to ../ac-workflow-mux/SKILL.md and runtime semantics to ../../extensions/pimux/docs/.

Mandatory trigger behavior

If the user explicitly triggers mux, the parent must actually run through pimux.

Required sequence:

  1. after spawn, do not poll pimux or use Bash sleep/wait loops; wait for delivered child bridge activity
  2. treat the authoritative pimux extension as the fail-closed parent control-plane lock
  3. prepare bounded handoff from the user request only
  4. spawn the authoritative pimux child before substantive analysis
  5. keep the parent control-plane only; use AskUserQuestion only for explicit user clarification
  6. after spawn, run notify-first rather than poll-first: do not call status, capture, tree, list, or open on the happy path
  7. after a child progress report, use at most one send_message if input is needed, then wait again
  8. use status / capture / tree / list / open only for explicit live inspection, suspected stall/protocol violation/failure, or the inactivity watchdog
  9. after terminal settlement, do one final pimux status verification and then advance

Do not satisfy mux requests by directly doing domain work in the parent. Do not use parent-side Read, Bash, or repo inspection to figure out the task before spawn. Do not poll pimux or use Bash sleep/wait loops; wait for delivered child activity, and treat status / capture / tree / list / open as recovery-only.

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.
