bringing-coworker

bringing-coworker is a skill for Claude Code from wayne930242/straw-boss. It costs 51 tokens per session (469 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for bringing a second interactive coding agent into the same work session and exact working copy. It assigns that coworker a separate, clearly defined task or review area.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for inviting a coworker agent, assigning review or disjoint implementation work, and directing the user to the coworker's session.
Why use it?
It provides a second agent's input without overlapping its file changes with the current worker. This helps with independent reviews or parallel work when another perspective is needed.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

bringing-coworker 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 10d 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

Bring a coworker

1. Scope the second opinion

Give the coworker one outcome that can run beside your current task. Default to review-only. A writing task names a disjoint repo-relative --writable-path scope.

Complete when the task is independently useful and its write scope is disjoint.

2. Start beside you

Use your canonical instruction path from the dispatch contract:

uv run --script "$HOME/.straw-boss/bin/run-straw-boss-script.py" \
  --origin-root "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$PWD}" --prefer-installed \
  --script dispatch-coworker.py -- \
  --parent-instruction-path <your-instruction-path> \
  --slug <unique-slug> [--name <short-name>] \
  --agent-kind claude|codex --task "<user requirement and integrated context>" \
  [--writable-path <repo-relative-path>]...

The command authenticates your session, opens the coworker in this tab and worktree, injects its contract, and confirms delivery. Omit --name for a <app>-coworker handle derived automatically. Complete when it returns the coworker's pane and instruction path.

3. Work with the user

Point the user to the coworker pane. The coworker and user decide feedback and choose the specification, design, implementation, and the verification method inside the anchor you scoped for it; continue on your disjoint scope.

Complete when the coworker reports done or failed; parent and root coordinator receive that terminal event automatically.

4. Integrate and close

Review the reported result, integrate the conclusion, close only the coworker pane, then run wrap-up-task.py --app <app> --slug <slug>. The shared tab and your own instruction remain active.

Complete when the pane is closed and the coworker instruction is archived.

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.
