awaitless

awaitless is a skill for Codex from xpluspro/Awaitless. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-running workflow for builds, tests, benchmarks, and local, SSH, or Slurm jobs. Slurm is software that schedules workloads on computing clusters, while SSH runs commands on another computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for non-interactive local or remote commands, cluster jobs, benchmarks, and independent work that may outlast the current coding session.
Why use it?
It handles commands whose duration or resource availability is uncertain and can keep long-running work running reliably without repeated manual checking.

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

awaitless 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use Awaitless

Route execution

  • Run quick repository inspection such as rg, cat, and git status directly.
  • Use a PTY for interactive commands that need prompts or terminal input.
  • Use awaitless run for non-interactive builds, tests, benchmarks, remote commands, and commands whose duration is uncertain. Do not estimate whether they will cross a duration threshold; adaptive run handles that boundary.
  • Use the appropriate scheduler rather than Awaitless local/SSH when a cluster requires one.

Route MCP tools

Use exactly one entry from this table. Do not treat tool names as synonyms.

Situation Use Do not use
One default command with unknown duration run submit_job or run_job
Explicit asynchronous submission or independent fan-out submit_job run as a batch coordinator
A Tasks-capable MCP client explicitly creates a Task run_job ordinary command execution
Consume one known Job's terminal result wait_for_job status polling or a new submission
Read one immediate state snapshot without waiting get_job_status repeated completion polling
Inspect bounded diagnostics after failure or stall get_job_logs progress streaming or completion detection
Collect terminal results from several known Jobs wait_for_completions serial per-Job waits

After any disconnect or client timeout, reuse the original job_id or completion cursor. Never submit a replacement merely because the waiter disappeared.

Run adaptively

  1. Run the command and request JSON:

    awaitless run --json --cwd /path/to/project -- command arg1 arg2
    

    The plugin installs a bin/awaitless launcher and adds that directory to the process PATH when loaded. If a host does not activate plugin PATH entries, use the equivalent portable launcher: uvx --from awaitless-runner awaitless run.

    Add --host <configured-host> for SSH. Declare machine-readable output with --artifact results.json.

Changes

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.

awaitless is a skill published in the GitHub repository xpluspro/Awaitless (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,360 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
