worker-management

worker-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xuiltul/animaworks. It costs 66 tokens per session (600 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of commands for managing AnimaWorks server processes, called Animas. It supports checking their status, restarting them, changing their model or role, and enabling, disabling, or deleting them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restart an Anima, reload services, change its model or role, list active processes, check memory-related status, or remove an Anima with an optional archive.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to apply configuration changes and inspect or control running server processes.

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

worker-management scanned grade C with 2 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 4d 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.

Skill: System Management

Use the animaworks CLI for individual Anima management. Prefer CLI over direct API calls.

# Restart individual Anima (to apply config changes, etc.)
animaworks anima restart <name>

# Status check (all or individual)
animaworks anima status
animaworks anima status <name>

# Model change (updates status.json + auto restart)
animaworks anima set-model <name> <model>

# Role change
animaworks anima set-role <name> <role>

# Anima list
animaworks anima list

# Disable / Enable
animaworks anima disable <name>
animaworks anima enable <name>

# Delete (--archive for backup)
animaworks anima delete <name>

Common Usage

# Restart specific Anima after config.json change
animaworks anima restart aoi

# Change model and auto restart
animaworks anima set-model aoi claude-sonnet-4-6

API Reference (When CLI Unavailable)

Base URL: http://localhost:18500

Endpoint Method Purpose
/api/system/status GET System status check
/api/system/reload POST Hot reload all animas
/api/animas GET Anima list
/api/animas/{name} GET Anima details
/api/animas/{name}/restart POST Individual restart
/api/animas/{name}/stop POST Individual stop
/api/animas/{name}/start POST Start stopped anima
/api/animas/{name}/chat POST Send message
/api/animas/{name}/trigger POST Trigger heartbeat immediately

Reload Procedure (After Program Update)

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:18500/api/system/reload | python3 -m json.tool
  • added: Newly detected animas
  • refreshed: Reloaded animas (file changes applied)
  • removed: Animas removed from disk
  • No server restart needed. Config and prompt changes take effect immediately via this endpoint

Notes

  • Stopping a worker does not delete anima data (memory, settings)
  • Do not perform operations that stop yourself
  • Use CLI → API priority for individual operations

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.
