butler

butler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zoro-jiro-san/skills-by-zoro. It costs 0 tokens per session (423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for coordinating autonomous agents and workflows, where separate agents can perform connected steps across systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build multi-agent processes such as parsing, classifying, reviewing, requesting approval, and notifying someone when a workflow finishes.
Why use it?
It helps break complex work into smaller operations and pass results between agents or respond when workflow state changes.

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

butler 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 12d 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

Butler Skill

What is Butler? Butler is a lightweight, composable orchestration framework for managing autonomous agents and workflows. It enables agents to collaborate, chain operations, and handle complex task decomposition across multiple systems. Think of it as the nervous system that connects your agents together.

Why use this skill?

  • 🔗 Agent Collaboration — Wire up multi-agent workflows seamlessly
  • ⚙️ Composable Operations — Chain actions with minimal boilerplate
  • 📡 Event-Driven — Respond to state changes across your ecosystem
  • 🚀 Production-Ready — Built for scaling autonomous systems

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

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.

butler is a skill published in the GitHub repository zoro-jiro-san/skills-by-zoro (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 423 tokens. 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.
