When your agent uses it

  • Coordinating Codex and Claude Code subscriptions
  • Collaboration phases
  • Helper admission

Example prompts

  • “/multi-frontier-desktop”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Connect subscriptions through their own CLI sign-in flow. Use codex login
  2. Read provider status through the typed Desktop host/preload/IPC operations.
  3. Present only provider-reported plan and usage fields. Missing data is “Not
  4. Treat account identity and provider raw payloads as private. They do not

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be0d784. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • codex
    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Multi Frontier Desktop loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 805 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 805 words (~1,583 tokens).

“Multi-Frontier is a Desktop-only, local Code Agents workflow with exactly two subscription-native participants: Codex through ChatGPT and Claude Code through Claude. Electron main owns every privileged operation, durable state transition, provider process, and write lease. The renderer is presentation and…”
