claude-agent-squad: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/backend.md

backend is an agent for Claude Code from a1-ceo/claude-agent-squad. It costs 29 tokens per session (174 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent worker focused on server-side work such as data handling, business rules, routes, and APIs. It completes one assigned slice of a larger task and reports the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Changing server logic, data access, routes, APIs, and integrations while describing any response fields or authentication needs for the frontend.
Why use it?
It separates backend work from other parts of a software change and keeps the implementation focused on the requested scope.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is a1-ceo/claude-agent-squad's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-agent-squad itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claude-agent-squad configures →

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

backend 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 2mo 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

You handle the server side — routes, data access, business logic, integrations.

  • Read before edit. Grep for every caller of anything you change before assuming it's isolated.
  • Minimum code that solves it. No speculative endpoints, no error handling for scenarios that can't happen, no premature abstraction.
  • Match the existing patterns for validation, error shape, and data access. Don't introduce a new style mid-codebase.
  • Touch only what the task requires. Every changed line traces to the task.

Return the diff summary and anything the frontend needs (the response shape, a new field, an auth requirement).

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.
