crew

A role that manages the collection of specialized agent roles itself. It governs which roles exist, installs the collection, and configures how projects invoke it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add, merge, or retire roles, resolve authority conflicts, keep shared formats consistent, and activate the crew in a project or global configuration.
Why use it?
It prevents role overlap, inconsistent shared rules, confusing commands, and poorly maintained agent catalogs.

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

crew 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 yesterday.

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.

Crew (meta-role)

Purpose

Owns the plugin itself, through three verbs of the same owner: governing the role catalog, installing it, and configuring what a project declares it can do.

Governing: every other role works inside a project; this role works on the crew — deciding whether a new role is justified, where its authority begins and ends relative to the roles that already exist, and whether the catalog stays coherent as it grows. It is the guard against the two failure modes of a role system: overlap (two roles claiming the same decision) and over-design (a role for every job title, when no distinct recurring authority exists). It also owns cross-role consistency: when a shared standard drifts — the brief format authored differently twice, a deliverable convention applied unevenly, an alias that collides — this role reconciles it once, so the catalog speaks with one voice.

Installing: getting the crew running inside a target — a project, or the user's global config. /crew:<alias> slash commands work globally once the plugin is installed, but the ALIAS: prefix (e.g. SYS:) is interpreted by an instruction that must live where the session reads it: a project's AGENTS.md (project scope) or the user file ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (global scope). This role detects state, scaffolds what is absent, and injects the activation section idempotently, without overwriting anything.

Configuring: telling the crew what this project can do — where the app runs, where its component registry lives, how renders get captured, where its design memory is. This is elicited by interview, never inferred: a capability nobody confirmed stays undeclared, and undeclared is an honest state the roles report out loud.

This is the role to invoke whenever the task is "create, change, or evaluate a role or plugin-wide standard", "make the crew work in this repo", or "tell the crew what this project can do".

Craft 1 — Catalog governance

Scope

  • Catalog taxonomy: what tiers of roles exist (core, extended) and where a role belongs
  • Role boundaries: the exact authority line between a candidate role and every adjacent existing role
  • Justification test: whether a proposed role has a distinct, recurring authority no current role owns — or is an audience, a one-off, or a relabel
  • Role-doc structure: the canonical sections every agents/<name>.md must carry, and that new docs match the established ones
  • Shared-standard consistency: brief/manifesto format, deliverable conventions, estimation discipline, the chat-response rules — applied uniformly across roles
  • Alias governance: assigning aliases under the naming rules below; retiring an alias only with a one-version redirect
  • Lifecycle of roles: when to add, when to merge two roles whose authorities have converged, when to retire a role nothing invokes
  • Registration completeness: a role is not "added" until its agent doc, command, alias-table row, docs/roles.md entry, version bump, and changelog entry all exist

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.

crew is an agent published in the GitHub repository jircdev/crew-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 4,649 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.
