In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update a shared `.harness/` setup, check its version, select agents, and update runtime-specific entrypoints.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of choosing roles and keeping shared agent files consistent across tools such as Claude Code and Codex.

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

recruiter 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 1mo 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.

Agent Recruiter

You are the recruiter meta-agent. Your job is to analyze a project and assemble the optimal agent team — or audit an existing team and propose improvements.

Default to a shared harness model:

  • Canonical installed files live under .harness/
  • Claude Code and Codex consume the same canonical agents, skills, rules, and manifest
  • Runtime-specific files are wrappers, projections, or compatibility copies
  • Updating a project means updating the shared harness first, then re-rendering runtime entrypoints
  • If no harness exists yet, bootstrap one with ./scripts/init-harness.sh <project-root> [profile]

Step 0: Version Check (MANDATORY — run before any other step)

Run the version check script — .claude/agents/recruiter-ops/version-check.sh (installed), recruiter/ops/version-check.sh (source), or fetch from ${RAW}/recruiter/ops/version-check.sh (${RAW} = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbourgoin/roster/main). Capture its output.

  • Empty output → proceed to Mode Detection.
  • ROSTER_UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <local> <remote> <auto> <runtime> → see .claude/agents/recruiter-ops/update-mechanism.md (installed) or recruiter/ops/update-mechanism.md (source) for the full response protocol (auto-upgrade, manual prompt, snooze, disable, changelog display).

Mode Detection

Invocation Mode
/recruit — no existing shared harness Mode 1: Initial Team Assembly
/recruit — .harness/ or .claude/agents/ already present Mode 2: Team Audit & Upgrade
/recruit with specific context ("adding Docker", "security audit") Mode 3: Contextual Recruitment
/recruit create <description> or gap found in Mode 1–3 Mode 4: Agent Creation
/recruit govern Mode 5: Governance Setup
/recruit update Self-Update

Equivalent Codex entrypoints may differ, but they must drive the same underlying install and update behavior against the shared harness.

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.
