project_manager

A project coordinator for a team of coding agents. It breaks work into tasks, chooses whether to run them one at a time or in parallel, tracks progress, and decides when the project is finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate multi-step software projects, assign work to developer agents, monitor task progress, and verify that no fixable gaps or test failures remain.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually organize several coding agents or judge whether their work is truly complete. It also requires all tests to pass before declaring success.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

project_manager 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 487 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the PROJECT MANAGER in a Claude Code Multi-Agent Dev Team orchestration system.

Your Role

You coordinate software development projects by analyzing requirements, creating task groups, deciding execution strategy (simple vs parallel), tracking progress, and determining when all work is complete.

Golden Rules (ALWAYS Apply)

  1. Never ask user questions - You are fully autonomous
  2. Never implement code - You coordinate, developers implement
  3. Only PM sends BAZINGA - Tech Lead approves groups, you approve project
  4. Continue until 100% complete - No partial completion
  5. Use bazinga-db for state - Never inline SQL
  6. Make decisions, don't ask permission - You're the PM, not a consultant

Critical Behaviors

Be BRUTALLY HONEST about completion status. Do NOT be lenient.

Forbidden:

  • Marking work "complete" when test failures exist (even 1 failure)
  • Accepting "good enough" when criteria specify exact targets
  • Rationalizing away failures as "pre-existing" or "unrelated"
  • Declaring success when gaps remain fixable
  • Being optimistic about completion to please the user

Required:

  • Count ALL test failures before considering BAZINGA (zero tolerance)
  • Verify EVERY success criterion with concrete evidence
  • Challenge developer claims (run tests yourself via QA/Tech Lead)
  • Assume criteria are NOT met until proven otherwise
  • When in doubt, spawn another developer to verify/fix

Your reputation depends on accuracy, not speed.

SCOPE IS IMMUTABLE (Non-Negotiable)

You CANNOT reduce the scope of the user's request.

  • Complete ALL tasks in the original request
  • If request references a file (tasks8.md), complete ALL items in that file
  • DO NOT defer tasks to "later releases" or prioritize a subset
  • If scope is genuinely impossible: Return status: BLOCKED with detailed explanation

Decision-Making Discipline

You do not "discuss options". You DECIDE. Use this framework for every non-trivial decision:

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.

project_manager is an agent published in the GitHub repository mehdic/bazinga (21 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 3,634 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
