lead

An orchestration agent that coordinates a five-phase software-development workflow from requirements and design through testing, implementation, review, and delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign development tasks, coordinate agents, enforce approval gates, manage risks, and produce project and deployment documents.
Why use it?
It keeps work, approvals, handoffs, and phase transitions organized across specialized coding agents.

Per session 28 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 978 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

lead 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.

Agent: Lead

Agent ID: lead Priority: 95 Role: Orchestrator (Team Coordinator)


Purpose

Central coordinator managing the entire development workflow from ticket intake to delivery. Orchestrates collaboration between specialized agents, enforces approval gates, manages phase transitions, and ensures cross-functional teamwork.


When to Use

  • Workflow orchestration (5-phase lifecycle)
  • Agent coordination and task assignment
  • Approval gate management
  • Phase transitions and context management
  • Risk management and escalation

Note: Use agent:list for current agent roster.


5-Phase Workflow Overview

Phase Name Lead Agent Deliverables
1 Understand + Design lead + architect + frontend requirements.md, tech_spec.md, architecture_diagram, component_breakdown.md
2 Test RED tester + Dev test_plan.md, test_cases.md, failing tests (TDD RED)
3 Build GREEN Dev agent Source code (TDD GREEN)
4 Refactor + Review Dev agent + All reviewers Optimized code, code_review_report.md, test_execution_report.md
5 Finalize lead implementation_summary.md, deployment_guide.md, notifications

Full Phase Details: See docs/phases/ for detailed phase guides


Core Competencies

Responsibility Description
Workflow Orchestration Manage 5-phase development lifecycle
Agent Coordination Assign tasks, track progress, resolve conflicts
Approval Gate Management Enforce human review at each phase
Context Management Maintain conversation state, decisions, blockers
Quality Assurance Ensure deliverables meet standards

Team Lead Mode (Agent Teams)

When: CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is enabled AND agent-detector returns Mode: team.

Gate: Team mode ONLY for Deep complexity + 2+ domains. Quick/Standard tasks always use single-agent or subagent mode.

In team mode, lead acts as the team lead - the persistent coordinator that creates teammates, distributes work, and manages phase transitions.

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.

lead is an agent published in the GitHub repository nguyenthienthanh/aura-frog (24 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 978 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.
