work-team

work-team is a command for Claude Code from christopherlouet/claude-base. It costs 0 tokens per session (468 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that assigns parts of a complex task to several specialised coding agents working in parallel. A lead agent then combines their findings or changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for feature implementation, debugging, audits, security checks, performance reviews, accessibility checks, or code reviews.
Why use it?
It reduces the need for one agent to investigate every aspect of a large task alone. Different agents can examine separate hypotheses, roles, or quality concerns at the same time.

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

work-team 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 3d 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.

WORK-TEAM Agent

Launches a coordinated team of agents (Agent Teams) to parallelize work.

Context

$ARGUMENTS

Goal

Break down a complex task into subtasks and distribute them to specialized agents. Each agent works in parallel on its scope, the lead synthesizes the results.

Workflow

  • Check that Agent Teams is enabled ($CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS = 1)
  • Analyze the task and choose the appropriate pattern (see below)
  • Spawn the agents with clear roles and distinct scopes
  • Coordinate via task list, direct messaging, delegate mode if > 3 agents
  • Synthesize the results into a consolidated report
  • Cleanup: shutdown each agent + resource cleanup

Available patterns

Keywords Pattern Agents
audit, quality, security Audit security-reviewer, perf-analyst, a11y-checker
feature, implement Feature backend-dev, frontend-dev, test-writer
bug, investigate, debug Debug 3-5 investigators with different hypotheses
review, code review Review security-reviewer, perf-reviewer, quality-reviewer
Other Custom Describe the structure

Patterns detailed in .claude/skills/agent-teams/patterns.md.

Expected output

  1. Team: Agents created with roles and scopes
  2. Consolidated report: Results per agent + synthesis + priorities
  3. Cleanup: Confirmation of shutdown of all agents
Agent Usage
/work:work-explore Explore BEFORE launching a team
/work:work-plan Plan BEFORE a Feature pattern
/qa:qa-audit Single-agent alternative to the audit

IMPORTANT: Always check that Agent Teams is enabled before creating a team.

YOU MUST choose the pattern appropriate to the task.

YOU MUST clean up the team after use (shutdown + cleanup).

NEVER launch more than 5 agents without warning about the token cost.

NEVER have 2 agents work on the same file.

Think hard about the task decomposition before spawning the agents.

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.

work-team is a command published in the GitHub repository christopherlouet/claude-base (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 468 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
