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

cancel-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 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.

What it actually says

Cancel Team

Stop any active agent team and terminate tmux panes.

Works with all team commands: /implement-team, /plan-team.

Note: Use /cancel-team for teams, /cancel-swarm for swarms, and /cancel-loop for loops.

Instructions

  1. Call TaskList to see all tasks and their status
  2. For any tasks with status in_progress:
    • Note the task subjects (agent assignments)
    • Agents may still be running in tmux panes
  3. Terminate agent tmux panes by running: tmux kill-session -t claude-team 2>/dev/null || true
  4. Report:
    • Completed tasks: N
    • In-progress (interrupted): N
    • Pending (not started): N

If no in-progress tasks found:

  • Say "No active team found."

After Cancellation

Task progress is preserved:

  • Completed tasks remain completed
  • In-progress agent work may be partially saved (agents are full Claude Code instances)
  • Pending tasks remain pending

To check task status:

TaskList

Note

Unlike swarm cancellation (which stops lightweight subagents), team cancellation terminates full Claude Code instances running in tmux panes. Work completed by agents before cancellation is saved to disk.

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.
