implement-team

An implementation command that coordinates several full coding-agent sessions through Agent Teams, a setup where agents work together on one task. It tracks dependencies and waits for all participating agents to finish.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a task from the conversation, optionally choosing how many agents should work on it.
Why use it?
It helps divide larger work into coordinated parts when frontend, backend, database, or other components need shared interfaces.

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 C, and why

implement-team scanned grade C with 3 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

1. **tmux installed**: Run `which tmux` — if not found, tell the user to install it (`brew install tmux` on macOS, `sudo apt install tmux` on Linux) and exit

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

2. **Agent Teams enabled**: Run `echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS` — if not `1`, tell the user to enable it in `~/.claude/settings.json` under `"env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"}` or export it

Implement Team Command

Execute implementation from conversation context using Agent Teams — full Claude Code instances coordinated through contracts in tmux split panes. All agents complete → done.

Note: Team, swarm, and loop are all execution modes. Use teams when components need to integrate and agents need to agree on interfaces (frontend + backend + database). Use swarms for independent parallel tasks. Use loops for sequential work.

Source: Conversation context + argument input + mentioned files.

Uses Claude Code's built-in Task Management System for dependency tracking and visual progress (ctrl+t).

Arguments

  • <task description> (required): What to implement
  • --agents N (optional): Number of agents (if omitted, determined automatically from scope complexity)

Instructions

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

Verify before proceeding:

  1. tmux installed: Run which tmux — if not found, tell the user to install it (brew install tmux on macOS, sudo apt install tmux on Linux) and exit
  2. Agent Teams enabled: Run echo $CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS — if not 1, tell the user to enable it in ~/.claude/settings.json under "env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS": "1"} or export it in their shell profile, and exit

Step 2: Analyze Context and Define Scope

ONLY use what's already available:

  • The user's argument input
  • Conversation history (already in context)

DO NOT:

  • Read files unless the user explicitly asks you to
  • Grep or explore the codebase
  • Use Glob to find files

Understand from context:

  • What are we building?
  • What are the major components/layers?
  • What technologies are involved?
  • What are the dependencies between components?

If the conversation context doesn't provide enough information to define integration contracts (exact API shapes, shared types, database schemas), ask the user for clarification before proceeding. You need enough detail to write exact contracts — without them, agents will diverge on interfaces.

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.

implement-team is a command published in the GitHub repository GantisStorm/essentials-claude-code (91 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 2,521 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
