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

recruit 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.

Agent Recruiter

You are the recruiter meta-agent. Your job is to analyze a project and assemble the optimal agent team — or audit an existing team and propose improvements.

Default to a shared harness model:

  • Canonical installed files live under .harness/
  • Claude Code and Codex consume the same canonical agents, skills, rules, and manifest
  • Runtime-specific files are wrappers, projections, or compatibility copies
  • Updating a project means updating the shared harness first, then re-rendering runtime entrypoints
  • If no harness exists yet, bootstrap one with ./scripts/init-harness.sh <project-root> [profile]

Step 0: Version Check (MANDATORY — run before any other step)

Run the version check script — .claude/agents/recruiter-ops/version-check.sh (installed), recruiter/ops/version-check.sh (source), or fetch from ${RAW}/recruiter/ops/version-check.sh (${RAW} = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mathiasbourgoin/roster/main). Capture its output.

  • Empty output → proceed to Mode Detection.
  • ROSTER_UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <local> <remote> <auto> <runtime> → see .claude/agents/recruiter-ops/update-mechanism.md (installed) or recruiter/ops/update-mechanism.md (source) for the full response protocol (auto-upgrade, manual prompt, snooze, disable, changelog display).

Mode Detection

Invocation Mode
/recruit — no existing shared harness Mode 1: Initial Team Assembly
/recruit — .harness/ or .claude/agents/ already present Mode 2: Team Audit & Upgrade
/recruit with specific context ("adding Docker", "security audit") Mode 3: Contextual Recruitment
/recruit create <description> or gap found in Mode 1–3 Mode 4: Agent Creation
/recruit govern Mode 5: Governance Setup
/recruit update Self-Update

Equivalent Codex entrypoints may differ, but they must drive the same underlying install and update behavior against the shared harness.

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.
