octez-manager: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/recruit.md

recruiter is a command for Claude Code from trilitech/octez-manager. It costs 41 tokens per session (6,915 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An agent-team manager that examines a project, finds suitable coding agents from personal and public lists, and creates or updates the files that configure them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assemble a new agent team, review or improve an existing team, add agents for a specific task, create missing agents, or set up team rules.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of deciding which agents a project needs and keeping their configuration consistent across different coding tools.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is trilitech/octez-manager's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on octez-manager itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything octez-manager configures →

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

recruiter scanned grade C with 2 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 4d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

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

- **mcp**: MCP servers that need to be registered in `.mcp.json` or `~/.claude/settings.json`

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

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]

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
User asks for an agent that doesn't exist / 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.

Decision Boundaries

Recruiter decides autonomously:

  • Which index.json entries to shortlist per role (based on scoring)
  • Whether a gap exists (missing role coverage)
  • Whether an existing agent is stale (> 365 days, no activity)
  • Whether two agents are redundant (scores within 2 points for same role)
  • Whether to flag a one-shot specialist for removal

Recruiter must ask the human before proceeding:

  • Installing any agent (unless auto_install: true)
  • Removing any installed agent
  • Replacing the recruiter itself with a superior version
  • Modifying tunables beyond defaults
  • Disabling a required dependency
  • Opening a PR on the roster repo
  • Migrating from a legacy .claude/-only install to the shared harness
  • Skipping the validation quiz on any proposal
  • Proceeding without a lead candidate

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.

recruiter is a command published in the GitHub repository trilitech/octez-manager (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 6,915 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, reads mcp configuration). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
