What is devteam AGENTS.md?

A developer guide for Coding Agent Team, a command-line workspace coordinator for Git worktrees, terminal sessions, AI agents, and GitHub pull requests. A Git worktree is a separate directory where another branch can be checked out at the same time.

Use it when changing the TypeScript command-line app, worktree handling, terminal sessions, AI-agent coordination, or pull-request integration.

It explains how the project organizes main branches, feature branches, and archived work, along with its code structure and technology choices. This helps agents navigate multi-project development workflows.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.04165	$0.04165
Opus 5.5	$0.01666	$0.01666
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00833	$0.00833
Haiku 4.5	$0.00417	$0.00417

Security

Grade A, and why

devteam AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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.

Project Overview

A CLI tool that coordinates git worktrees, tmux sessions, AI agents (Claude/Gemini), and GitHub PR state across one or more projects. It is more than a worktree manager — it is a workspace coordinator for multi-repo AI-assisted development.

Architecture

Tech Stack

Runtime: Node.js 18+ (ESM modules)
Framework: Ink (React for CLI)
Language: TypeScript with strict mode
Testing: Jest with ts-jest
Build: tsc compiler

Core Concepts

1. Worktrees

Git worktrees allow multiple branches to be checked out simultaneously in different directories. This app manages worktrees in a structured way:

Main projects: {projects-directory}/{project-name}/
Feature branches: {projects-directory}/{project-name}-branches/{feature-name}/
Archived features: {projects-directory}/{project-name}-archived/archived-{timestamp}_{feature-name}/

The projects directory is configurable:

CLI Argument: devteam --dir /path/to/projects
Environment Variable: PROJECTS_DIR=/path/to/projects devteam
Default: Current working directory

2. Tmux Sessions

Each worktree gets associated tmux sessions:

Main session: dev-{project}-{feature} (for Claude AI)
Shell session: dev-{project}-{feature}-shell (for terminal work)
Run session: dev-{project}-{feature}-run (for executing commands)

3. AI Tool Integration

The app supports multiple AI CLIs (Claude, Gemini) and monitors AI status in tmux panes:

Working: Shows "esc to interrupt"
Waiting: Shows numbered prompt (e.g., "1. ")
Idle: Shows standard prompt
Thinking: Shows thinking indicator

Tool preference is stored per-project in .devteam/config.json.

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.
