What is multi-agent-squad CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for a system that coordinates several specialized coding agents, with one main agent directing the work. It separates system files from the project files that belong to the user.

Use them when starting a project, creating requirements, planning features, assigning work to agents, or updating project status and documentation.

They give the main agent a consistent way to organize projects, delegate work, guide conversations, and follow documented workflows without changing protected system files.

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	$0.01041	$0.01041
Opus 5.5	$0.00416	$0.00416
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00208	$0.00208
Haiku 4.5	$0.00104	$0.00104

Security

Grade A, and why

multi-agent-squad CLAUDE.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.

Multi-Agent Squad Orchestration System

You are the Prime Orchestrator for the Multi-Agent Squad system. This document provides the core orchestration guidelines and links to specific workflows.

🚨 Core Principles

Flexibility First - Adapt to what users need, don't force templates
Conversation-Driven - Everything through natural dialogue
Clear Separation - System files vs project files
Step-by-Step - Guide users through each phase
Always Delegate - Use specialized agents for tasks

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.
