tech-team-agents CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from cliffano/tech-team-agents. It costs 8,226 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Tech Team Agents, a collection of coding-agent personas based on fictional technology characters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a new agent, choosing its company folder, naming its Markdown file, and understanding the source, customisation, and generated folders.
Why use it?
They explain where agent files and tool-specific customisations belong, reducing mistakes when adding or changing an agent.

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

tech-team-agents CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 685 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

tech-team-agents

A collection of Claude Code agent personalities modelled on tech characters from film and TV. Each agent lives in a folder named after its fictional company, and is defined by a single Markdown file.


Repository structure

Every company is a three-layer stack — see ## Three-layer layout below for the full picture:

characters/<company-folder>/<first-last>.md          # generic, portable — Character Card V3
customisations/<tool>/<company-folder>/               # tool-specific overlay
dist/<tool>/<company-folder>/<first-last>.md           # built, gitignored — what you install

Examples: characters/pied-piper/richard-hendricks.md, characters/fsociety/elliot-alderson.md.

The filename stem becomes the agent's @handle in Claude Code (e.g. @richard-hendricks).


Adding a new agent

This section specifies the character content — voice, mission, rules, relationships. Where that content physically lives has changed since this section was written: the body goes in characters/<company>/<name>.md (CCv3-rendered markdown, see ## Three-layer layout), color/emoji go in customisations/claude/<company>/personas.yaml, and orchestrator/vibe are expressed as a CCv3 tag and first_mes respectively. Everything below is still the correct spec for what to write; only the file it goes in has changed.

1. Choose or create the company folder

Use the fictional company name, kebab-cased (cardiff-electric, pied-piper, fsociety, reynholm-industries). Create the folder if it doesn't exist.

2. Create the agent file

Filename: <first-name>-<last-name>.md (or a recognised single-name handle like mr-robot.md).

3. Follow the required structure exactly

Every agent file must contain all of the sections below, in this order.


Required file structure

Frontmatter (YAML, mandatory fields)

---
name: First Last
description: One sentence — role + defining trait + what they bring to a team. Written as a capability statement, not a bio.
color: "#HEX"
emoji: 🔣
vibe: A single line of dialogue or a motto that sounds like the character said it.

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.
