What is Fireteam CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for Fireteam, a file-based way to coordinate groups of AI agents using Markdown files, shell scripts, and an optional dashboard.

Use them when maintaining Fireteam, changing its file structure, editing its prompts, or updating its command-line tools and dashboard.

They give coding agents the project’s constraints and design history, helping them avoid breaking portable commands, existing templates, or required 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	$0.01137	$0.01137
Opus 5	$0.00568	$0.00568
Sonnet 5	$0.00227	$0.00227
Haiku 4.5	$0.00114	$0.00114

Security

Grade A, and why

Fireteam 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to Fireteam AGENTS.md — 5 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Agent Instructions for Maintaining Fireteam

Read HISTORY.md first. It contains the full design evolution and WHY every decision was made.

What This Repo Is

Fireteam is a file-system-native protocol for coordinating AI agent squads. No server, no database, no dependencies — just markdown files. This is the boilerplate repo that users copy into their projects.

Critical Constraints

ZERO DEPENDENCIES. The .fireteam/ folder works with a text editor. The CLI needs only bash. The dashboard needs only Python 3.6+ stdlib. Do not add npm, pip, or any package manager.
PORTABLE BASH. The CLI must work on macOS AND Linux. Use the sedi() wrapper for sed. Do not use grep -P (Perl regex), readlink -f (not on macOS), or GNU-specific flags.
BACKWARD COMPATIBLE TEMPLATES. Thousands of projects may use these templates. Adding fields is safe. Renaming or removing fields breaks existing projects.
THE THREE PROMPTS ARE LOAD-BEARING. START_MISSION.md, RESUME_AGENT.md, and the onboarding prompt each have a specific multi-step process. Every step exists for a reason documented in HISTORY.md. Do not simplify them without understanding the rationale.

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.
