multi-agent-starter: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

multi-agent-starter CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from netwaif/multi-agent-starter. It costs 3,087 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of open-agent-hub AGENTS.md, MIT.

A set of instructions for coordinating several AI workers on software projects. It describes which worker handles planning, implementation, review, or multimodal work, and gives general rules for making decisions before coding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize multi-agent development, assign architecture or coding work, request reviews, and coordinate tasks involving code, debugging, design, or images.
Why use it?
It clarifies how to divide work between different agents and encourages checking assumptions, trade-offs, and simpler options before implementation.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is netwaif/multi-agent-starter's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on multi-agent-starter 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 multi-agent-starter 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 A, and why

multi-agent-starter 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 14d 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

77% identical to open-agent-hub AGENTS.md — 136 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.

능력 슬롯 → 워커 배정의 정본은 _shared/capability-profile.md(가변층 — 신모델 출시 시 프로필만 갱신).

중요: Orchestrator의 내부 추론은 worker가 아님. claude-main worker 호출은 별도 모델 호출이므로 승인·쿼터 대상.

운영 원칙 (Operating Principles)

Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Merge with project-specific instructions as needed.

Tradeoff: These guidelines bias toward caution over speed. For trivial tasks, use judgment.

1. Think Before Coding

Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.

Before implementing:

  • State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.
  • If multiple interpretations exist, present them - don't pick silently.
  • If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted.
  • If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.

2. Simplicity First

Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.

  • No features beyond what was asked.
  • No abstractions for single-use code.
  • No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested.
  • No error handling for impossible scenarios.
  • If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it.

Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, simplify.

3. Surgical Changes

Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess.

When editing existing code:

  • Don't "improve" adjacent code, comments, or formatting.
  • Don't refactor things that aren't broken.
  • Match existing style, even if you'd do it differently.
  • If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it - don't delete 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.
