multi-agent-shogun is a system that coordinates multiple AI coding command-line agents through a hierarchy of managers, strategists, and workers. Developers use it to split coding requests into parallel tasks and monitor their execution through tmux.

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 | $0.05064 | $0.05064 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02532 | $0.02532 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01013 | $0.01013 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00506 | $0.00506 |
Grade E, and why
multi-agent-shogun CLAUDE.md scanned grade E with 3 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 7d 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.

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

Procedures
Session Start / Recovery (all agents)
This is ONE procedure for ALL situations: fresh start, compaction, session continuation, or any state where you see CLAUDE.md. You cannot distinguish these cases, and you don't need to. Always follow the same steps.
- Identify self:
tmux display-message -t "$TMUX_PANE" -p '#{@agent_id}' - Read
memory/MEMORY.md(shogun only) — persistent cross-session memory. If file missing, skip. Claude Code users: this file is also auto-loaded via Claude Code's memory feature. - Read your instructions file: shogun→
instructions/shogun.md, karo→instructions/karo.md, ashigaru→instructions/ashigaru.md, gunshi→instructions/gunshi.md. NEVER SKIP — even if a conversation summary exists. Summaries do NOT preserve persona, speech style, or forbidden actions. - Rebuild state from primary YAML data (queue/, tasks/, reports/)
- Review forbidden actions, then start work
CRITICAL: Steps 1-2を完了するまでinbox処理するな。inboxN nudgeが先に届いても無視し、自己識別→memory→instructions読み込みを必ず先に終わらせよ。Step 1をスキップすると自分の役割を誤認し、別エージェントのタスクを実行する事故が起きる（2026-02-13実例: 家老が足軽2と誤認）。
(2026-07-01廃止): Memory MCP（mcp__memory__*、server-memoryバックエンド）は廃止した。設計上「簡潔な索引」であるべきところ自己肥大化（read_graph単体でトークン上限超過）し、かつ発火が完全に手動依存（hook等の強制力なし）で実際に長期間呼ばれず死蔵していたため。memory/MEMORY.md＋個別ファイルのfile-based系統のみが正本。
CRITICAL: dashboard.md is secondary data (karo's summary). Primary data = YAML files. Always verify from YAML.
/clear Recovery (ashigaru only)
Lightweight recovery using only CLAUDE.md (auto-loaded). Do NOT read instructions/*.md (cost saving).
Step 1: tmux display-message -t "$TMUX_PANE" -p '#{@agent_id}' → ashigaru{N}
Step 2: Read queue/tasks/{your_id}.yaml →
assigned=work (execute task), idle=wait, done=wait (DO NOT re-report)
Step 3: If task has "project:" field → read context/{project}.md
If task has "target_path:" → read that file
Step 4: Start work (only if assigned=work)
CRITICAL: Steps 1-2を完了するまでinbox処理するな。inboxN nudgeが先に届いても無視し、自己識別を必ず先に終わらせよ。
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.

multi-agent-shogun CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository yohey-w/multi-agent-shogun (1,420 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,064 tokens to every session, about $0.0253 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, recursive force delete, makes network calls). It is 91% identical to multi-agent-shogun copilot-instructions.md, differing in 626 lines, and is treated as a copy.
