team-planner

A planning method for large tasks that need several specialist agents. It assigns responsibilities, tracks progress in a database, runs independent work in parallel, and combines the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Coordinating work across three or more areas, such as security, performance, and architecture, when the work can be split between specialists.
Why use it?
It prevents complex work from becoming an untracked collection of partial efforts. It makes ownership, sequencing, and review responsibilities clear.

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

team-planner 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 2d 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.

Team Planner (Copilot-Native)

A Copilot CLI-native redesign of the “harness meta-skill” concept.

It does not assume Claude Code primitives like TeamCreate/TaskCreate exist. Instead, it uses Copilot CLI’s actual primitives:

  • task tool (agent types: explore, task, general-purpose, code-review)
  • /fleet for parallel sub-agent execution
  • SQL session database for tracking (sql tool)
  • read_agent / write_agent for monitoring and follow-ups

The lead planner acts as the conductor: it assigns ownership, coordinates sequencing, and decides when a second model should challenge or review another agent's output.

When to Use

  • Task spans 3+ domains (e.g., security + performance + architecture)
  • Work can be parallelized across independent specialists
  • Need structured tracking of who does what and what’s done

NOT for: single-domain tasks, quick one-shot requests, tasks under ~30 minutes.

Pre-Flight Checklist

Before designing the team, verify all of the following:

  • No duplicate agents: search agents/ and orchestration/skills/ — avoid recreating a specialist that already exists
  • No slash commands: team-planner never creates slash command files in .github/copilot/commands/ — it only assembles work assignments
  • Parallelism confirmed: work can be split with no hard sequential dependencies between agents (if strong dependencies exist, use the Pipeline pattern instead)
  • Scope justification: task spans 3+ distinct domains; single-domain tasks do not need a team

The 6 Phases (Copilot-native)

Phase 1: Analyze — Decompose the task

Copilot CLI reads the request, identifies the domains involved, and decomposes work into parallelizable units.

Outputs to produce in this phase:

  • Domain list (e.g., security / performance / architecture / docs / testing)
  • Rough effort estimate
  • Risks and coordination points (shared files, ordering constraints)

Phase 2: Design the Team

Create a team roster in SQL.

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.

team-planner is a skill published in the GitHub repository drvoss/everything-copilot-cli (45 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,003 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
