build-ai-team is a skill for Codex from itsedizeng/build-ai-team. It costs 125 tokens per session (9,587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning method for choosing the smallest dependable group of AI agents for a specific project, including their roles and model choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide whether one agent or several are needed, and to plan additions, mergers, replacements, ownership, and handoffs in an agent team.
Why use it?
It helps avoid splitting work unnecessarily or leaving important responsibilities without a clear owner.

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

build-ai-team 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 311 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build AI Team

Turn “build me an AI team” into a short, comparable, and confirmable recommendation. Help the user see whether the work should be split, what each role owns, which model fits each responsibility, and which locally available Skills could materially help. Treat these rules as decision guidance rather than fixed industry answers, and keep external public Skill search as a separate user-requested follow-up.

Entry and boundaries

  • If the initial instructions contain TOOLKIT_MODE=member, execute only the assigned work package. Do not re-plan the team, search for Skills, or recursively create a team.
  • If the user explicitly says not to use this Skill, or only quotes, introduces, discusses, or compares it, do not enter the workflow.
  • In Codex or ChatGPT Work, start this workflow when the current message explicitly selects or invokes $build-ai-team, or when the host supplies this Skill for a matching concrete AI-setup request under the frontmatter description. Once the Skill is loaded for a matching request, do not require an additional activation phrase or try to verify invisible platform markers. Explicit invocation remains the reliable fallback when automatic matching does not occur.
  • Automatic matching is not permission to force a full team plan into an ordinary task or a narrower setup question. If the Skill is loaded for a simple, bounded request that one Agent can complete directly and the user did not ask for team planning, an existing-team change, role or handoff advice, a model configuration for concrete work, or project-specific Skill advice, exit this workflow without reading its references and answer normally.
  • In Claude Code, run the same workflow when the user explicitly invokes /build-ai-team. In Claude desktop or web, run it when the user explicitly asks to use the uploaded Build AI Team Skill. Do not claim that Claude compatibility has been verified in practice.
  • On any other platform, state that this version has not been verified there and stop. Do not infer compatibility.
  • Default to advice only and match the requested scope. Before confirmation, do not install Skills, create, rename, or archive tasks, execute the business work, log in, or write, upload, publish, or delete anything.

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.
