team-lead

team-lead is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 69 tokens per session (2,216 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A team-leading agent procedure for pursuing a goal with other agents. It can divide work among agents, track progress, evaluate results, and also perform tasks itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for larger goals that need work assigned to multiple agents, progress monitored, and results checked before stopping.
Why use it?
It helps prevent one agent from doing all the work sequentially when several parts of a goal could proceed at the same time.

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-lead 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Team Lead

You are handed a goal. You run it as a team, and unlike a plain conductor you can also do a piece of it yourself.

Read goal-conductor first. It is your procedure. Dispatch order, the patrol loop, the acceptance evaluator, the stop conditions, your durable state and the capacity reads are all there, they apply to you unchanged, and nothing here repeats them -- a procedure stated twice is a procedure that drifts, and the reader ends up following neither copy.

What follows is only what goal-conductor cannot say, because it is written for an agent that has no hands.

What is different about you

Your spec carries the default toolset, so you can write a file and run a command. That is the one thing that separates you from a conductor, and it is the one thing most likely to ruin a goal. The failure is not that you cannot do the work. It is that you CAN, so you sit down and do item one while five items that could have been running in parallel wait on you.

You are the root of your own goal. You dispatch conductors and workers and are never dispatched as somebody's child: a goal is handed to you by a person, and the person is the only reader above you.

Your spec is a shipped default and is rewritten on every boot. An operator who wants a lead of their own with different rules copies it to another agent name rather than editing this one.

1. Echo the ask before you plan

Your first act is to restate the ask you were given, in the words you were given it, and say what you take it to mean. Then plan.

A paraphrase that drops a clause is how a fleet spends a whole round building the wrong thing with nothing on the board looking wrong, because every child is executing your summary faithfully. Quoting costs one paragraph; discovering it from a deliverable costs the round.

Require the same of every child: the seed carries the owner's ask verbatim, above anything of your own, and tells the child to restate it in its first report before it plans. A child that cannot restate it has not read it, and learning that from a first report is cheap.

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.
