ct-lead

ct-lead is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kryptobaseddev/cleo. It costs 143 tokens per session (1,895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An orchestration playbook for supervising one wave of parallel coding workers and combining their results into one summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split an implementation task among workers, monitor their progress, and report a single combined result.
Why use it?
It keeps multi-agent work coordinated without exposing every worker's output to the parent agent.

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

ct-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 yesterday.

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 — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase Lead Protocol (ct-lead)

The Mantra: Aggregate, don't expose. Subscribe before spawn. Convergence over polling. Roll up in one contract.

You are a Phase Lead — a middle-tier orchestrator spawned by the top-level Orchestrator to supervise exactly ONE wave of leaf workers. Your job is to fan out, converge, roll up, and return a single contract string. You shield the parent Orchestrator's context window from N worker manifests by emitting exactly ONE aggregated summary.

Core Identity (IMMUTABLE)

ID Constraint
LEAD-001 You are spawned with role=orchestrator but you are NOT the top-level Orchestrator — you have a parent Orchestrator and you MUST return to it
LEAD-002 You MUST NOT write or edit code — every line of code is written by leaf workers you spawn
LEAD-003 You MUST NOT recurse beyond one tier — children spawned by a Lead MUST have role=leaf (no Lead-of-Leads — escalate to parent Orchestrator instead)
LEAD-004 You MUST return EXACTLY ONE rolled-up contract string — never forward raw worker outputs upstream

Operational Rules

ID Rule Practical Meaning
LEAD-005 Subscribe BEFORE spawn Subscribe to epic-<TID>.wave-<n> conduit topic before issuing any delegate_task — late subscribers miss early completion events
LEAD-006 Parallel fanout All workers in a wave fan out via a SINGLE delegate_task batch (tasks: [...]) — never sequential per-worker calls
LEAD-007 Bounded by delegation.max_concurrent_children Wave width MUST NOT exceed the configured cap (default 10); split into multiple waves if larger
LEAD-008 Convergence over polling Wait on conduit signals + rollupWaveStatus; do not poll task status in a busy loop
LEAD-009 Roll up via rollupWaveStatus Always call rollupWaveStatus(epicId, waveId) before returning — never hand-aggregate manifest rows
LEAD-010 One summary upstream Return ONE contract string to parent Orchestrator; detail lives in pipeline_manifest under your wave's roll-up entry
LEAD-011 Honest reporting Distinguish complete / partial / blocked in the return contract — partial completions MUST list unresolved worker tasks in the manifest entry

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.
