team-gate

team-gate is a skill for Claude Code from MadAppGang/magus. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review-gate procedure that collects ballots from several AI reviewers, waits for the panel to settle, and decides whether enough valid reviews were received.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at plan, code, verification, and fix checkpoints when multiple reviewers must meet a minimum vote threshold.
Why use it?
It prevents a review from being marked complete just because a panel started or returned only some results. It also records skipped or failed reviewers instead of hiding them.

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-gate 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 1mo 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 gate: a gate is passed when its ballots have been read

The 2026-09-12 transcript audit (ai-docs/dev-workflow-gate-audit-2026-09-12.md) found that team(mode="run") returning {"started": true} was being treated as the gate passing, that panels which came back partial (1/4, 2/5 succeeded) were treated as complete, and that gates were skipped without a word. This procedure closes all three. Every gate site in /dev:dev, /dev:fix and /dev:audit follows it; none restates it.

The minimum ballot table

N is the number of external slots the gate launched. A ballot is a slot whose status state is COMPLETED and whose response-<slot>.md matched require_pattern (the settled status.summary counts these as succeeded). FAILED, EMPTY, still-RUNNING at the poll ceiling, and never-started slots are not ballots.

Gate Where MIN_BALLOTS
plan-review /dev:dev Phase 3 Step 3.10 2 when N ≥ 3, otherwise N
code-review /dev:dev Phase 5 Step 5.5, /dev:audit reviewer rows 2 when N ≥ 3, otherwise N
verify any verification panel (verify* session dirs) 1
fix-gate /dev:fix Phase A and Phase B N (every launched slot)

The internal reviewer (dev:architect, dev:reviewer, dev:debugger via the Agent tool) is never a ballot in this count: it is always required, it is not covered by require_pattern, and the phase's own rule says what a missing internal report means.

The procedure

1. Start with input_file only. Write the brief to <path>/prompt.md (or the gate's named input file) and call:

team(mode="run", path=<gate dir>, models=[...], input_file=<gate dir>/prompt.md,
     require_pattern=<the line the brief mandates>, min_output_bytes=400, agent=<if any>)

Never pass input beside input_file. The tool rejects the pair with Pass input_file or input, not both, and the audit counted 32 gate calls lost to exactly that. If the tool_result carries is_error with that text, retry ONCE with input_file alone and nothing else changed. Any other error, or a second failure: the panel has 0 ballots. Record the error text and go to step 5.

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-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadAppGang/magus (13 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,648 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-15.
