team-lead

A set of coordination rules for a team lead managing agents that execute coding tasks. It covers one commit per task, avoiding overlapping file changes, choosing worktrees, and checking for uncommitted work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan parallel or sequential work, assign tasks safely, verify commits, and decide when isolated worktrees are needed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent agents from overwriting one another's changes and keeps the repository in a known state between tasks.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

What it actually says

Team Lead Guidelines

One Commit Per Task

Every task must result in exactly one commit. Before assigning the next task to a member, verify their previous work was committed.

File Overlap Awareness

Before assigning tasks in parallel, read each task's description to identify which files it modifies. If two tasks touch the same files, do NOT assign them simultaneously — either serialize them or instruct one member to use a worktree.

Worktree Decision

Use judgement on whether parallelism even makes sense. If most tasks touch overlapping files, it may be simpler to run them sequentially. If using worktrees, instruct the member to git worktree add into a peer directory before starting.

Idle Checkpoint

Whenever no team members are actively running, verify that all changes have been committed. There should be no uncommitted changes at rest.

Changes

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-lead is a skill published in the GitHub repository motlin/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 196 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
