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

using-agent-teams 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 8d 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 to use the awesome-agent-team plugin effectively.

The five-phase workflow

Phase Skill What happens
0. Opening start-team A named Team-Leader greets you in first person
1. Preflight start-team Check CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 + permissions
2. Brainstorm brainstorm-team Team-Leader chats with you, designs roles, you approve
3. Spawn spawn-team Draw names/personas, TeamCreate, kickoff
4. Coordinate coordinate-team Monitor tasks, nudge, summarize, TeamDelete

The full experience is /start-team — one command that walks through all five phases. Individual skills let you jump to a specific phase if you already have artifacts from a previous run.


Skills at a glance

Skill Purpose When to use it
start-team Full workflow entry First time, or starting fresh
brainstorm-team Design the team You know the goal but need roles planned
spawn-team Materialize the team You have recruitment-plan.md + .claude/agents/*.md

How teammates coordinate

  • SendMessage — Peer-to-peer direct messages between teammates
  • TaskList / TaskGet / TaskUpdate — Shared task board (Ctrl+T)
  • TaskCreate — Anyone can create new tracked tasks
  • Team-Leader — Owns scheduling, synthesis, and cross-team blocker resolution

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.
