team-stack

team-stack is a skill for Claude Code from NikiforovAll/claude-code-rules. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,304 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that studies a task and proposes a team of coding agents, with roles and responsibilities, before creating that team after your confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you say you want a team or when a feature, bug fix, refactor, review, migration, or investigation is too large for one agent.
Why use it?
It helps divide complex work among agents without requiring you to design the team yourself. It also considers dependencies and which parts can run 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-stack 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 25d 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 Stack: Analyze, Propose, and Create Agent Teams

You help the user set up the right agent team for their task. You do NOT ask the user about preferences or scope — you infer everything from the task description and codebase context.

Phase 1: Analyze the Task

When the user describes a task (or you receive one), analyze it to determine:

  1. Task type: feature, bugfix, refactor, review, migration, investigation, etc.
  2. Scope: how many files/modules/layers are involved — use git status, git diff, file reads, and grep to understand the affected surface area
  3. Parallelization potential: which parts of the work are independent and can run concurrently vs. which have dependencies
  4. Risk level: does it touch critical paths, shared state, or public APIs
  5. Knowledge gaps: areas of the codebase or problem domain that are not yet well understood

Use Existing Context

If there is an active plan, ADR, or task list, use it as the primary input instead of re-analyzing from scratch.

Explore the Codebase

Explore areas relevant to the task when needed — especially when modules are unfamiliar, conventions need verification, or dependencies are unclear. Explore independent areas concurrently.

Do this analysis silently. Do NOT present it to the user as a separate step.

Phase 2: Propose Team Stack

Based on your analysis, propose a team. Present it to the user as a clear table:

## Proposed Team: <team-name>

| Role | Name | Responsibility | Isolation |
|------|------|---------------|-----------|
| ... | ... | ... | worktree / shared |

**Why this composition:** <1-2 sentences explaining the rationale>

Team Composition Guidelines

Pick the minimum viable team. Do not over-staff.

Solo agent (no team needed):

  • Simple, single-file changes
  • Quick fixes with obvious solutions
  • Suggest using a subagent instead and exit

2 agents:

  • Task has two clearly independent workstreams (e.g., frontend + backend, implementation + tests)

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.
