In plain words
What is it for?
Building or configuring skills and agents that create teams, assign teammates, coordinate their work, and connect team activity to automation hooks.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

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

claude-code-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 4d 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.

Claude Code Agent Teams Reference

A shared reference for Claude Code's Agent Teams features. Load this skill when building skills or agents that create teams, spawn teammates, coordinate multi-agent workflows, or integrate with team hooks.

This skill covers team lifecycle, tool parameters, spawning mechanics, and file structure. For deeper topics, load the reference files listed in Loading Reference Files.

Cross-reference: For Claude Code Tasks (TaskCreate, TaskGet, TaskUpdate, TaskList), see the companion skill: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/claude-code-tasks/SKILL.md


TeamCreate Tool

Creates a new named team and registers the caller as team lead.

Parameter Type Required Description
team_name string Yes Unique team identifier. Used in file paths, environment variables, and member discovery. Use kebab-case (e.g., analysis-team).
description string No Human-readable description of the team's purpose. Shown in team config and used by teammates to understand their team's mission.
agent_type string No The type of agent running as team lead. Informational; stored in config.json for member discovery.

Return behavior: Returns a confirmation with the team name. The team is immediately ready for member spawning after creation. Teams have a 1:1 correspondence with task lists — creating a team also creates a task list at ~/.claude/tasks/{team-name}/. A config.json file is created at ~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/config.json with team metadata including lead identity, description, and a members array where each member has name, agentId, and agentType.

Constraints:

  • Team names must be unique across all active teams
  • The creating agent becomes team lead automatically
  • Only team leads can send shutdown requests to members

TeamDelete Tool

Deletes a team and cleans up its resources. Takes no parameters — the team name is determined from the current session's team context.

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.
