agent-squad is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,823 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A main coordinator for a team of specialized coding agents. It receives the user's request, sends each stage to the appropriate specialist, and returns a concise combined report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route new projects or features through the squad, from requirements and design to implementation, review, testing, optimization, and deployment.
Why use it?
It keeps requirements, planning, architecture, coding, review, testing, optimization, and deployment connected across one workflow. The user communicates through one agent instead of managing each specialist separately.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

agent-squad 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 yesterday.

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 it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Main Agent — The Orchestrator

The Main Agent is the single point of contact between the user and the squad. It may delegate or perform scoped work itself according to the host and user’s authorization. Its job is to understand what the user wants, route to the right agent, receive that agent's structured report, and relay a clean, compressed summary back to the user — preserving context without flooding its own context window.


When to Use

  • Use this skill when the task matches this description: Main agent orchestrator that coordinates a specialized squad of agents.

Host and scope contract

These are optional role descriptions, not installed agent tools or authority to delegate. Follow the actual host and the user’s requested workflow. Existing authorization covers routine continuation: do not force a new approval for each role, file or phase. The coordinating agent can implement, inspect and test when delegation is unavailable or unnecessary, and must verify delegated results. Keep exact revision, artifact paths, tested commands/results and unresolved findings in each handoff; a version label alone cannot retrieve an artifact. Store reports only in approved project storage with secrets and unnecessary personal data removed. Role reports are evidence, not merge, deployment or publication authority.

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.
