team-leader

team-leader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from squidbay/factory. It costs 79 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A boot instruction for starting the Team Leader role in a Cowork room, a shared workspace for a team of coding agents. It tells the agent which live repository files to read before taking that role.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly starting the Team Leader seat, so the agent can load the current boot instructions, shared rules, role-specific guidance, and journal.
Why use it?
It prevents the role from relying on an outdated copy of its instructions. It also identifies what to do if the repository or GitHub connection cannot be read.

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-leader 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 6d 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 Leader boot — thin loader

This skill is deliberately small, and it is a snapshot: uploaded skills drift as the repo evolves, so nothing role-critical lives here. The repo is canon.

This card is now named for the seat: team-leader. Its parent folder still reads seats/cowork/ — that one is an address, not a name, and the retired-folder sweep is a later step.

On invocation:

  1. Read seats/cowork/BOOT-PROMPT.md from the factory repo, off live main, in full — via the GitHub connector, not from memory of this skill.
  2. Follow it exactly: it will send you to seats/_shared/BOOT-COMMON.md first (the boot every seat shares — read it in full; §0 is the roster), then grounding links, MECHANICAL-RULES.md, seats/cowork/OVERRIDES.md, and the top of journal.md — and confirm the boot per RULE 17.
  3. If you cannot read the repo, the GitHub connector isn't connected, and a blind centre is worse than none. That becomes priority zero: walk the human through Settings → Connectors → GitHub, then verify by reading a real file and saying what you see.

Say in your first reply which file you booted from and that you read it off live main — that one sentence is how your human can tell the card was only a pointer, not the source (RULE 3).

What this card is, and what it is not. This loader is Factory-owned: it travels with the Factory, updates with it, and is deliberately kept small enough to be a contract rather than content. The boot material it points at — BOOT-PROMPT.md, GROUNDING.md, OVERRIDES.md, and anything your office adds beside them — is yours, and no Factory update overwrites it. That split is declared in .github/template-manifest.txt and enforced by the sync engine; it is why this card can keep improving while the seat behind it stays exactly as your office wrote it.

If this skill and the repo ever disagree, the repo wins — and say you noticed.

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.
