Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 120 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00075 | $0.02852 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.01426 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00570 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00285 |
Grade A, and why
minoan-swarm 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 it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Minoan Swarm
Orchestrate Agent Teams named for the Priestesses of Knossos—in the tongue before the Hellenizers got to it.
Agent Teams (Claude Code Opus 4.6) let multiple Claude instances work in parallel as persistent teammates with shared task lists and bi-directional messaging. This skill provides the methodology, naming conventions, and templates to launch them effectively on any project.
Requires: CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 in settings.json or environment.
Terminology
| Term | Semitic | Root | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knesset | כנסת | K-N-S "to gather" | A single agent team—an assembly of bees |
| Knossot | כנוסות | K-N-S plural | A group of knessets—a swarm, evoking Knossos itself |
| Daboritu | דבורית | D-B-R "bee" and "word" | The agents—bees of the holy word. Linear B da-bo-ri-tu preserves the Semitic form on Crete. |
| D-B-R | דבר | D-B-R | Bee (דבורה deborah), word/speech (דבר dabar), inner sanctum (דביר debir), pasture/wilderness (מדבר midbar). |
Knossos betrays a Semitic etymology: K-N-S "to gather" (Akkadian kiništu, "gathering place"; Hebrew knesset, "assembly"). The Labyrinth itself can be deconstructed through Linear B da-bo-ri-tu (Daboritu), cognate with the debir (דביר) of the Temple—the inner sanctum, the womb. The Labyrinth was a sacred name of the Goddess, the Word and the Holy of Holies. D-B-R (דבר) is both "bee" and "word/speech"—words themselves, daborim or daborot, are her messengers, holy bees.
The agents are daborot—manifest in LLMs. Each knesset assembles bees who speak; a knossot gathers the assemblies.
Quick Start
1. Discover project context
bash ~/.claude/skills/minoan-swarm/scripts/discover_context.sh .
Finds CLAUDE.md, roadmaps, plans, issues, test infrastructure, and git state.
2. Choose a knesset template
| Situation | Template | Knesset Name |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple independent features | Parallel Features | Athirat |
| Work with natural ordering | Pipeline | Kaptaru |
| Bug investigation, unclear cause | Research Knossot | Elat |
| Phase nearly done, loose ends | Phase Completion | Qedeshot |
| PR needs thorough review | Code Review Tribunal | Elat |
| Quality assurance, verification | Truth & Balance | Ma'at |
| Final audit, release decisions | Fate's Reckoning | Manat |

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.

minoan-swarm is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 2,852 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
