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-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 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.

Claude Teams

Coordinate multiple Claude Code agents working together on shared tasks.

When forming a team

Invoke /core:agent-loop for the 4-phase / 6-tier execution model. Invoke /claude-code:claude-agents for agent file format, tool allowlists, and model selection. Invoke /core:anti-fabrication always — every claim about a tool, file, or test result requires tool execution.

Require each teammate to quote one sentence from each loaded skill in its first message as proof of loading. Do not proceed with the teammate's work until proof is received.

Glob patterns like /core:* do not expand in Agent prompts. List skill names explicitly.

Approaches

Three approaches exist for multi-agent coordination, each with different trade-offs:

Approach Communication Coordination Best For
Agent Teams Peer-to-peer messaging + shared task list Team lead + self-coordination Collaborative work requiring discussion
Subagents Report back to parent only Parent manages all Focused delegated tasks
Agent SDK Programmatic message streaming Developer-controlled CI/CD, automation, custom apps

Agent Teams (Experimental)

First-party multi-agent coordination. A team lead spawns teammates that work independently with peer-to-peer messaging and a shared task list.

Enable with: CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1

For setup, configuration, and usage details, see references/agent-teams.md.

Subagents (Task Tool)

Lightweight delegation within a single session. Subagents run in their own context window, complete a task, and return results to the parent.

For subagent types, custom agents, and isolation patterns, see references/subagents.md.

Agent SDK

Programmatic multi-agent orchestration in Python and TypeScript using the same tools that power Claude Code.

For SDK setup, agent definitions, and session management, see references/agent-sdk.md.

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.
