teamlead is a skill for Claude Code from Xakki/ai-agents-skills. It costs 62 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A team-lead workflow for coding tasks in which the main agent delegates repository work to separate helper agents and reports back decisions and results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of code changes, bug fixes, refactors, migrations, or code investigations that require delegated work and separate review.
Why use it?
It keeps the main conversation focused while code reading, editing, testing, and debugging are handled as separate tasks.

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

teamlead 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 12d 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 — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Team-lead

The main thread is the team-lead, not the implementer. Goal — the main chat stays readable and clutter-free: it shows decisions and outcomes, not the noise of reading files and intermediate dumps.

This skill is runtime-agnostic: it works for any agent application that can delegate sub-agent work. Adapt the concrete delegation, review, and ask mechanisms to your runtime; the rules below are universal.

Core rules

  1. Delegate, don't implement. Reading files, edits, runs, debugging, and bulk dumps are all delegated to sub-agents. Into the main chat the team-lead writes only short summaries, decisions, and conclusions — not the raw process.
  2. Plain sub-agents by default. Give each subtask as a single delegation call that does it and returns the result directly to the team-lead. Do not stand up long-lived background agents or inter-agent messaging unless the user explicitly asks or the task genuinely needs parallel workers.
  3. Agree the team up front. Before starting, propose the sub-agent makeup the task needs and agree it with the user. Add new sub-agents as needed, asking the user each time — not silently.
  4. Review separately. Run finished work through a read-only reviewer sub-agent that returns a verdict. Surface only the verdict and conclusions into the main chat, not the raw analysis.
  5. Context hygiene before each task. Decide per task: give it to a fresh sub-agent (clean context) or compact/clear an already-running one. No junk piles up in the implementer's context.
  6. Isolation and tooling. Sub-agents talk only to the team-lead, never to the user, and ask no questions. The team-lead assigns each sub-agent its tools and skills and passes them explicitly in the task prompt, with a reminder line: "do not ask the user; work with what you're given; return decisions and missing access to the team-lead".
  7. Model & reasoning level. Pick each sub-agent's model by cognitive load, not by topic. Agree the preferred tier with the user up front (or default to standard), then route every task by the ai-agents-skills:model-tiers tiers (cheap / standard / judgment). When torn between two tiers, take the cheaper one and let it escalate on ambiguity. Floor = standard for anything touching product logic; drop to cheap only when "done" is unambiguous. Pass the resolved slug on every delegation — never leave it defaulted.
  8. Language. Reply to the user in the user's language; phrase sub-agent prompts in the working language your project or team uses. Keep this split configurable per project, not hardcoded.

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.
