metabot-team

metabot-team is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from xvirobotics/metabot. It costs 33 tokens per session (643 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line guide for managing durable teams of coding agents, including their messages, tasks, and individual runs. A run is one execution of an assigned task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create teams, add agents, dispatch tasks, exchange messages, and inspect team status, tasks, agents, and runs.
Why use it?
It makes team work inspectable across sessions, so assignments, dependencies, results, failures, retries, and cancellations do not disappear with one conversation.

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

metabot-team 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 11d 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.

MetaBot Agent Teams CLI

This Skill documents the metabot teams command surface and its durable-state semantics. It does not define Agent execution policy.

Core Model

Team = Agents + Messages + Tasks + Runs.

  • Agents retain a stable Team identity across engine Sessions.
  • Messages are the normal conversational handoff surface.
  • Tasks record durable assignment, dependencies, status, and result.
  • Runs record individual executions, output, failure, retry, cancellation, and card state.
  • Multiple dispatches to the same Agent create independent Tasks and Runs.

Inspect A Team

metabot teams status <team> --summary
metabot teams agents list <team>
metabot teams tasks list <team> --summary
metabot teams runs list <team> --summary
metabot teams next <team> <member> --summary

--summary or --plain selects concise output. The default output is JSON.

Create And Dispatch

metabot teams create <team> --description "..."
metabot teams agents spawn <team> <member> --role <role> --prompt "..."
metabot teams dispatch <team> <member> "<subject>" --description "..." --plain
metabot teams send <team> <member> "<message>" --from <sender>
metabot teams inbox <team> <member> --summary

dispatch creates the Task/message/Run projection used by the supervisor. A teammate's final response returns through Team state and the configured display destination.

The default maximum parallel Runs per Agent is 4, configurable with METABOT_AGENT_TEAM_MAX_PARALLEL_PER_AGENT.

Tasks And Runs

metabot teams tasks get <team> <taskId>
metabot teams tasks claim <team> <taskId> <member>
metabot teams tasks done <team> <taskId> "<result>"
metabot teams tasks block <team> <taskId> "<reason>" --blocked-by <id,id>
metabot teams runs list <team>
metabot teams runs output <team> <runId>
metabot teams runs stop <team> <runId>

Run statuses are running, completed, failed, and stopped. Stopping a supervisor-owned Run asks the bridge to stop the execution and prevents late output from replacing terminal state. Assigned in-progress Tasks may return to pending for retry.

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.
