What it does

Open Agent Teams is an agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills. Delegate tasks to ANY CLI agent (claude, codex, aider, ...) running in a detached tmux session, with a race-safe done-signal protocol and multi-turn iteration. Use when delegating work to a non-Claude CLI agent, when the user says "tmux delegate", "run agent in tmux", "delegate to codex/aider", or when executor work should run in an observable background terminal instead of the Agent tool.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/CLAUDE.delegation-template.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with tmux. The repository describes itself as: Codebase harness + loop engineer.

When your agent uses it

  • Delegating work to a non-Claude CLI agent
  • The user says tmux delegate
  • Run agent in tmux
  • Delegate to codex/aider

Example prompts

  • “tmux delegate”
  • “run agent in tmux”
  • “delegate to codex/aider”
  • “/open-agent-teams”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start an agent on a task
  2. Wait for completion — ALWAYS via a background Bash task so you get woken up instead of blocking or polling
  3. Review the output (tdel result , plus inspect the actual files the agent changed). If iteration is needed
  4. Debug a stuck or slow agent: tdel peek [lines] shows the live pane. tdel status lists all sessions.
  5. Stop when finished: tdel stop (kills the session and removes state under /tmp/agent-delegate/).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 917780c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • codex
    • claude
    • opencode

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Open Agent Teams loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 650 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 650 words (~1,372 tokens).

“Run any CLI agent as an executor inside a detached tmux session. Communication is: prompt in via CLI arg / send-keys, completion out via a file sentinel the agent touches, summary out via a result file the agent writes. File…”
