Install the Task Coordination Strategies skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/wshobson/agents --skill task-coordination-strategies
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wshobson/agents.git /tmp/agents mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/agents/plugins/agent-teams/skills/task-coordination-strategies ~/.claude/skills/task-coordination-strategies
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 49 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 989 tok |
| Only if opened | 2 bundled files (5 KB) | varies |
Until it is used, task-coordination-strategies costs about 28× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 150 skills from wshobson/agents would load 7,688 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
