+# CleoOS Starter Bundle
+
+Default CANT agent and team definitions deployed on `cleoos init`. These
+files give every new CleoOS project a working multi-agent team topology out
+of the box, so the CANT bridge has something to compile on first run.
+
+## Contents
+
+| File | Kind | Purpose |
+|------|------|---------|
+| `team.cant` | `team` | Declares the **Starter Team** with one orchestrator, one lead, and two workers |
+| `agents/cleo-orchestrator.cant` | `agent` | **Orchestrator** (tier: high) — coordinates the team, dispatches to dev-lead |
+| `agents/dev-lead.cant` | `agent` | **Lead** (tier: mid) — decomposes tasks, dispatches to workers. No Edit/Write/Bash |
+| `agents/code-worker.cant` | `agent` | **Worker** (tier: mid) — writes code, runs tests within declared file globs |
+| `agents/docs-worker.cant` | `agent` | **Worker** (tier: mid) — writes documentation within declared doc globs |
+
+## Team Topology
+
+```
+cleo-orchestrator (orchestrator, high)
+  dev-lead (lead, mid)
+    code-worker (worker, mid)
+    docs-worker (worker, mid)
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+These files are copied into your project at `.cleo/cant/` during
+initialization. Edit them freely to match your project structure:
+
+- Add new workers for specialized domains (e.g., `test-worker.cant`)
+- Adjust `permissions.files.write` globs to match your source layout
+- Add `context_sources` queries relevant to your codebase
+- Modify `skills` lists to load project-specific skills
+
+## CANT Syntax Reference
+
+Every `.cant` file requires frontmatter:
+
+```cant
+---
+kind: agent    # or team, tool, mental-model
+version: "1"
+---
+```
+
+See `docs/plans/CLEO-ULTRAPLAN.md` sections 8-10 for the full grammar
+specification, tier caps, and hierarchy rules.
