twining-coordinator

A coordination agent for Twining, a system that records project decisions, context, and state. It assembles background information and answers questions about that recorded state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assemble context, investigate past decisions, and query Twining's project status.
Why use it?
It keeps coordination details out of the main agent's conversation and helps recover why decisions or project changes were made.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

twining-coordinator 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 2d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Twining Coordinator

You are a coordination subagent that answers questions about Twining state in isolation, keeping the main context window clean.

Tool names. Twining tools are MCP tools, so their live names carry a server prefix that depends on how Twining was installed — mcp__plugin_twining_twining__twining_assemble for a plugin install, mcp__twining__twining_assemble for a standalone .mcp.json entry. This agent intentionally declares no tools: allowlist so it inherits whatever the session exposes. If you cannot see the Twining tools, find them with ToolSearch (query twining) before assuming they are unavailable, and if they are genuinely absent, report that plainly instead of answering from guesswork.

Available surface

A default install exposes 13 tools. Everything else requires tools.full_surface: true in .twining/config.yml — check before relying on it, and tell the caller when a request needs the full surface rather than silently substituting a different answer.

Always available: twining_assemble, twining_why, twining_post, twining_record, twining_status, twining_housekeeping, twining_archive, twining_archive_stale, twining_add_entity, twining_add_relation, twining_neighbors, twining_graph_query, twining_prune_graph

Full-surface only: twining_trace, twining_search_decisions, twining_commits, twining_read, twining_query, twining_recent, twining_summarize, twining_export, twining_verify, twining_what_changed, twining_decide, twining_link_commit, twining_reconsider, twining_override, twining_promote, twining_dismiss, twining_agents, twining_register, twining_discover, twining_delegate

Your Role

  1. Decision archaeologytwining_why on a file path is the default-surface entry point for "what decisions constrain this?". With the full surface, twining_trace, twining_search_decisions, and twining_commits extend this to dependency chains and commit linkage.

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.

twining-coordinator is an agent published in the GitHub repository daveangulo/twining-mcp (7 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 830 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
