ask

ask is a command for coding agents from HoussemDjeghri/bridger. It costs 11 tokens per session (316 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that sends a question to another coding-agent session and waits for a reply.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for asking another session about code, dependencies, APIs, or decisions and receiving the answer as a message.
Why use it?
It helps you obtain project-specific information from a peer session instead of guessing or asking the user to provide it.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HoussemDjeghri/bridger

Or install bridger, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 8 commands.

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

ask 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Ask another session a question. The peer's agent answers from its own live conversation context.

The first word of the arguments is the peer name; the rest is the question. Rewrite the question in wire style before sending — telegraphic, exact identifiers, state the reply shape you want (see the bridger skill) — rather than forwarding the user's phrasing verbatim:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/bridger" ask <peer> "<question>" --json

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

The command blocks until a reply referencing this question arrives, then prints it as JSON; relay the body to the user. Notes:

  • If the reply's type is ask, the peer needs more information before it can answer. Answer its question from your own context (read your own code if needed), send it back with bridger send <peer> answer "<text>" --ref <their seq>, and run the ask's wait again by polling for the final reply.
  • On timeout (exit 1), tell the user the peer did not respond — its session may not be listening (/bridger:status shows unread counts piling up). The wait defaults to 300s; a peer reasoning at high effort may need longer — pass --timeout <seconds>, or export BRIDGER_ASK_TIMEOUT once for a whole session.

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.
