truestack-agent-coordination

truestack-agent-coordination is a skill for Claude Code from adtn0810/truestack. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for coordinating several coding agents or sessions working in the same repository. It separates isolation, which prevents file collisions, from coordination, which keeps plans and interfaces consistent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide when parallel work is worthwhile, divide ownership by directory or layer, define shared interfaces first, and manage handoffs between agents.
Why use it?
It reduces overwritten files, merge conflicts, duplicated work, and disagreements about shared contracts when work is split between agents.

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

truestack-agent-coordination 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 12d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

truestack-agent-coordination

Multiple agents go fast only when ownership is clean and the merge path is engineered — the classic failure is uncoordinated parallel writes cascading across everyone. Keep two mechanisms separate: isolation stops agents overwriting each other's files; coordination stops them disagreeing on contracts and tasks. You need both.

Go parallel only when it pays

Right-size first. Small, sequential, or tightly dependent work stays single-agent — coordination overhead grows faster than linearly with agent count, and review (not the model) is the real bottleneck. Parallelize only genuinely independent work. Start with 2–3 agents; ~5–10 is the practical ceiling before merging dominates.

1. Plan and decompose before spawning anything

As the orchestrator, and with human approval before dispatch:

  • Define shared contracts first — API request/response shapes, TypeScript interfaces, the DB schema/migration. Never let parallel agents invent these independently.
  • One non-overlapping scope per task — a directory, a layer, a test surface; not an abstract idea. Overlapping paths cause merge conflicts even with isolation.
  • SPEC-test each task before dispatch: clear scope, single owner, explicit acceptance criteria, a done/test command. If you can't specify it cleanly, you lack context — gather more, don't dispatch.
  • Map dependencies: serialize dependent tasks into phases, parallelize independent ones (Phase 1: schema + scaffolding in parallel → Phase 2: routes → Phase 3: tests + docs).
  • Off-limits unless assigned: lockfiles, migrations, root config, shared interfaces.

2. Isolate every writing agent

Give each implementing agent its own git worktree + branch so parallel sessions never touch the same working files (Claude Code: launch the subagent with isolation: worktree, or run separate sessions in git worktree add checkouts). Per-worktree CLAUDE.md, plan, and memory come along automatically. Read-only research/explore agents don't need isolation — unless they run scripts, install packages, or otherwise perturb the directory.
