agenda: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/communicate/SKILL.md

communicate is a skill for Claude Code from agentculture/agenda. It costs 180 tokens per session (3,677 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of communicate, MIT.

A communication toolkit for coordinating work across related repositories and shared team channels. It can create or update GitHub issues, fetch issue discussions, and send live mesh messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open or comment on a sibling repository's GitHub issue, retrieve its latest state for a brief, or send an ephemeral coordination message.
Why use it?
It keeps cross-repository hand-offs, follow-ups, and status updates in the appropriate place with current issue context.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is agentculture/agenda's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agenda itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agenda configures →

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

communicate 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/fetch-issues.sh, scripts/mesh-message.sh, scripts/post-comment.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to communicate — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Communicate (Cross-Repo + Mesh)

Steward's job is alignment across the AgentCulture mesh; that surfaces in four distinct channels:

  • Tracked, async hand-offs — a gap in another repo (a missing public API, a divergent skill, a documentation ask) where an agent on the other side needs to act, and the ask should outlive the conversation. → post-issue.sh (GitHub).
  • Follow-up on a tracked thread — a status update, an answer to a question, or a "this is done" note on an issue that's already open. → post-comment.sh (GitHub).
  • Inbound state read — pulling current issue body + comments from a sibling repo so a brief or plan can inline what's there instead of saying "see issue #N." → fetch-issues.sh (GitHub).
  • Ephemeral coordination — a status ping, a question, a "PR ready for merge" notice on a Culture mesh channel where the audience is already listening. → mesh-message.sh (Culture IRC).

All four live under one skill because they share the same audience (sibling-repo agents) and the same red flag (don't double-post the same ask across post + mesh — pick one).

Backed by agtag

The three GitHub verbs (post-issue.sh, post-comment.sh, fetch-issues.sh) are thin wrappers around the agtag CLI (agtag issue post|reply|fetch). agtag handles auto-signature resolution from the local culture.yaml (falling back to repo basename), JSON output mode, and a uniform exit-code policy. Read agtag learn for the agent-facing self-teaching prompt and agtag explain agtag / agtag explain issue for the surface docs — this SKILL.md does not re-document agtag's flags.

mesh-message.sh stays a culture channel message wrapper for now; agtag mesh transport is slated for v0.2.

When to Use

Issue mode (post-issue.sh)

  • A gap surfaces in another repo's surface (missing public API, wire-format compat fix, divergent skill, documentation ask).
  • You're handing off a self-contained brief to a sibling-repo agent.
  • (steward-specific — supplier role.) You're onboarding a sibling to the stack — "set it up", "align it", "update it with our stack", "set up the pipelines". The deliverable is an issue with a self-contained brief, never files written into that repo. In steward, quote steward's docs/sibling-pattern.md (required artifacts) and docs/skill-sources.md (the skill set to vendor) into the brief so it stands alone; steward's CLAUDE.md "Steward's lane" section is the canonical statement. Downstream vendors of this skill don't onboard siblings — those steward-side docs don't exist in your repo, so skip this bullet.
  • You're asking a question that benefits from a tracked artifact rather than ephemeral chat.

Changes

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.
