chat_with_agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentscope-ai/QwenPaw. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,219 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for asking another software agent for help, a review, a plan, or a second opinion. It explains how to find the right agent and continue an existing conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another agent's expertise is needed, when a user requests a specific agent, or when work should be delegated for background execution.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from being chosen by guesswork and keeps follow-up conversations connected to their earlier context. It also helps decide when another agent is unnecessary.

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

chat_with_agent 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.

Chat with Agent

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to ask another agent a question, seek help, request a plan, request a review, request decision support, or engage in any form of communication. If the user explicitly asks to talk to a specific agent, you should also use this skill.

Should Use

  • You need another agent's expertise, judgment, or second opinion
  • You need to request a plan, review, or recommendation from an agent
  • The user explicitly asks a specific agent to participate, assist, or answer
  • You need to continue an existing agent session while preserving context

Should Not Use

  • You can complete the task yourself and the user has not explicitly asked to involve another agent
  • It is a simple Q&A that does not require a specialized agent
  • The target agent is unclear — you should ask for clarification or list available agents first
  • You just received a message from an agent and are about to immediately call back the same agent, which may cause a loop

Decision Rules

  1. If the user explicitly requests a specific agent, follow that request — but still look up the agent first; do not guess the ID
  2. If you can complete the task yourself, do not call another agent
  3. When continuing a conversation, you must pass session_id
  4. By default, prefer using list_agents() and chat_with_agent(...) for foreground conversations — do not resort to other methods
  5. If the task should run in the background, use submit_to_agent(...) to submit it, then check_agent_task(...) to check the status

Usage Flow

Follow this flow strictly when using this skill:

  1. Ensure your tool list includes both list_agents() and chat_with_agent(...) built-in tools
  • These two tools are the foundation for communicating with other agents — do not remove or disable them
  • If you do not have these tools, inform the user that you need them to talk to other agents, and ask the user to add them
  1. Use list_agents() to view the currently available agents, and select one by extracting its ID

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.
