distributed-mesh

A setup guide for coordinating coding teams on different computers, using Git to share project state. A mesh is the connected group of participating teams and locations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It creates the shared configuration, synchronization scripts, and a record of the team setup.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to share updates across machines without relying on a continuously running service.

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

distributed-mesh scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (sync-mesh.ps1, sync-mesh.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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

**Zone 3 — Remote-Opaque:** Different org, no shared auth. Transport: `curl` to fetch published contracts (SUMMARY.md). One-way visibility — you see only what they publish.

This is a copy

97% identical to distributed-mesh — 574 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SCOPE

✅ THIS SKILL PRODUCES (exactly these, nothing more):

  1. mesh.json — Generated from user answers about zones and squads (which squads participate, what zone each is in, paths/URLs for each), using mesh.json.example in this skill's directory as the schema template
  2. sync-mesh.sh and sync-mesh.ps1 — Copied from this skill's directory into the project root (these are bundled resources, NOT generated code)
  3. Zone 2 state repo initialization (if applicable) — If the user specified a Zone 2 shared state repo, run sync-mesh.sh --init to scaffold the state repo structure
  4. A decision entry in .squad/decisions/inbox/ documenting the mesh configuration for team awareness

❌ THIS SKILL DOES NOT PRODUCE:

  • No application code — No validators, libraries, or modules of any kind
  • No test files — No test suites, test cases, or test scaffolding
  • No GENERATING sync scripts — They are bundled with this skill as pre-built resources. COPY them, don't generate them.
  • No daemons or services — No background processes, servers, or persistent runtimes
  • No modifications to existing squad files beyond the decision entry (no changes to team.md, routing.md, agent charters, etc.)

Your role: Configure the mesh topology and install the bundled sync scripts. Nothing more.

Context

When squads are on different machines (developer laptops, CI runners, cloud VMs, partner orgs), the local file-reading convention still works — but remote files need to arrive on your disk first. This skill teaches the pattern for distributed squad communication.

When this applies:

  • Squads span multiple machines, VMs, or CI runners
  • Squads span organizations or companies
  • An agent needs context from a squad whose files aren't on the local filesystem

When this does NOT apply:

  • All squads are on the same machine (just read the files directly)

Patterns

The Core Principle

"The filesystem is the mesh, and git is how the mesh crosses machine boundaries."

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

distributed-mesh is a skill published in the GitHub repository alonf/MCPPythonDemo (0 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,069 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 97% identical to distributed-mesh, differing in 574 lines, and is treated as a copy.
