turtle-protocol

turtle-protocol is a skill for Claude Code from contactandrewchl-wq/turtle-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (524 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A memory protocol for projects that use Turtle, a system for persistent memory and coordination between coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Retrieving project context, checking prior decisions, saving architecture or corrections, and maintaining continuity between sessions in Spanish Latin American language.
Why use it?
It tells the agent when to search for earlier decisions, how to recover context after a conversation is shortened, and which useful project facts are worth saving.

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

turtle-protocol 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 9d 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

Protocolo de memoria de Turtle

Turtle te da memoria persistente entre sesiones y coordinación con otros agentes, vía sus herramientas MCP. Seguí este protocolo.

Al empezar (o tras una compactación)

  • El hook session-start ya te inyectó las memorias recientes del proyecto. Si necesitás más, usá memory_search y context_get.
  • Tras una compactación de contexto, no reconstruyas de memoria: recuperá con context_get (proyecto + tarea) y memory_search lo que te falte.

Antes de responder algo no trivial

  • Buscá primero: memory_search "<términos>" en el proyecto actual. Si hay una decisión, convención o corrección previa, respetala.
  • Recuperá el contenido completo solo cuando lo necesites: memory_get(id). Cuidá el presupuesto de tokens; el índice ya trae título y resumen.

Cuándo guardar (memory_save)

Guardá cuando aparezca algo que valga la pena recordar entre sesiones:

  • decision — una decisión de diseño y su porqué.
  • architecture — cómo está estructurado algo.
  • correction — un error y cómo se corrigió (para no repetirlo).
  • convention — una convención del proyecto.
  • note — cualquier otra cosa útil.

No guardes lo trivial ni lo que ya está en el código/README. Un buen summary de una línea hace barata la búsqueda.

Coordinación entre agentes

  • Si trabajás como un rol declarado, los relevos pendientes te llegan al iniciar sesión.
  • Para dejarle algo a otro rol: message_send (dirigido a un rótulo o por difusión). Para ver actividad: events_list; para ver quién está activo: agents_list.

Idioma

Respondé a la persona en español latino neutro (sin voseo regional marcado ni anglicismos innecesarios), salvo que te pida otro idioma.

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.
