twining-coordinate

twining-coordinate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daveangulo/twining-mcp. It costs 30 tokens per session (810 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding suitable agents and coordinating work between them. It supports multi-agent tasks, where different agents handle different parts of a larger job.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover available agents, match tasks to their capabilities, delegate isolated work, and collect results through shared coordination records.
Why use it?
It helps divide work among specialists and keep track of who is doing what. It also explains when the required coordination tools are unavailable instead of pretending delegation happened.

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

twining-coordinate 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 5d 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.

Twining Coordinate — Multi-Agent Delegation and Discovery

You need work done by a specialized agent, or you want to understand what agents are available for a task.

Requires the full tool surface. Every tool in this skill — twining_register, twining_agents, twining_discover, twining_delegate, twining_read, twining_recent, and the deprecated twining_handoff / twining_acknowledge — exists only when the project sets tools.full_surface: true in .twining/config.yml. On a default install none of them are callable. Coordinate through the blackboard instead: twining_post a need entry describing the work, and have each agent twining_assemble on its scope before starting. Do not claim a delegation was registered when the tool was unavailable.

When to Invoke

  • When a task requires capabilities beyond your own
  • When work can be parallelized across multiple agents
  • When you need to find an agent with specific expertise
  • When delegating a subtask to run in isolation

Workflow

1. Discover Available Agents

Call twining_agents to see all registered agents with:

  • Their capabilities (e.g., ["database", "postgresql", "migration"])
  • Liveness status (active, idle, gone)
  • Role and description

2. Find Matching Agents

Call twining_discover with:

  • required_capabilities: Array of capability strings needed for the task
  • include_gone: Set to false to exclude agents that haven't been active recently (default: true)
  • min_score: Minimum match score threshold (0-1, default: 0)

Results are ranked by:

  • Capability overlap: How many required capabilities the agent has
  • Liveness score: Active (1.0) > Idle (0.5) > Gone (0.1)
  • Total score: Weighted combination of both

3. Delegate Work

Call twining_delegate with:

  • summary: Clear description of what needs to be done
  • required_capabilities: Skills needed for the task
  • urgency: "high" (5 min timeout), "normal" (30 min), or "low" (4 hours)
  • scope: Area of codebase affected
  • tags: Additional categorization

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.

twining-coordinate is a skill published in the GitHub repository daveangulo/twining-mcp (7 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 810 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
