amaa-design-communication-patterns-ops

amaa-design-communication-patterns-ops is a skill for Claude Code from Emasoft/ai-maestro-architect-agent. It costs 37 tokens per session (525 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of operating procedures for handling unusual cases and shared tasks in communication between software-design agents. It assumes AI Maestro, the coordinating system, is running and reachable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify an edge case, consult the matching procedure, follow the required steps, and report the result to the coordinating agent.
Why use it?
It gives agents a documented response when another agent, GitHub, an API, or the requirements cause problems. This avoids improvised handling of communication failures and disagreements.

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

amaa-design-communication-patterns-ops 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.

Design Communication Patterns (Operations)

Overview

Operational procedures and edge case handling for architect inter-agent communication. Covers failure protocols, shared templates, constants, messaging, and schema validation.

Prerequisites

  • AI Maestro running and API accessible

Instructions

  1. Identify the operational procedure or edge case scenario
  2. Consult the appropriate reference document
  3. Follow the protocol steps as documented
  4. Report outcome to orchestrator

Checklist

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

  • Identify needed operation or edge case
  • Consult reference document
  • Execute protocol steps

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.
