latent-briefing

latent-briefing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from guanyang/open-agent-hub. It costs 74 tokens per session (2,570 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of latent-briefing, MIT.

A guide to sharing an AI agent's internal working context with another agent in a multi-agent system. It focuses on compressing that context instead of sending the full text history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing orchestrator-worker systems where workers need relevant prior reasoning without replaying the entire conversation.
Why use it?
It can reduce repeated context and information loss when one agent hands work to another.

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

latent-briefing 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 8d 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.

Latent Briefing and KV Cache Memory Sharing

Hierarchical multi-agent systems often pay for the same context twice. The orchestrator accumulates a long reasoning trajectory, but each worker usually receives only a narrow text handoff such as a subtask prompt plus raw document slices. Passing the full trajectory fixes coverage but drives token cost up on every worker call. Summarization introduces latency and information loss. Retrieval helps with document access but does not preserve the orchestrator's evolving reasoning state.

Latent Briefing addresses this by sharing memory at the representation level rather than the text level. The core idea is to compact the orchestrator trajectory in the worker model's KV cache, keeping positions that are most relevant to the current worker task. The method builds on Attention Matching (AM) KV cache compaction and adapts it for inference-time multi-agent handoff with task-guided queries, a shared token mask across heads, and robust thresholding.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when:

  • Designing orchestrator-worker or supervisor-specialist systems where workers need access to prior orchestrator state without replaying the full trajectory as text
  • Evaluating alternatives to LLM summarization or RAG for cross-agent state transfer
  • Implementing or studying KV cache compaction as a first-class inference primitive, not only prefix caching of identical prompts
  • Debugging token explosion in recursive, hierarchical, or tool-heavy agent graphs
  • Interpreting benchmarks that report worker-token savings, total-token savings, compaction overhead, and accuracy together

Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills:

  • API-only stacks where internal KV tensors are inaccessible: use context-compression, memory-systems, or multi-agent-patterns.
  • Ordinary persistent memory, entity tracking, or graph retrieval: memory-systems.
  • General multi-agent topology without representation-level state sharing: multi-agent-patterns.
  • Prefix caching, masking, or budget policy that does not transform KV state: context-optimization.

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.
