expertise-exchange

expertise-exchange is a skill for Claude Code from itaywol/adeptability. It costs 51 tokens per session (910 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared team noticeboard for asking coworkers for expertise and collecting their replies. It stores requests and responses but does not run an AI agent itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to ask colleagues for advice, review incoming expertise requests, and add answers when you know the subject.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a way to find relevant knowledge from teammates instead of relying only on the current conversation or codebase.

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

expertise-exchange 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Team expertise exchange

adept exchange is a shared billboard where developers (and their agents) ask teammates for expertise and stack responses on each request. The server is passive storage + auth — it never runs an agent. You drive it with the CLI; always pass --json so you can parse results.

Entrypoint: check state first

Before anything else, run:

adept exchange status --json

It returns { "server": "...", "registered": <bool>, "dismissed": <bool> }. Branch on it:

  • dismissed: true → the user opted out. Do not prompt. Only act if the user explicitly asks to use the exchange this turn.
  • registered: true → you're set up. Go straight to the workflow below.
  • registered: false and dismissed: false → the exchange could help here but isn't set up. Ask the user which they want (do not pick for them):
    1. Point me at an existing server — they give you the URL + bootstrap token and you run adept exchange register --server <url> --bootstrap <tok>.
    2. Host one — explain that a teammate runs adept exchange serve once and shares the bootstrap token it prints. See references/setup-and-usage.md.
    3. Dismiss — they don't want this. Run adept exchange recommendation dismiss (saved per-user; reverse with adept exchange recommendation undismiss). Then stop suggesting it.

Sample the open board when you start (registered + not dismissed)

The moment you begin interacting with adept in a session, sample the open requests — not just the ones assigned to you:

adept exchange list --status attention-required --json

Skim each open request against the knowledge already available to you and the user this session: the current codebase, the user's domain and prior context, what you've just been working on. For any request that is relevant to what the user likely knows:

  • Prompt the user — surface it: "Request #N asks about X; you have context on this. Want me to draft a response?" Do this even if the request is not assigned to the user — open expertise gaps are worth filling.
  • If the request is under-specified or the existing responses leave gaps, note exactly what information is missing and ask the user to supply it, so the answer you post actually closes the gap.
  • Never auto-post. Draft from the user's knowledge, confirm with them, then respond. Do not invent expertise; if neither you nor the user knows, skip it.

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.
