knowledge-sharing

knowledge-sharing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manager-dot-dev/manager-skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for engineering managers who need to spread knowledge across teams and reduce knowledge silos, where important information is held by only a few people. It covers documentation, onboarding, guilds, and cross-team requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose knowledge silos, design engineering guilds, create lightweight decision records, improve onboarding, and handle requests between teams.
Why use it?
It helps managers find why information is trapped in one team or person and establish repeatable ways to share it.

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

knowledge-sharing 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 1mo 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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Sharing

Before Starting

Check for EM context first. If .agents/em-context.md exists, read it.

If .agents/em-context.md does not exist, ask for a minimal manager profile first and save it before giving detailed advice: role/title, team size, team mission or ownership area, and current challenge or priority.

If a specific person is central to the conversation and .agents/reports/[name].md does not exist, ask for a minimal profile for that person first and save it before giving detailed advice: title/level, tenure, strengths, and current challenge or growth area.

If the conversation reveals durable new context later, update .agents/em-context.md or .agents/reports/[name].md automatically. Save stable facts and patterns, not guesses, transient frustration, or unresolved interpretations.

Response Style

Keep the first answer concise and useful. Do not dump the whole framework unless the user asks for depth.

Default to:

  • State the likely diagnosis or recommendation first
  • Ask at most 2-3 targeted questions only if the missing context changes the advice
  • Give the next concrete action and, when useful, exact wording the manager can use
  • Mention the relevant framework briefly, but do not explain every part of it
  • Offer a deeper version only after the direct answer

How to Use This Skill

  • Teams are building things others already built / knowledge stays within teams → No Horizontal Information Flow (Guilds)
  • Documentation is absent, stale, or ignored → Ineffective Knowledge Sharing (ADRs)
  • New hires take too long to ramp up → Poor Onboarding
  • Teams protect information or compete rather than collaborate → "Us vs. Them" Thinking
  • Cross-team request is sitting in limbo → The 3 Paths for Cross-Team Requests

Default Response Shape

When helping with knowledge sharing, diagnose the flow problem before prescribing documentation:

  1. Primary silo cause: horizontal flow, documentation, onboarding, or us-vs-them.
  2. Evidence: what behavior shows the knowledge is not moving.
  3. Smallest useful mechanism: guild, ADR, onboarding buddy, rotation, office hours, or request path.
  4. Owner and cadence: who maintains the mechanism and how often it runs.
  5. Failure mode: how this could become stale bureaucracy and how to prevent 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.
