coordination-state

coordination-state is a skill for Claude Code from nikolamin/claude-coordinator-kit. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SQLite-backed coordination system for tasks, events, decisions, questions, work lanes, profiles, and handoffs. SQLite is a file-based database, so the shared coordination record can live in the workspace without extra server software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps teams and coding agents track shared work, decisions, questions, operating information, repository maps, and handoffs across sessions.
Why use it?
It replaces several writable state and planning files with one canonical record and provides commands to initialize, reconcile, read, and update 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

coordination-state 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 28d 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database-backed coordination

The canonical record is <workspace>/.coordinator/coord.db, created by the bundled Python CLI. Python 3.9+ with sqlite3 is required; no pip packages or server are needed. This replaces writable STATE.md, plan.md, decisions, question queues, operating profiles, repo maps and coordination logs. Concept/design/validation artifacts and behavioral instructions remain files. Retired filenames contain compatibility pointers, not parallel state.

Use the script's resolved absolute path and explicit workspace root (which may contain several Git repos). The plugin's SessionStart hook runs migration on startup/resume in recognized coordinator workspaces when supported, enabled and trusted. Codex requires user trust for bundled hooks. If hooks are untrusted, disabled, unavailable, or the workspace is new, bootstrap must run the same ensure --init command before coordination. Never claim migration succeeded from plugin installation alone.

python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/coord.py --root <workspace> ensure --init
python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/coord.py --root <workspace> summary
python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/coord.py --root <workspace> review list

First-run migration

ensure snapshots recognized legacy coordination files and databases, imports original bytes and searchable sections in a transaction, checks integrity and archive bytes, then replaces Markdown sources with pointers. It is idempotent and resumes interrupted cutover. Every original is recoverable with source list / source show ID --output NEW_PATH, as well as from its .coordinator/migrations/ archive. Existing SQLite stores are imported via consistent snapshots; the originals are preserved with .MIGRATED.md pointers and an explicit integration-review item. Repoint their old readers/writers before treating the new database as the sole live backend.

Recognizable checklist/legacy DB records are imported conservatively. Uncertain statuses, free prose, holds/lifts, questions, operating configuration and stop notes require coordinator reconciliation, not guessed approvals. Use review show SECTION_ID, create/update canonical records carrying original requirements/provenance, then review resolve SECTION_ID --note TEXT --refs RECORD_ID .... Use --historical only after verifying that a section has no remaining operational content. Do not dismiss an active constraint simply to clear the queue. Imported needs_review records also need a deliberate status update. summary.ready_for_dispatch must be true before dispatch; it certifies migration readiness, not authorization to run every task.

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.
