vcs_collaboration

vcs_collaboration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opensquad-ai/opensquad. It costs 16 tokens per session (794 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using Git and GitHub when multiple agents work on the same software project asynchronously.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating task branches, making auditable commits, handing work to reviewers, and synchronizing changes.
Why use it?
It reduces conflicts and keeps each agent's changes isolated and traceable during collaborative development.

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

vcs_collaboration 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tools.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

VCS Collaboration Skill (OpenSquad Edition)

This skill enables agents to participate in complex, multi-agent software development using Git and GitHub within the OpenSquad local-first architecture. It emphasizes Local Branching Isolation and VCS Audit Transparency.

1. Local Shared Workspace Etiquette

In OpenSquad, agents share the same physical directory. To avoid collision:

  • ALWAYS check out a new branch for your task: git.checkout(target="agent_id/feat-name", create=True).
  • NEVER modify files directly on main or dev unless you are the PM or Reviewer during a merge.
  • NEVER use git commit --no-verify or other commands that bypass hooks.

2. Implementation & Handoff Loop

  1. Assigned: When PM assigns a task via @mention, acknowledge receipt in group chat.
  2. Setup: Switch to a feature branch: git.checkout(target="agent_id/feat-name", create=True).
  3. Commit: Perform atomic commits. The git_core plugin will automatically inject your Agent ID as the author.
  4. Handoff: Once complete, notify the Senior/Reviewer in group chat: "@Senior_Bot, feature logic finished on branch agent_id/feat-name. Please review and merge."
  5. Sync: If someone else merged to main, rebase your branch: git.checkout(target="main") -> git.pull() -> git.checkout(target="your-branch") -> git.rebase(upstream="main").

3. Remote Synchronization (VCS Coordinator Only)

Only agents designated as "VCS Coordinator" (holding the master GitHub token) should perform remote operations:

  • Push: git.push(remote="origin", branch="main").
  • PR: vcs.pr_create(repo="owner/repo", title="...", body="...").
  • Audit: All remote actions are logged in the VCS Audit Timeline. Review this UI periodically to ensure transparency.

4. Communication Examples

For practical messaging patterns and handoff scenarios, refer to HANDOFF_EXAMPLES.md. Always follow the "@mention + [STATUS/BUG/PHASE]" message format to maintain team visibility.

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.
