ai-collab-protocols

ai-collab-protocols is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 60 tokens per session (828 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A protocol for resolving vague references in AI-assisted work, such as “the pull request Bob mentioned.” It asks for a stable link or file reference and surfaces collaboration problems when relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify references to pull requests, comments, files, bugs, or earlier conversations in multi-person or multi-session workflows.
Why use it?
It prevents the agent from acting on the wrong bug, change, or discussion when several possible references exist.

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

ai-collab-protocols 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 yesterday.

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.

AI collab protocols

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User describes an AI workflow gap or uses an ambiguous cross-session reference such as 'the PR Bob mentioned' or 'that bug from last week'.
Authority Read-only: reply content only; no file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect None; reply content only.
Done Every ambiguous reference resolves to a stable handle; anti-patterns surface when reached.

Inputs

The user's message may contain ambiguous references: names or descriptions without locators, such as "the PR Bob mentioned", "that bug from last week", or "the function we discussed". It may instead describe a workflow gap. When asked, the user may optionally supply a stable handle: a GitHub PR or comment permalink, an MCP resource URI such as @github:pr/owner/repo/123#comment-456, or a file:line reference. The skill fetches and mutates nothing; it asks the user for the handle.

Procedure

  1. Scan the user's message for ambiguous references — a name or description without a locator — or a described workflow gap. If none is present, do not route. Done when: every ambiguous reference or workflow gap is identified.
  2. For each ambiguous reference, stop and ask the user for a stable handle: a GitHub PR/comment permalink, an MCP resource URI (e.g. @github:pr/owner/repo/123#comment-456), or a file:line reference. State why: names are ambiguous in long-context sessions and unrecoverable across sessions, while a stable URL survives compaction and enables exact match. Done when: each reference has a stable handle or is marked unresolved.
  3. Surface one tactic at a time, not a lecture. When the user is handing off multi-session work, recommend leaving a comment on the PR — an addressable, compaction-surviving thread — over a chat-only handoff, so the next session, colleague, or agent can resume without replaying context. Done when: one tactic is surfaced.
  4. When an anti-pattern is reached, surface it: (a) screenshot-only context loses URL grounding, copy-paste, and search — pair every screenshot with its URL or text export; (b) token-usage or lines-of-code framing as a quality proxy — quantity is not capability; surface the rejection. Done when: each reached anti-pattern is named.
  5. Stop once every ambiguous reference has a stable handle and any reached anti-pattern has been named. Do not widen scope or invent handles the user did not supply. Done when: every reference has a handle and reached anti-patterns are named.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

ai-collab-protocols is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 828 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
