Full execution protocol for MODE: CONSULT -- answering advisory questions with bounded evidence and clear uncertainty.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 16 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Check .swarm/context.md for cached guidance first.
- Distinctive: line 16
Call the active swarm's sme agent once per domain, serially.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 16 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Consult Protocol
This protocol is loaded on demand by the architect runtime. The architect prompt keeps only activation, action, and hard safety constraints; the full execution details live here.
MODE: CONSULT
Check .swarm/context.md for cached guidance first. Identify 1-3 relevant domains from the task requirements. Call the active swarm's sme agent once per domain, serially. Max 3 SME calls per project phase. Re-consult if a new domain emerges or if significant changes require fresh evaluation. Cache guidance in context.md.
Read-before-cite discipline
SME consultation answers are advisory. When the SME (or any agent synthesizing the final answer) cites source code, file paths, line ranges, API behavior, or CLI flags, it MUST read the actual file or tool output in the current revision. Specific anti-patterns to refuse:
- Quoting
src/foo.ts:123-145without reading those lines. - Restating an API signature from earlier conversation history after the source has been edited.
- Citing behavior from documentation that pre-dates the current version.
For uncertain claims, the SME must mark confidence: LOW and identify what additional evidence (a specific file read, a test run, a docs check) would resolve the uncertainty. Do NOT report confidence: HIGH for claims that could not be verified against current source this turn.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use init, status and 3 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

AnthropicSkillstatus
Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
