10
+ # rdc:co-develop — Peer-Aware Co-Development
11
+
12
+ Use this skill when an RDC workflow needs Claude and Codex to work together in
13
+ one governed session. This skill uses the clauth `codevelop_*` route only. Do
14
+ not use `chitchat_*` for this workflow.
15
+
16
+ ## Arguments
17
+
18
+ Use the high-level delegation commands by default:
19
+
20
+ - `rdc:co-develop ask <peer> "<task>"` — delegate to partner and wait for the reply
21
+ - `rdc:co-develop reply <turn-id> "<summary>"` — reply to a partner request with evidence
22
+ - `rdc:co-develop inbox` — drain your inbox when you are explicitly acting as the worker
23
+
24
+ - `rdc:co-develop start <name>` — create a session and return startup details
25
+ - `rdc:co-develop resume <session-id> --peer <peer-id>` — join as a peer
26
+ - `rdc:co-develop send --session <id> --from <peer> --to <peer> <task>` — send a turn
27
+ - `rdc:co-develop poll --session <id> --peer <peer>` — drain messages for a peer
28
+ - `rdc:co-develop status [session-id]` — show session status and queues
29
+ - `rdc:co-develop stop <session-id>` — stop the session
30
+
31
+ ## Default Delegation Pattern
32
+
33
+ When you need partner help, do not hand-write `/codevelop/send` JSON unless the
34
+ CLI fails. Call the partner like a subagent:
35
+
36
+ ```powershell
37
+ clauth codevelop ask --to codex --wait --task "Review this plan and identify blockers."
38
+ clauth codevelop ask --to claude --wait --task "Review this implementation and advise."
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ `ask --wait` sends the request, captures the `turn_id`, polls the sender inbox,
42
+ and returns the matching partner reply to the current live agent. This preserves
43
+ the sender's active conversation context.
44
+
45
+ When you receive a partner request, complete the bounded task and reply with:
46
+
47
+ ```powershell
48
+ clauth codevelop reply --turn turn-0001 --verdict pass --summary "Reviewed plan." --evidence "Checked files X and Y" --files-changed ""
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ For manual worker intake:
52
+
53
+ ```powershell
54
+ clauth codevelop inbox --peer codex
55
+ clauth codevelop inbox --peer claude
56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ ## Required Transport
59
+
60
+ HTTP routes:
61
+
62
+ ```text
63
+ POST /codevelop/start
64
+ POST /codevelop/join
65
+ POST /codevelop/send
66
+ POST /codevelop/poll
67
+ GET /codevelop/<session-id>/<peer-id>/stream
68
+ GET /codevelop/<session-id>/status
69
+ GET /codevelop
70
+ POST /codevelop/stop
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ MCP tools:
74
+
75
+ ```text
76
+ codevelop_start
77
+ codevelop_join
78
+ codevelop_send
79
+ codevelop_poll
80
+ codevelop_stream
81
+ codevelop_status
82
+ codevelop_stop
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ## Session Roles
86
+
87
+ Default peers:
88
+
89
+ | Peer | Role | Responsibility |
90
+ |---|---|---|
91
+ | `claude` | `supervisor` | RDC loop, work items, validation, integration |
92
+ | `codex` | `implementation_partner` | implementation, focused audit, repair, evidence |
93
+
94
+ Other valid turn roles: `planner`, `builder`, `reviewer`, `validator`,
95
+ `advisor`, `release_guard`, `infra_operator`.
96
+
97
+ ## Message Envelope
98
+
99
+ Always send structured JSON. The receiving peer must treat the JSON object as
100
+ the source of truth.
101
+
102
+ ```json
103
+ {
104
+ "session_id": "<session-id>",
105
+ "turn_id": "turn-0001",
106
+ "from": "claude",
107
+ "to": "codex",
108
+ "type": "audit_request",
109
+ "role": "reviewer",
110
+ "skill": "rdc:review",
111
+ "task": "Audit the current diff for regressions before merge.",
112
+ "context": {

114
+ "work_item_id": "<optional-uuid>",
115
+ "branch": "develop",
116
+ "owned_files": []
117
+ },
118
+ "expect": {
119
+ "response_format": "CO_DEVELOP_REPLY",
120
+ "evidence_required": true,
121
+ "commit_allowed": false
122
+ }
123
+ }
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ Required reply shape:
127
+
128
+ ```json
129
+ {
130
+ "session_id": "<session-id>",
131
+ "turn_id": "turn-0001",
132
+ "from": "codex",
133
+ "to": "claude",
134
+ "type": "reply",
135
+ "verdict": "pass",
136
+ "summary": "One paragraph.",
137
+ "evidence": [],
138
+ "files_changed": [],
139
+ "commits": [],
140
+ "blockers": [],
141
+ "next": []
142
+ }
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ ## Escalation Rules
146
+
147
+ Invoke co-development when:
148
+
149
+ - Dave asks for partner review, audit, second opinion, or co-development
150
+ - a task crosses multiple apps, packages, repos, APIs, database surfaces, or deployment surfaces
151
+ - `rdc:plan` creates 5 or more work packages, or 3 or more work packages with integration risk
152
+ - `rdc:build` has file overlap or integration risk
153
+ - `rdc:review` finds failures that need judgment
154
+ - the same implementation, test, build, deploy, or migration path fails twice
155
+ - architecture, auth, deployment, schema, source-of-truth, or bridge-mode interpretation is uncertain
156
+ - a production-facing release path is about to proceed
157
+
158
+ Do not invoke by default for simple read-only explanations, one-line command
159
+ output, one-file typo fixes, or already decomposed low-risk work.
160
+
161
+ ## Workflow
162
+
163
+ 1. Start or resume a session with `codevelop_start` / `codevelop_join`.
164
+ 2. Join the local peer with a stable `peer_id`.
165
+ 3. Delegate with `clauth codevelop ask --to <partner> --wait --task "<task>"`.
166
+ 4. Treat the returned JSON as the partner result and continue your active work.
167
+ 5. If acting as the worker, drain inbox with `clauth codevelop inbox --peer <you>`.
168
+ 6. Reply with `clauth codevelop reply --turn <turn-id> ...`.
169
+ 7. Record evidence in the calling RDC skill report or work-item implementation report.
170
+ 8. Stop the session with `codevelop_stop` when the work is done.
171
+
172
+ ## Completion Evidence
173
+
174
+ Every co-development turn must report:
175
+
176
+ - session ID and turn ID
177
+ - peer IDs
178
+ - files changed
179
+ - commands/tests/routes checked
180
+ - commits, if any
181
+ - blockers or decisions needed
182
+ - next action

20
-
21
- ## When to Use
22
- - Project lead wants to delegate a task to a claude.ai session
23
- - You need bidirectional relay between this CLI agent and a claude.ai coworker
24
- - An async work handoff is in progress via the chitchat relay
25
-
26
- ## Arguments
27
-
28
- - `rdc:collab --session <id>` — start or resume a collab relay with the given session ID
29
-
30
- ## What This Is
31
-
32
- claude.ai writes tasks into your inbox via `chitchat_send`. The clauth daemon
33
- queues them and — if you are connected to the SSE stream — pushes the event
34
- immediately (zero-latency). You read, act, commit, reply via `chitchat_reply`,
35
- and loop. Dave can watch everything in this terminal and interject by typing —
36
- treat anything Dave types as a high-priority override.
37
-
38
- ---
39
-
40
- ## Step 1 — Parse session ID
41
-
42
- Extract `--session <uuid>` from args.
43
-
44
- If no `--session`, call `chitchat_list` and show all active sessions.
45
-
46
- ---
47
-
48
- ## Step 2 — Initialize (chitchat-native)
49
-
50
- Call `chitchat_list` to verify the session exists in the daemon.
51
-
52
- If the session is not found:
53
- ```
54
- Session <id> not found in clauth daemon.
55
- Start a session from claude.ai first:
56
- chitchat_start(name: "<session-slug>")
57
- Then pass the returned session_id here.
58
- ```
59
-
60
- Send the ready signal via MCP:
61
- ```
62
- chitchat_reply(session_id, "Claude Code connected. Ready to receive tasks.\ncwd: <rootPath>")
63
- ```
64
-
65
- Print to terminal:
66
- ```
67
- [rdc:collab] Session <id> active (chitchat transport).
68
- SSE stream: http://127.0.0.1:52437/chitchat/<id>/stream
69
- Waiting for messages from claude.ai... (Ctrl+C to end)
70
- ```
71
-
72
- Note: File relay at `.rdc/relay/sessions/` is kept for backwards compatibility
73
- but is no longer the primary transport. Chitchat MCP + SSE is the default.
74
-
75
- ---
76
-
77
- ## Step 3 — Wait for message (SSE-first, poll-fallback)
78
-
79
- ### Primary path — SSE (zero-latency)
80
-
81
- Connect to the SSE stream and wait for the daemon to push a message:
82
-
83
- ```bash
84
- curl -s -N --max-time 30 http://127.0.0.1:52437/chitchat/<session_id>/stream
85
- ```
86
-
87
- The stream emits:
88
- - `event: message` lines with `data: <JSON>` when `chitchat_send` fires from claude.ai
89
- - `: keepalive` comment lines every 15s (ignore these)
90
-
91
- **When a `data:` event arrives:** parse the JSON directly — it contains the
92
- message. The SSE stream drains the inbox as it delivers; do NOT call
93
- `chitchat_poll` after receiving via SSE. Proceed directly to Step 4 with the
94
- parsed message body.
95
-
96
- **If 30s elapses with no message event (only keepalives or silence):**
97
- Print `[rdc:collab] Still listening...` and retry SSE immediately. After 10
98
- consecutive 30s timeouts (5 min idle), print a longer heartbeat but keep
99
- looping.
100
-
101
- **If curl fails (daemon restart, connection refused, non-200):** fall back to
102
- polling path below.
103
-
104
- ### Fallback path — polling (2s interval)
105
-
106
- Use this path only when SSE is unavailable:
107
-
108
- ```
109
- loop:
110
- result = chitchat_poll(session_id)
111
- if result.status == "ready":
112
- → proceed to Step 4 with result.message
113
- else (status == "idle"):
114
- wait 2 seconds
115
- continue loop
116
- ```
117
-
118
- **`chitchat_poll` return shapes:**
119
- - `{ status: "idle" }` — inbox empty, keep polling
120
- - `{ status: "ready", message: "..." }` — message waiting, consume it
121
-
122
- ---
123
-
124
- ## Step 4 — Process message
125
-
126
- You now have the message body (from SSE `data:` JSON or `chitchat_poll` result).
127
-
128
- Check if the message begins with `type: stop` (literal prefix) or contains a
129
- `type` field equal to `"stop"` in the JSON.
130
-
131
- **`type: stop`** → go to Step 7.
132
-
133
- **Anything else (default: task/message):**
134
-
135
- Print to terminal:
136
- ```
137
- [rdc:collab] Turn <N> from claude.ai:
138
- ──────────────────────────────────────
139
- <message body>
140
- ──────────────────────────────────────
141
- ```
142
-
143
- ---
144
-
145
- ## Step 5 — Do the work
146
-
147
- Act on the message. Full Claude Code capabilities:
148
- - File edits, git commits to `develop`
149
- - Supabase RPC queries
150
- - Type-checks: `npx tsc --noEmit` (never `pnpm build`)
151
- - Run skills: `/rdc:plan`, `/rdc:fixit`, etc.
152
- - Answer questions directly
153
-
154
- Follow `.rdc/guides/agent-bootstrap.md` rules throughout.
155
-
156
- For long tasks, stream progress updates mid-work:
157
- ```
158
- chitchat_reply(session_id, "Turn <N> in progress: <what you've done so far>...")
159
- ```
160
- This lets claude.ai see progress immediately rather than waiting for the full
161
- response.
162
-
163
- ---
164
-
165
- ## Step 6 — Send response
166
-
167
- When work is done, send the response via MCP:
168
-
169
- ```
170
- chitchat_reply(session_id, "<response body>")
171
- ```
172
-
173
- Response body format:
174
- ```
175
- Turn <N> complete.
176
- Commits: <sha1, sha2 or none>
177
-
178
- <what you did, what you found, any questions or decisions needed from claude.ai>
179
- ```
180
-
181
- Print to terminal:
182
- ```
183
- [rdc:collab] Turn <N> done. Response sent via chitchat_reply.
184
- Waiting for next message...
185
- ```
186
-
187
- Return to Step 3.
188
-
189
- ---
190
-
191
- ## Step 7 — End session
192
-
193
- Received `type: stop` message, or Dave pressed Ctrl+C.
194
-
195
- Send final summary via MCP:
196
- ```
197
- chitchat_reply(session_id, "Session complete.\nTurns: <N>\nCommits: <list or none>\nOpen items: <anything unresolved>")
198
- ```
199
-
200
- Then call:
201
- ```
202
- chitchat_stop(session_id)
203
- ```
204
-
205
- Print:
206
- ```
207
- [rdc:collab] Session ended.
208
- ```
209
-
210
- ---
211
-
212
- ## Dave Interjections
213
-
214
- If Dave types in this terminal during a turn:
215
- - Treat it as an override injected into the current task
216
- - Acknowledge it in your `chitchat_reply` response
217
- - If it changes direction mid-task, note what you stopped and why

20
+
21
+ ## When to Use
22
+ - Project lead wants to delegate a task to a claude.ai session
23
+ - You need bidirectional relay between this CLI agent and a claude.ai coworker
24
+ - An async work handoff is in progress via the chitchat relay
25
+
26
+ ## Arguments
27
+
28
+ - `rdc:collab --session <id>` — start or resume a collab relay with the given session ID
29
+
30
+ ## What This Is
31
+
32
+ claude.ai writes tasks into your inbox via `chitchat_send`. The clauth daemon
33
+ queues them and — if you are connected to the SSE stream — pushes the event
34
+ immediately (zero-latency). You read, act, commit, reply via `chitchat_reply`,
35
+ and loop. Dave can watch everything in this terminal and interject by typing —
36
+ treat anything Dave types as a high-priority override.
37
+
38
+ ---
39
+
40
+ ## Step 1 — Parse session ID
41
+
42
+ Extract `--session <uuid>` from args.
43
+
44
+ If no `--session`, call `chitchat_list` and show all active sessions.
45
+
46
+ ---
47
+
48
+ ## Step 2 — Initialize (chitchat-native)
49
+
50
+ Call `chitchat_list` to verify the session exists in the daemon.
51
+
52
+ If the session is not found:
53
+ ```
54
+ Session <id> not found in clauth daemon.
55
+ Start a session from claude.ai first:
56
+ chitchat_start(name: "<session-slug>")
57
+ Then pass the returned session_id here.
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ Send the ready signal via MCP:
61
+ ```
62
+ chitchat_reply(session_id, "Claude Code connected. Ready to receive tasks.\ncwd: <rootPath>")
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ Print to terminal:
66
+ ```
67
+ [rdc:collab] Session <id> active (chitchat transport).
68
+ SSE stream: http://127.0.0.1:52437/chitchat/<id>/stream
69
+ Waiting for messages from claude.ai... (Ctrl+C to end)
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ Note: File relay at `.rdc/relay/sessions/` is kept for backwards compatibility
73
+ but is no longer the primary transport. Chitchat MCP + SSE is the default.
74
+
75
+ ---
76
+
77
+ ## Step 3 — Wait for message (SSE-first, poll-fallback)
78
+
79
+ ### Primary path — SSE (zero-latency)
80
+
81
+ Connect to the SSE stream and wait for the daemon to push a message:
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ curl -s -N --max-time 30 http://127.0.0.1:52437/chitchat/<session_id>/stream
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ The stream emits:
88
+ - `event: message` lines with `data: <JSON>` when `chitchat_send` fires from claude.ai
89
+ - `: keepalive` comment lines every 15s (ignore these)
90
+
91
+ **When a `data:` event arrives:** parse the JSON directly — it contains the
92
+ message. The SSE stream drains the inbox as it delivers; do NOT call
93
+ `chitchat_poll` after receiving via SSE. Proceed directly to Step 4 with the
94
+ parsed message body.
95
+
96
+ **If 30s elapses with no message event (only keepalives or silence):**
97
+ Print `[rdc:collab] Still listening...` and retry SSE immediately. After 10
98
+ consecutive 30s timeouts (5 min idle), print a longer heartbeat but keep
99
+ looping.
100
+
101
+ **If curl fails (daemon restart, connection refused, non-200):** fall back to
102
+ polling path below.
103
+
104
+ ### Fallback path — polling (2s interval)
105
+
106
+ Use this path only when SSE is unavailable:
107
+
108
+ ```
109
+ loop:
110
+ result = chitchat_poll(session_id)
111
+ if result.status == "ready":
112
+ → proceed to Step 4 with result.message
113
+ else (status == "idle"):
114
+ wait 2 seconds
115
+ continue loop
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ **`chitchat_poll` return shapes:**
119
+ - `{ status: "idle" }` — inbox empty, keep polling
120
+ - `{ status: "ready", message: "..." }` — message waiting, consume it
121
+
122
+ ---
123
+
124
+ ## Step 4 — Process message
125
+
126
+ You now have the message body (from SSE `data:` JSON or `chitchat_poll` result).
127
+
128
+ Check if the message begins with `type: stop` (literal prefix) or contains a
129
+ `type` field equal to `"stop"` in the JSON.
130
+
131
+ **`type: stop`** → go to Step 7.
132
+
133
+ **Anything else (default: task/message):**
134
+
135
+ Print to terminal:
136
+ ```
137
+ [rdc:collab] Turn <N> from claude.ai:
138
+ ──────────────────────────────────────
139
+ <message body>
140
+ ──────────────────────────────────────
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ ---
144
+
145
+ ## Step 5 — Do the work
146
+
147
+ Act on the message. Full Claude Code capabilities:
148
+ - File edits, git commits to `develop`
149
+ - Supabase RPC queries
150
+ - Type-checks: `npx tsc --noEmit` (never `pnpm build`)
151
+ - Run skills: `/rdc:plan`, `/rdc:fixit`, etc.
152
+ - Answer questions directly
153
+
154
+ Follow `.rdc/guides/agent-bootstrap.md` rules throughout.
155
+
156
+ For long tasks, stream progress updates mid-work:
157
+ ```
158
+ chitchat_reply(session_id, "Turn <N> in progress: <what you've done so far>...")
159
+ ```
160
+ This lets claude.ai see progress immediately rather than waiting for the full
161
+ response.
162
+
163
+ ---
164
+
165
+ ## Step 6 — Send response
166
+
167
+ When work is done, send the response via MCP:
168
+
169
+ ```
170
+ chitchat_reply(session_id, "<response body>")
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ Response body format:
174
+ ```
175
+ Turn <N> complete.
176
+ Commits: <sha1, sha2 or none>
177
+
178
+ <what you did, what you found, any questions or decisions needed from claude.ai>
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ Print to terminal:
182
+ ```
183
+ [rdc:collab] Turn <N> done. Response sent via chitchat_reply.
184
+ Waiting for next message...
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ Return to Step 3.
188
+
189
+ ---
190
+
191
+ ## Step 7 — End session
192
+
193
+ Received `type: stop` message, or Dave pressed Ctrl+C.
194
+
195
+ Send final summary via MCP:
196
+ ```
197
+ chitchat_reply(session_id, "Session complete.\nTurns: <N>\nCommits: <list or none>\nOpen items: <anything unresolved>")
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ Then call:
201
+ ```
202
+ chitchat_stop(session_id)
203
+ ```
204
+
205
+ Print:
206
+ ```
207
+ [rdc:collab] Session ended.
208
+ ```
209
+

212
+ ## Dave Interjections
213
+
214
+ If Dave types in this terminal during a turn:
215
+ - Treat it as an override injected into the current task
216
+ - Acknowledge it in your `chitchat_reply` response
217
+ - If it changes direction mid-task, note what you stopped and why
