What it does
Receive is an agent skill from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. Register received or authored project documents by confirmed coordinates, preserve their filenames and provenance, and find or verify registered documents. Use for filing a supplied file/package or locating documents by kind, date, source or revision.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `host-contract.json` and `scripts/commercial.py`).
The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for architecture, real estate, and workplace strategy. Type /skill-name and go. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Filing a supplied file/package
- Locating documents by kind
Example prompts
- “/receive”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, AskUserQuestion

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 657bfd5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBashAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Receive loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 806 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

/as:receive
Before acting, read the host contract, this component's declaration (skill:receive), and applicable workspace semantics. Load only the required modes from the shared catalog.
<!-- architecture-studio:harness-compatibility -->Use the host adapter and available native tools or ordinary task-specific code. Operation names identify the semantic work in the workspace model, not installed functions or a script API. Resolve canonical context before durable work. No Arch Studio runner, package installation or executable reconstruction is required. Existing exact authorization persists; ask only for material missing information or missing permission.
Own the semantic procedure that writes DOCUMENTS.csv; other authored-record skills apply the same specification directly without a nested skill invocation or installed library. Classification is harness judgment. Native tools compute and verify paths, identities, hashes, collisions and publication/recovery evidence under the workspace contract.
Before changing records
Before persistent changes, follow the native mutation sequence: Inspect → Prepare → Verify preparation → Apply → Verify result → Complete. Inspect pending work first. Finish and verify preparation before the first canonical write: separately reread every saved original and prepared file, check its complete actual bytes, establish durable saving, and inspect actual permissions, ownership and ACLs. Merely writing recovery files does not finish verification. Apply only that verified set. Mark complete only after fresh readback validates the entire affected result and its relationships. Read-only requests and inline drafts need no publication sequence.
The affected set for registration is the complete destination file/package plus DOCUMENTS.csv; retain source originals and destination absence as guards. A move includes the destination, original path, every referring file requiring a rewrite, and DOCUMENTS.csv. Metadata-only updates change only DOCUMENTS.csv. Include all affected originals/preparations before any member is published; referenced sources remain read guards, not additional write targets.
Receive
- Resolve one new-model project and, when applicable, its explicitly registered studio. Ask for missing phase, stage, scope, originator, document date and kind, proposing evidence-based defaults. Previously confirmed coordinates need no repeated question. Dates preserve known precision; never use arrival date as an unknown issue date.
- For files, use the actual accessible source. For a mailbox attachment or expiring download, the host acquires the authorized original to scratch, preserving message/download identity and expiry in
source; no mailbox capability is implied by this skill. If unavailable, give a bounded handoff or use a supplied disk file. A URL-only source is provenance, not a locally received file. - Resolve placement under
documents.resolveusing confirmed coordinates and kind. The firm template owns placement. With an empty template, ask for the intended project-relative folder. Never rename received files. A folder/package retains its internal tree, including empty directories; an archive may remain a registered archive or be safely extracted by the host and received as a package. Sidecars and a sheet index are separate registered documents only when actually produced from available evidence; parsing is not invented by registration. - Preview registration when its exact intent is not already authorized: source path, destination, coordinates, metadata, duplicate hashes and any explicit
supersedesID. Apply the receive-owned native registration procedure within existing authorization; a preview neither allocates an identity nor proves write access. Registration copies from the source; it does not erase the original. Differing content at the destination is a collision requiring a distinct explicit revision, never silent overwrite. - Read back the row and actual file. Report document ID, relative path, hash, provenance and any unperformed content/visual inspection.

Find, move and inspect
documents.queryfilters by ID/kind/coordinates, arrival date (since), change ID, source type or expiry.latestselects the latest unsuperseded match using document date; it does not certify substantive approval or current-code applicability. Report ambiguity in the selection scope before relying on one result.documents.moverequires ID, current expected SHA-256 and confirmed new coordinates. It preserves ID and source filename, updates supported relative Markdown links and affected hashes/history, and never overwrites a target. A necessary rewrite of issued/accepted bytes refuses before mutation; do not reseal terms. Unrelated existing drift remains unresolved; a changed document that needs a link rewrite blocks the move. Preview first when the exact destination is not already authorized. Reopen moved outputs and inspect relevant links.documents.updatechanges explicit status/provenance/title/notes without changing identity, bytes or revision relationships. Revised content is received as a new document withsupersedes.documents.verifyreports unreceived files, missing files, changed hashes, duplicate hashes, expired sources and template/vocabulary findings. Findings remain explicit; do not repair by guessing.- Before multi-file publication, preserve the exact prior/prepared set and discoverable pending recovery evidence.
documents.recoverinspects actual state and resumes or restores only with fresh conflict guards; never replay a backup blindly. Cooperating locks do not exclude external editors. Verify actual staged bytes and access metadata before complete-file publication, then reread the entire affected set.
A document spanning phases remains one row at its primary confirmed phase, with other phases in notes, unless the original is physically split. Received evidence does not silently promote project facts, decisions, tasks, time or commercial acceptance.
