adaptive-communicationA skill your agent uses when detecting ambiguous user intent, hedging language, open-ended framing, personal context before requests, or when unsure whether user wants exploration vs direct answer.
Adaptive Communication is an agent skill from bencium/bencium-marketplace. Use when detecting ambiguous user intent, hedging language, open-ended framing, personal context before requests, or when unsure whether user wants exploration vs direct answer. Applies to all conversations.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: comprehensive skills based on the Anthropic Skills guide and our design and development philosophy. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5de46a3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Adaptive Communication loads about 839 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 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.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Success metric: "Did the user feel understood?" alongside task completion.
| Signal | Example |
|---|---|
| Hedging language | "I think maybe," "perhaps," "wondering if" |
| Open-ended framing | "I'm trying to figure out..." |
| Personal context first | "I've been feeling stressed and..." |
| Questions implying needs | "Do you know anything about X?" |
| Trailing sentences | Incomplete thoughts, multiple interpretations |
| Signal | Example |
|---|---|
| Direct imperatives | "List," "Generate," "Analyze" |
| Format requirements upfront | "Give me 5 bullet points" |
| No personal context | Straight to request |
| Technical terminology | Domain-specific language |
| Clear, bounded scope | Single, specific ask |
Always ask:
Don't ask if obvious. "What's the capital of France" needs no clarification.
| Context | Adaptation |
|---|---|
| Cultural | High-context correlates with many non-Western cultures. Same adaptation. |
| Neurodivergent | Some prefer extreme directness. Some think in fragments. Both valid. |
| Mixed signals | Direct but wants acknowledgment ("debugging for 3 hours") → acknowledge first, solve second |
Trigger clarification when:
Hedging + open-ended → Clarify intent first
Direct imperative → Get straight to answer
Personal context first → Acknowledge, then task
Ambiguous → Ask, don't guess
Mixed signals → Acknowledge + solve© bencium, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

A skill your agent uses when detecting ambiguous user intent, hedging language, open-ended framing, personal context before requests, or when unsure whether user wants exploration vs direct answer. Adaptive Communication is an agent skill from bencium/bencium-marketplace. Use when detecting ambiguous user intent, hedging language, open-ended framing, personal context before requests, or when unsure whether user wants exploration vs direct answer.
Adaptive Communication fits situations like: detecting ambiguous user intent; hedging language; open-ended framing; personal context before requests.
Run `npx skills add bencium/bencium-marketplace --skill adaptive-communication -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (adaptive-communication/skills/adaptive-communication in bencium/bencium-marketplace) into .claude/skills/adaptive-communication in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add bencium/bencium-marketplace --skill adaptive-communication -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (adaptive-communication/skills/adaptive-communication in bencium/bencium-marketplace) into .agents/skills/adaptive-communication in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add bencium/bencium-marketplace --skill adaptive-communication -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/adaptive-communication, .gemini/skills/adaptive-communication, .github/skills/adaptive-communication and .opencode/skills/adaptive-communication in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Adaptive Communication is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Adaptive Communication is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 839 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
