What it does
Research Lead Sidecar is an agent skill from cnfjlhj/ai-collab-playbook. Use when the user wants multi-agent division of labor for research-led work and the lead should stay on the critical path while 1-2 bounded sidecars handle low-coupling tasks. Do not use this for tiny tasks, fully sequential debugging, or overlapping refactors.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/dispatch-prompts.md` and `references/role-routing.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: Practical AI collaboration playbook for research, writing, reading, and coding: article, prompts, agent rules, and reusable skills.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Refactoring
Example prompts
- “/research-lead-sidecar”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b3ee0d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Ships 1 file 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
Research Lead Sidecar loads about 842 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 449 words (~842 tokens).
“Use this skill for research-led work where implementation and evidence gathering are coupled, but the main agent should remain the lead. It keeps the critical path local while bounded sidecars handle non-blocking scout, worker, verifier, or writer tasks.”
