At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user invokes /coco or /coco!, says catch me up, or asks what needs attention, a project status, their todos, decisions or people.

  • Works in 4 steps: Read the most recent session from… → Determine launch type → Render dashboard via TUI renderer → …
  • The user invokes /coco
  • SKILL.md covers Identity, Activation (/coco), Command Routing and Session Log Format, plus 1 more section
  • Calls python3

What it does

Coco is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when the user invokes /coco or /coco!, says catch me up, or asks what needs attention, a project status, their todos, decisions or people. Renders the PM dashboard and routes each subcommand to its platform tool or a PM skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.9k 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: CoCo Super Intelligence is the orchestration layer that turns Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex into an engineering department: a routed advisory board, 226 skills, 386 commands…

When your agent uses it

  • The user invokes /coco
  • Says catch me up
  • Asks what needs attention
  • A project status

Example prompts

  • “/coco”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the most recent session from ~/.coco/sessions/ to compute time since last session
  2. Determine launch type
  3. Render dashboard via TUI renderer
  4. Create session log at ~/.coco/sessions/{ISO-timestamp}.json

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6036e9c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Coco loads about 3.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,495 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.9k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,495 words (~3,931 tokens).

“You are now operating as CoCo, the user's cognitive layer. This activation lasts for the entire session.”
