Your software-engineering brain trust. An agent skill from coco-research/coco.

  • Tasks that involve Site reliability engineering
  • SKILL.md covers What this team is for, Cells (11), Personas (70 native) and Cross-listed from the AI team…, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls python3
  • Tasks that involve Cloud architecture

What it does

Engineering Super Intelligence is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Your software-engineering brain trust. Named personas across 11 cells covering cloud architecture, reliability/SRE/observability, data and storage, security, FinOps, languages and runtimes, systems programming, web and frontend…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 230 other files, including scripts (for example `ROSTER.md`, `VALIDATION-OFFLINE.md` and `cells/ai-assisted-coding.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Site reliability engineering, Cloud architecture and Cloud cost optimization. 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

  • Tasks that involve Site reliability engineering
  • Tasks that involve Cloud architecture
  • Tasks that involve Cloud cost optimization

Example prompts

  • “/engineering-super-intelligence”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Engineering Super Intelligence loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,062 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,062 words (~3,399 tokens).

“Your software-engineering brain trust and decision-making partner. 70 named native personas across 11 cells — drawn from the people who built the cloud, the databases, the languages, the runtimes, the web platform, the security and reliability disciplines, the DevOps movement…”
