At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user asks what the codebase intel knows, or runs /gsd-intel query, status, diff, or refresh.

  • Works in 5 steps: Banner → Config Gate → Parse Argument → …
  • The user asks what the codebase intel knows
  • SKILL.md covers Step 0 -- Banner, Step 1 -- Config Gate, Step 2 -- Parse Argument and Step 3 -- Refresh (Agent Spawn), plus 2 more sections
  • Calls node

What it does

Gsd Intel is an agent skill from coco-research/coco. Use when the user asks what the codebase intel knows, or runs /gsd-intel query, status, diff, or refresh. Queries or rebuilds the .planning/intel/ files, and stops with a disabled message when intel is off in .planning/config.json.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 asks what the codebase intel knows
  • Runs /gsd-intel query

Example prompts

  • “/gsd-intel”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Task

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Banner
  2. Config Gate
  3. Parse Argument
  4. Refresh (Agent Spawn)
  5. Post-Refresh Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ddb559. 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:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Gsd Intel loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Task

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 436 words (~1,268 tokens).

“STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Claude Code's command system. Using the Read tool on this file wastes tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.”
