At a glance

Egregore mechanics as kernel functions — search shared memory, read team activity, create handoffs, save work, branch, and prepare notification plans without re-deriving bin/ CLI usage.

  • Runs Python scripts from its folder

What it does

Egregore is an agent skill from egregore-labs/egregore. Egregore mechanics as kernel functions — search shared memory, read team activity, create handoffs, save work, branch, and prepare notification plans without re-deriving bin/ CLI usage. Import and call directly; every function wraps the same runtime-neutral bin/ scripts the other harnesses use.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `src/egregore/__init__.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Shared intelligence layer for organizations. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/egregore”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05b8672. 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 script files (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

Egregore loads about 540 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~540

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.

egregore — kernel bridge to Egregore mechanics

Python-backed skill. The module is installed into the kernel venv; call the functions directly instead of grepping bin/ scripts to reconstruct CLI usage:

python
import egregore

egregore.search("pricing decision")          # ranked shared-memory recall
egregore.activity()                          # team activity JSON
egregore.handoff(to="renc", topic="...", body="...")
egregore.save(message="fix(runtime): correct behavior", topic="topic", draft=True)
egregore.branch("new topic")                 # task branch + worktree
egregore.notify_plan(recipient="renc", message="...")  # proposal ONLY

Use draft=True while implementation or review continues. After local QA and review pass, use draft=False to push the final changes and mark the PR ready for CI. Omit draft for normal non-coding auto-merge; omitting it on an existing PR preserves that PR's readiness. These choices follow the work's state and do not require a separate permission checkpoint.

Ground rules:

  • Every function shells out to the corresponding bin/ script with a generous internal timeout and returns its text output. bin/ stays the single mechanics layer — this module contains no logic of its own.
  • notify_plan only CREATES a notification plan. Approval and dispatch remain subject to the explicit human Send / Edit / Cancel checkpoint: show the plan, get the user's approval, then run bin/notify.sh approve / dispatch with the plan's one-use approval token. Never call approve or dispatch without a fresh human yes in this conversation.
  • Functions raise RuntimeError with the script's stderr on failure — report the single relevant line, do not debug the plumbing mid-workflow.
  • help() on the module or any function shows signatures and semantics.

Can I use Egregore in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add egregore-labs/egregore --skill egregore -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/egregore, .gemini/skills/egregore, .github/skills/egregore and .opencode/skills/egregore in your project.

What does Egregore need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Egregore needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Egregore access the network?

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.

Is Egregore safe to install?

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.

What licence does Egregore use?

Egregore is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Egregore use?

About 540 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
