Gives an agent a set of working rules for any development task: understand first, surface decisions, verify results, and load deeper reference files per scenario.
Use Trellis channel for live multi-agent collaboration, spawned workers, cross-agent review, progress inspection, forum channels, and channel log debugging.

What it does
Trellis Channel is an agent skill from mindfold-ai/Trellis. Use Trellis channel for live multi-agent collaboration, spawned workers, cross-agent review, progress inspection, forum channels, and channel log debugging.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/command-reference.md`, `references/forum.md` and `references/progress-debugging.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: The best agent harness. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

Example prompts
- “/trellis-channel”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f089cb3. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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
Trellis Channel loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Use Trellis channel for live multi-agent collaboration, spawned workers, cross-agent review, progress inspection, forum channels, and channel log debugging.
trellis-channel
trellis channel is the local multi-agent collaboration runtime. Reach for it when agents need to talk through a durable event log, when a worker should be spawned as a peer process, when an in-flight worker needs interrupt / debugging, or when feedback should be recorded on a durable --type forum channel.
Typical user signals: "和 codex/claude 讨论", "brainstorm with another agent", "spawn an implement/check worker", "let agent review", "open an issue board / changelog forum", "look at this thread", "channel is stuck / no output", "progress was truncated", "how do I write that channel command".
This skill is an index. Load only the reference file for the current job — do not preload all of them.
First Commands
trellis --version
trellis channel --help
trellis channel list --all
trellis channel list --scope global --allIf the user names a channel or thread, inspect it before asking for background:
trellis channel forum <board> --scope global
trellis channel thread <board> <thread> --scope global
trellis channel context list <board> --scope global --thread <thread>Route By User Intent
| User intent | Read |
|---|---|
| "和 codex/claude 讨论一下", "brainstorm with another agent" | references/workflows.md |
| "派一个 implement/check agent", "让 agent review", "spawn a worker" | references/workflows.md, then references/workers.md |
| "开 issue 区 / topic 群 / changelog / board", "make a forum" | references/forum.md |
| "看看这个 thread / linked context", "inspect a thread" | references/forum.md |
| "channel 卡住了 / 没输出 / progress 被截断", "worker stalled" | references/progress-debugging.md |
| "具体命令怎么写", "what flags does X take" | references/command-reference.md |
Core Rules
- New forum channels use
--type forum. Athreadis one item inside a forum channel. - Use
--context-file/--context-rawandtrellis channel context add/delete/list.--linked-context-*is deprecated terminology. - Use
--stdinor--text-filefor long messages. Do not put long mixed Chinese/English text in the positional shell argument. - Pretty
messagesoutput is an operator dashboard and may truncate progress. Use--rawfor audit. --asis the speaker or worker handle, depending on the command. Use explicit, stable names when multiple agents or sessions are involved.--scope project(default) operates on the current cwd's project bucket;--scope globaloperates on the shared__global__bucket. Pick scope deliberately — a global board is invisible from project listings unless--scope globalis passed.- For brainstorm, do multiple pressure-test rounds. One answer plus one confirmation is review, not brainstorm.
- Dispatcher wait pattern: use
--kind done/--kind turn_finished(trellis-emitted system events), NOT a user--tagas the completion signal. CLI help listsphase_done/questionas--tagexamples but onlyinterruptis a reserved tag with hardcoded trellis behavior; the others are opaque user labels. Relying on a worker to runsend --tag <my_signal>is unreliable — LLM workers commonly write the tag string into prose instead of running the actual CLI command. Seereferences/command-reference.md"tag vs kind". - Forum channels are event-sourced. Do not parse
events.jsonlfirst; useforum,thread,messages --thread, andcontext list. @mindfoldhq/trellis-coreowns reusable channel/thread state, event append, seq allocation, context/title projection, reducers, and task helpers. The CLI owns flags, terminal rendering, prompts, worker lifecycle, and process exits.

Not For
- One static review where a markdown file and prompt are enough.
- Replacing normal tool calls with self-logging.
- Long-term memory retrieval. Use durable forum channels for actionable issues, and
trellis mem(thetrellis-session-insightskill) for session/history search.
