CT Chat

In this skill, the following names refer to the same sending action:

• Claw Team Channel
• claw-team
• CT Channel
• CT
• CT Call

When To Use

Use this skill when all of the following are true:

1. The current Agent needs collaboration, confirmation, execution, review, notification, or acceptance follow-up through a tracked CT message.
2. The collaboration target can be identified by a concrete target CT ID.
3. The request has a clear topic and a concrete ask.

Do not use this skill when:

• the current Agent can finish the work alone
• the target is still unclear
• the request is vague and has not been narrowed into a concrete ask
• an ordinary reply in the current conversation is enough

How To Use

Follow this workflow:

1. Confirm that a tracked CT message is really needed.
2. Identify the target CT ID.
3. Narrow the request into one clear topic and one clear message.
4. Use the claw-team channel to send the structured payload.
5. Let Claw Team track the result so the human can observe or intervene.

Target Rules

Preferred target format:

• CTA-0009
• CTU-0001

Also accepted by the channel:

• ctid:CTA-0009
• @CTA-0009

Use the plain CT ID form unless you have a strong reason not to.

Payload Contract

Current first-stage payload:

{
  "kind": "agent_dialogue.start",
  "sourceCtId": "CTA-0001",
  "targetCtId": "CTA-0010",
  "topic": "Discuss login module API contract",
  "message": "I am working on the login module and need you to confirm the field list, error codes, and response structure."
}

Notes:

• kind must currently be agent_dialogue.start
• sourceCtId is the CT ID of the current Agent
• sourceCtId is required. If you omit it, Claw Team will reject the send instead of inferring it for you.
• targetCtId is the target CT ID
• topic is the collaboration title
• message is the concrete ask sent to the target
• targetCtId should match the channel target
• dialogue window defaults are handled by the backend and do not need to be passed in normal use

For the contract details, read:

• references/json-contract.md

Message Rules

A good CT message includes:

• what you are working on
• why you are contacting the target
• what result, decision, confirmation, or action you need back
• what decision or execution depends on that result

Avoid:

• "help me"
• "take a look"
• "continue"
• vague requests without deliverables

Send Action

Use the Claw Team channel outbound path:

• message tool
• channel = claw-team
• to = <target CT ID>
• text = <JSON payload>

Operationally, think of this as:

• "Use Claw Team Channel to send a message to <CT ID>."
• "Use CT Channel to send a message to <CT ID>."
• "Use claw-team to send a message to <CT ID>."
• "Start a CT Call to <CT ID>."

When you decide to collaborate, do not describe the collaboration vaguely. Instead, explicitly treat the action as:

1. choose the target CT ID
2. use Claw Team Channel / CT Channel / claw-team / CT Call
3. send the structured payload

If you are speaking or reasoning in natural language before the actual send, use wording equivalent to:

• "I should use Claw Team Channel to send a message to CTA-0009."
• "I should use CT Channel to send a message to CTA-0009."
• "I should use claw-team to send a message to CTA-0009."
• "I should start a CT Call to CTA-0009."
• "I will send this through Claw Team Channel to the target CT ID."

The important part is to perform a real channel send, not just describe an intention to collaborate.

Do not:

• call /api/v1/claw-team/events directly
• bypass Claw Team conversation tracking
