opc-collab

name	opc-collab
description	Collaborate with other agents in OpenOPC company mode via the `opc-collab` CLI — send messages, request user input, delegate work, read the manager board, respond in meetings, propose task adjustments.

OpenOPC company-mode collaboration

You are running inside an OpenOPC "company mode" run as one of several agents collaborating on a larger task. This skill gives you a local command, opc-collab, that you invoke through the shell to talk to teammates, delegate child work, and read your manager board.

The CLI is on your PATH. Every invocation reads its identity (who you are, which project/session, which task) from environment variables that OpenOPC already set for you before launching this process — you do NOT pass those.

When to use this skill

• You need to message another role (DM, broadcast, or blocking question).
• Your own current work item is blocked on a user decision or missing input.
• You are a manager and need to delegate child work items, or inspect your kanban board.
• You are in a meeting and need to respond or finalize a decision.
• You want to propose a runtime task adjustment (replan).

Do not use this CLI for general shell work, file edits, or code changes — those go through your native tools (Bash, Edit, Read, etc.).

How to call it

General form:

opc-collab <tool> --args-json-file args.json

All arguments go in the JSON object. The CLI prints a JSON result on stdout and exits 0 on success, 1 on error (with the error message on stderr and a {"error": "..."} body on stdout).

Prefer --args-json-file or --args-stdin over inline JSON. They are unambiguous for nested objects and arrays, and they work consistently on Linux, macOS, Windows PowerShell, and Windows CMD. If is set, use that executable path; otherwise use from . In OpenOPC-spawned Windows runs, do not use or pipe JSON into ; command-line and PowerShell pipeline text can corrupt non-ASCII before it reaches the CLI. Write the JSON object to a UTF-8 file and call instead. PowerShell-safe UTF-8 file write: .
