Skills for working with Continuous Coordination from AI-powered tools.
Continuous Coordination is a lightweight methodology for keeping teams, people, and AI agents in sync through two structured loops — team check-ins and recurring goal story updates. These skills help an assistant write code against a CoCo server and compose the updates that flow through those loops.
Each skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md written to the Agent Skills open standard — the same format Claude Code, the Claude apps, and OpenAI Codex all read. Drop a skill into your assistant's skills directory and it loads the right knowledge automatically when a task calls for it (or on demand when you invoke it by name).
| Skill | What it does | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
coco-api |
Write correct code against a CoCo reference server — a PostgREST API over the six schema entities (actors, teams, team check-ins, goal stories, goal story updates, coordination events). Covers running the stack, the localhost:2626 base URL, single-tenant/no-auth, PostgREST query conventions, the live OpenAPI spec, and create flows. |
You're writing scripts, clients, or integrations that hit a self-hosted CoCo server. |
coco-updates |
Write clear, useful team check-ins and goal story updates — adding context beyond the bare activity, right length, unambiguous people references, scannable bullets — and submit them to either a CoCo server or Steady (with the field mapping between the two). This is the what to write skill; coco-api covers how to submit to a server. |
You're drafting or polishing a check-in or goal story update (as a person, or as an agent reporting progress). |
Targeting Steady? Steady is the commercial Continuous Coordination platform — same methodology, a different authenticated API.
coco-updatesalready covers writing content for Steady (and maps the fields). For code against Steady's API or CLI, use the separatesteady-skills(steady-api,steady-cli) instead ofcoco-api.
The same skill folders (under skills/) work across every tool below. The fastest paths are one command each; manual copy/upload still works where there's no CLI.
Add this repo as a plugin marketplace, then install the bundled coco-skills plugin (both skills):
/plugin marketplace add continuouscoordination/coco-skills
/plugin install coco-skills
Claude loads each skill when relevant, or invoke one directly with /coco-api, /coco-updates. Update later with /plugin update coco-skills.

Any host that reads the open Agent Skills format can install with the skills CLI — it discovers both skills under skills/ and writes them to the right place for your agent:
# Personal (all repos) — drop -g for project-local (./<agent>/skills/)
npx skills add continuouscoordination/coco-skills -g
# — or — install a single skill by name
npx skills add continuouscoordination/coco-skills/coco-api -g→ Full reference: Agent Skills — Codex
The apps install skills by upload, not the filesystem. First enable Code Execution and File Creation under Settings → Capabilities (skills require them; available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans). Then upload each skill's SKILL.md under Settings → Features → Skills.
→ Step-by-step: Use skills in Claude
Prefer the filesystem? Clone and copy the folders into any agent's skills directory:
git clone https://github.com/continuouscoordination/coco-skills.git
# Claude Code — personal or project
cp -R coco-skills/skills/coco-* ~/.claude/skills/
# Codex and other .agents hosts
cp -R coco-skills/skills/coco-* ~/.agents/skills/- Schema — JSON Schema definitions for the six entities. Source of truth for shapes.
- Server — runnable PostgREST reference implementation of the schema.
- continuouscoordination.org — the methodology.
- Steady — commercial Continuous Coordination platform.
