Dong-skills
Workflows for scoped agent tasks, writer handoffs, and verified cross-review.
01The project
Claude Code and Codex can hand work to other coding agents through Turnweft and review each other's changes. Dong-skills defines the task scope, file ownership, cross-review, and acceptance checks that organize this collaboration.
02The problem
When several agents work on one project, unclear ownership can lead to overlapping edits, repeated reviews, and conclusions based on an old artifact. A completed tool call can also leave the actual task unfinished.
03Key decisions
Dong-skills makes the collaboration explicit: assign each agent a bounded task, hand off writing before another agent edits, verify review findings against the current artifact, and close the task with the required checks. How each tool works is left to the tool itself, so the workflows keep up with its current capabilities.
04My contribution
- Claude-Codex mutual review: assign design, implementation, verification, and integration for the current task. Either host can implement or run checks when assigned and supported; role changes include a confirmed writer handoff.
- Turnweft collaboration: hand one bounded implementation, review, or diagnosis from Claude Code or Codex to Dim, Droid, Grok, OpenCode, or agy, continue the same agent session for follow-ups, and check the changed files and results before accepting them.
05Design in practice
From assignment to acceptance
A typical task starts with one implementer and a reviewer who checks a pinned change. If the user changes the assignment, the next agent receives the current changes, the task record, remaining edits, and checks already performed. Several agents can edit the same file sequentially without becoming competing writers.
Review ends when the required evidence is complete and verified in-scope blockers are resolved. New rounds need a relevant change, new evidence, an incomplete result, or an explicit request. Disagreements return to the source and reproducible checks.
Evidence follows the artifact
For code, documents, and visual deliverables, the workflow records what was actually inspected. A source read, a rendered page, an OCR extract, and a production visit support different claims. Changes invalidate affected conclusions; unchanged evidence can be retained when an inspected diff or hash supports it.
Publication belongs to the authorized integrator, who follows the project’s release process and checks the actual user entry point. The public skills contain reusable guidance; private session records remain local.
Tools and workflows
Tools connect the agents; skills organize the collaboration. Turnweft lets Claude Code and Codex hand work to Dim, Droid, Grok, OpenCode, and agy in the real project and continue the same session later. The Claude–Codex mutual-review workflow uses a separate third-party plugin.
06Outcome and current stage
Two portable collaboration skills · Claude–Codex mutual review and delegation through Turnweft · task-based roles, result checks, and an installation checker
Technical details & evidence
Role · Sole author — collaboration workflows, task boundaries, review protocol, and verification guidance
- A task packet pins the worktree, base revision, allowed files, roles, acceptance criteria, and evidence. Before another agent writes, the previous writer stops and its diff is reconciled, including shared tests and generated files.
- A findings ledger separates accepted, rejected, and narrowed claims from open and closed issues. Follow-up review checks repairs and affected behavior; reaching a review budget never approves an unresolved blocker.
- Critical acceptance checks use an independent expected result. Artifact reviews identify the source revision, generated output, and inspected page or region, distinguishing original material from OCR or summaries.
- A checker compares installed skills with this repository and reports anything missing, changed, or extra. Local differences are reconciled before installed copies are updated.
