How does this skill maintain conversation context?

The skill utilizes a SESSION_ID system within a bridge script that captures and reuses identifiers to ensure Claude remembers previous turns in the collaboration.

Can Claude directly edit my source code files?

No, this skill is designed for safety and requires Claude to provide Unified Diff Patches ONLY, ensuring you review and verify all changes before they are applied.

How do I prevent shell errors when sending code snippets?

The skill recommends using a heredoc (EOF) pattern to wrap prompts, preventing the shell from interpreting backticks or special characters meant for Claude.

Which Claude models can I use with this skill?

You can specify model aliases like 'sonnet' for routine tasks or 'opus' for high-complexity architectural reviews via the --model parameter.

What is the benefit of the claude_bridge.py script?

The bridge script standardizes output into structured JSON, manages timeouts, handles shell-safe quoting for complex prompts, and automates session management.

Collaboration Tools

Delegates complex coding tasks and code reviews to the Claude Code CLI using a structured, multi-turn session bridge.

About

The Collaborating with Claude Code skill establishes a powerful bridge between your local development environment and the Claude Code CLI, enabling a high-fidelity collaborative workflow. It allows developers to consult Claude for design tradeoffs, debugging assistance, and prototyping while keeping the developer as the primary implementer through Unified Diff proposals. By utilizing a specialized bridge script, the skill maintains session state across multiple turns, optimizes token usage via file-reference handoffs, and ensures safety by preventing direct, unverified file modifications.
