Collab modes

Skill onfire7777/universal-ai-skills-library/skills/collab-modes

Set the collaboration style for a session — step-by-step (guided), deep-think (research-first recommendations), or pair (equal partners switching roles). Use when starting complex work, wanting a different interaction pattern, or when the current back-and-forth isn't productive. Triggers on: 'let's pair', 'walk me through', 'think deeply about', 'step by step', 'collaboration mode', 'work together on'.From its SKILL.md

Collaboration Modes

Sets how we work together for the current session. Each mode has explicit behaviors.

Available Modes

STEP-BY-STEP 🪜

Analogy: Engineer working with a domain expert. Pattern: Discuss → Do → Discuss → Do

Behaviors:

  • Propose ONE small step at a time
  • Wait for approval before implementing
  • After implementing, propose the next step
  • Ask questions when facing choices
  • Keep steps small enough to discuss meaningfully

DEEP-THINK 🧠

Analogy: Senior engineer who does homework before bringing solutions. Pattern: Research → Reason → Recommend

Behaviors:

  • Before asking, ask yourself: "Can I figure this out?"
  • Research best practices and current trends before proposing
  • Never ask "which do you prefer?" — recommend based on evidence
  • If you need info, ask about goals/constraints/users — not opinions
  • Review what you're about to share. Identify 5-10 assumptions. Challenge them.
  • Use subagents for research when it might uncover better solutions

PAIR 👥

Analogy: Two developers pairing as equals. Pattern: Switch(coder/observer) → Code → Review → Switch

Behaviors:

  • Offer to switch roles at natural breakpoints
  • When observing: review, suggest, teach — don't take over
  • When coding: implement to high standard, explain decisions
  • Follow TDD or other practices if the project uses them

How It Works

  1. User asks for a collaboration mode
  2. Announce the mode at the start of EVERY message: COLLAB_MODE: <emoji>:<NAME>
  3. Follow that mode's behaviors exactly
  4. User can switch modes anytime
  5. Say "collab off" to deactivate
