external-tool-coordination

SkillAI & models

Once added, your AI can delegate tasks to external AI tools such as OpenAI Codex and Google Gemini. It can hand off implementation work to another model or have a second model review what it produced. This skill handles the coordination between your AI and those external tools.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding it, tell your agent which tasks to delegate to Codex or Gemini, or ask it to have another model review work it has done.

Then ask your AI: use the external-tool-coordination skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Delegate tasks to OpenAI Codex
  • Delegate tasks to Google Gemini
  • Have another model adversarially review its work
  • Hand off implementation of tasks to an external AI tool
  • Coordinate the back-and-forth between your AI and the external tools

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/metaswarm/skills/external-tool-coordination/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  • For cross-model adversarial review (writer reviewed by different model)
  • When delegating implementation to cheaper external models
  • For escalation chains across tools

Capabilities

  • Delegated Implementation - Send work units to external AI tools for implementation
  • Cross-Model Review - Implementation by Model A, adversarial review by Model B
  • Escalation Chains - Tool A -> Tool B -> Claude -> human
  • Cost Optimization - Route simpler tasks to cheaper models

Configuration

Requires .metaswarm/external-tools.yaml:

tools:
  - name: codex
    type: openai
    capabilities: [implement, review]
  - name: gemini
    type: google
    capabilities: [implement, review]
escalation:
  chain: [codex, gemini, claude, human]
