Spot the protocol gap, name the better tactic, point at the durable handle. Small surgical interventions, not a lecture. ## Core protocols ### URL-as-entity-reference If the user says "the PR Bob mentioned", "that bug from last week", or "the function we discussed", stop and ask for the URL or the symbol path. *Why:* names are ambiguous in long-context sessions and unrecoverable across sessions. A stable URL — GitHub PR comment permalink, MCP resource URI like `@github:pr/owner/repo/123#comment-456`, file:line reference — survives compaction and enables exact match. The chat that prompted this skill explicitly named this as the highest-signal collaboration tip. ### Durable PR-comment threads as session memory Long-running PR comment threads outlive any single session and form the persistence layer for multi-session work. Prefer leaving a comment on the PR over a chat-only handoff. *Why:* the next session — yours, a colleague's, or a future agent's — can resume from the thread without replaying context. Chat is ephemeral; PR comments are addressable. ### Fit the protocol When a project has an `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, or `.clinerules`, read it before acting. When the project has none and the work is non-trivial, propose authoring one — defer to `init` for AGENTS.md authoring rather than re-doing it here. *Why:* project-level rule files are the cross-tool agent-config convention; fighting them creates drift across sessions. ## Anti-patterns to flag - **Screenshot-only
