gangprompting

gangprompting

An agent skill that teaches a coding agent to loop itself into a team chat channel (Discord, Slack, a group thread) so several people can prompt it together — a shared secretary, a grilling facilitator, a teammate in the room. This skill is agent-agnostic (with specific guidance for Claude Code and OpenCode) and platform-agnostic (with specific guidance for Discord and Slack).

Instead of instructing an agent to run a random script from the internet; this skill teaches an agent how to build its own bridge, tailored to your setup.

Gangprompting — many people prompting one agent together in one channel. Term coined by Dax Raad (@thdxr).

What it does

Say "loop yourself into <channel>" and the agent joins the channel and works with everyone in it.

On first use, it sets up a small bridge (a small script that agent writes to be able to read from / send messages to / monitor a chat channel) and records the how-to in CLAUDE.md; after that, looping in is one step. The bundled discord-agent-bridge.ts provided as a reference for agents to adapt to your set up.

Install

Install the skill with the skills CLI:

npx skills@latest add dtinth/gangprompting-skill

Then, in any project, tell the agent to loop yourself into a channel link.
