Provides Tailscale commands, ACL configs, and concepts for mesh VPN enabling secure P2P networking with WireGuard, DERP relays, MagicDNS, and access control.
Manages Tailscale mesh VPN networks via CLI (status, ping, netcheck, file transfer, serve, funnel) and API (devices, auth keys, DNS).
Manage Tailscale tailnet via CLI for local ops (status, ping, file transfer, serve/funnel/SSH) and API for tailnet-wide (devices, auth keys, online status, tags/routes).

Tailscale File Transfer Skill provides peer-to-peer file sharing through Tailscale mesh networks using open games framework semantics. Every transfer is a bidirectional game with:
Forward Pass (play):
file_path → read & hash → resolve recipient IP → prepare context
↓
execute_transfer(sequential|parallel|adaptive)
↓
record to @transfer_log
Backward Pass (coplay):
{delivered, bytes_received, transfer_time} → ack
↓
calculate utility (base + quality_bonus)
↓
propagate backward through lens
base_utility = delivered ? 1.0 : 0.0
quality_bonus = 0.0
quality_bonus += 0.1 if transfer_time < 5.0 # Speed bonus
quality_bonus += 0.05 if bytes_received ≥ 95% # Completeness
final_utility = min(base_utility + quality_bonus, 1.0)
Examples:
| Strategy | Throughput | Use Case | Threads | Latency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sequential | 1706 KB/s | Default, small files, strict ordering | 1 | 10ms/chunk |
| parallel | 1706 KB/s | Large files, high bandwidth, order-independent | 4 | 5ms/chunk |
| adaptive | 538 KB/s (scales) | Unknown networks, dynamic chunk sizing | 1→N | adaptive |
Supports multiple identifier formats:
# Named coplay identifier (preferred)
skill.play(file_path: "model.jl", recipient: "alice@coplay")
# Tailscale IP (100.x.y.z range)
skill.play(file_path: "model.jl", recipient: "100.64.0.1")
# Hostname
skill.play(file_path: "model.jl", recipient: "alice-mbp")
skill.discover_mesh_peers
# Returns: 5-peer topology (alice, bob, charlie, diana, eve)
# Peer information includes:
# {user: "alice", hostname: "alice-mbp", ip: "100.64.0.1", status: :online}
game = skill.create_open_game
# Returns: OpenGame with:

skill.play(file_path: "learned_plr_network.jl", recipient: "collaborator@coplay")
# Distribute harmonic analysis for CRDT merge
skill.play(file_path: "analysis.json", recipient: "merge_agent@coplay")
skill = TailscaleFileTransferSkill.new(seed: 42)
# Deterministic network simulation based on seed

}
discover_mesh_peers()Discover available Tailscale peers.
Returns: Array of peer hashes with user, hostname, ip, status
create_open_game()Create composable OpenGame instance.
Returns: OpenGame with strategy space and utility function
| Trit | Direction | Role | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| -1 | Contravariant | Sender (wants receiver to succeed) | Backward perspective |
| 0 | Ergodic | Router/Network (observes transfer) | Neutral observation |
| +1 | Covariant | Receiver (gets the benefit) | Forward perspective |
Skill Perspective: trit: 1 (covariant) - Receiver's benefit is primary
