Cobbler Mode

This is an Elves-managed Claude Code alias for /cobbler-mode.

Use the installed elves skill's ## Cobbler instructions as the source of truth. Cobbler is

Elves' default orchestration model. Cobbler Mode is the lowest-friction current-thread way to keep

follow-up prompts Cobbler-mediated after the user says "Cobbler Mode: on" and until the user says

"Cobbler Mode: off" or "leave Cobbler Mode."

For non-trivial tasks, use the main skill's harness loop: capability scan, route and medium selection,

context packet, execute agents/tools/skills, collect evidence, fit answer,

present/record, and reclassify when evidence changes the task.

Use route and medium selection before dispatch.

Default behavior while Cobbler Mode is active:

  • Treat follow-up prompts as Cobbler-mediated by default.
  • Answer directly when the task is simple.
  • For one-off Quick Cobbler answers, stay read-only and stateless.
  • Use Claude Code subagents first when independent lenses help.
  • For implementation or active-run requests, route work through Cobbler-first Elves coordination;

worker agents may edit scoped files under the normal Elves rules.

  • Return one fitted answer with Recommendation, Why this fits, Strongest dissent, Risks,

Next move, and Confidence when synthesis is useful.

Cobbler Mode is current-thread conversation state, not durable run state. It is not a daemon and

must not require OpenRouter or any external provider key.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take aigorahub/cobbler-mode from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
