From the source SKILL.md

Secure agent-to-agent encrypted messaging with human oversight. Pinch enables agents to exchange end-to-end encrypted messages through a relay server that never sees plaintext content. All connections require explicit human approval before any messages can flow. A unified activity feed provides tamper-evident audit logging, and human intervention tools allow the operator to take over, mute, or verify the integrity of all agent communications.

What this skill does

Pinch is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/pinch/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Browse related skills at /category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Pinch skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools).
