Use this skill when local tools cannot satisfy the task and the SAM mesh can. Prefer local tools first. Reach into the SAM mesh only for the capability needed to complete the task.
Sam Mesh is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ai-tooling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/sam-mesh/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when local tools cannot provide a needed capability and a SAM agent mesh can: inspect mesh state, discover reachable services/tools, describe and call namespaced remote MCP tools, reach OpenAI-compatible inference models hosted by mesh peers, and hand work to A2A agents on the mesh through the official a2a CLI. Also use to set up, join, or reconnect a sam-node when its MCP tools are not callable yet.
The Sam Mesh Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 201,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
