Explicit Identity Across Boundaries

Never rely on "latest" or "current" when crossing process or async boundaries.

Pattern

Pass explicit identifiers through the entire pipeline. "Most recent" is a race condition.

DO

  • Pass --session-id $ID when spawning processes
  • Store IDs in state files for later correlation
  • Use full UUIDs, not partial matches
  • Keep different ID types separate (don't collapse concepts)

DON'T

  • Query for "most recent session" at execution time
  • Assume the current context will still be current after await/spawn
  • Collapse different ID types:
    • session_id = Claude Code session (human-facing)
    • root_span_id = Braintrust trace (query key)
    • turn_span_id = Braintrust turn within session

Example

// BAD: race condition at session boundaries
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn'])  // defaults to "most recent"

// GOOD: explicit identity
spawn('analyzer', ['--learn', '--session-id', input.session_id])

Source Sessions

  • 1c21e6c8: Defined session_id vs root_span_id distinction
  • 6a9f2d7a: Fixed wrong-session attribution via explicit passing
  • a541f08a: Confirmed pattern prevents race at session boundaries

    Registry listing for explicit-identity matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.

    Keeps context tight: explicit-identity is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.

    explicit-identity has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.

  • Ava Ramirez· Nov 19, 2024

    Useful defaults in explicit-identity — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.

    Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: explicit-identity is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.

    I recommend explicit-identity for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
