Many companies use Skype / Skype-for-Business. Chat is a valid means to document interactions. It's okay to interact that way, but be careful when you start a conversation on Skype you should 'follow up' on it to document your mutual decisions.

If it's been a pain the OP would likely have not done adequate documentation, and if he's let stuff slide in the past, as suggested in the op, there will be damaging documentation (i.e. lax code reviews) this co-worker can use against him. Reactionary documentation is simply not good enough- you have to keep everything up to date at the time aim for consistency. The last thing you want is your co-worker finding a smoking-gun- taking care of it after the fact is a stretch (and conspicuous).
