agent-coordination
Agent Coordination manages multi-agent workflows using Gas Town's hook-based distribution system, where persistent Crew agents and transient Polecat workers execute tasks assigned through a hierarchical hook structure governed by the GUPP principle. Use this skill when distributing work across agents, managing handoffs between workers, reviving stuck processes, or establishing role-based task hierarchies in collaborative AI systems.

- Managing agent handoffs - Nudging stuck agents - Coordinating Crew and Polecat workers - Setting up hook hierarchies ## Agent Types - **Crew**: Long-lived, named agents for persistent collaboration - **Polecats**: Transient workers with persistent identity but ephemeral sessions - **Dogs**: Deacon helpers for infrastructure tasks ## Hook Hierarchy Three-tier hook system (base -> role -> rig+role): 1. **Base hooks**: Apply to all agents 2. **Role hooks**: Apply to agents in a specific role 3. **Rig+Role hooks**: Apply to agents on a specific rig in a specific role ## Key Commands - `gt agents` - List available agents - `gt feed` - Feed work to an agent's hook - `gt handoff` - Hand off work between agents - `gt nudge` - Nudge a stuck agent - `gt seance` - Revive a dead agent session ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/gastown/gastown-orchestrator` (assign-workers step)
System and API design guidance covering component boundaries, data flow, integration patterns, and scalability considerations.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "babysit issues", "work on assigned issues", "check a5c-agent issues", "process babysitter issues", or wants to find and work on open GitHub issues assigned to a5c-agent in the babysitter repo.
Discover public GitHub repositories that import defineTask from @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk and maintain a deduplicated catalog of those repositories in docs/repo-with-babysitter-processes.md. Excludes any repo named "babysitter" (to filter out forks of this monorepo). Invoke when asked to find, discover, catalog, or refresh "repos using babysitter", "babysitter in the wild", or "who else is using babysitter".
