convoy-management

Convoy Management organizes multi-agent work in Gas Town by creating convoys of related beads as primary work orders, decomposing goals into persistent beads and ephemeral wisps, assigning tasks to long-lived Crew or transient Polecats, tracking progress through hooks and heartbeats, and landing completed convoys through branch merges. Use this when coordinating parallel distributed work across multiple agents or tracking progress of complex multi-step efforts requiring quality verification before completion.

Definition

SKILL.md

- Coordinating parallel bead execution across agents
- Tracking progress of distributed work
- Landing (merging) completed convoy results

## Process

1. **Create convoy** from goal or MEOW decomposition
2. **Decompose** into beads (persistent) and wisps (ephemeral)
3. **Assign** beads to Crew (long-lived) or Polecats (transient)
4. **Track** progress via hooks and heartbeats
5. **Verify** all beads complete with quality checks
6. **Land** convoy by merging bead branches

## Key Concepts

- **Convoy**: Primary work-order wrapping related beads
- **Bead**: Git-backed atomic work unit (issue/task)
- **Wisp**: Ephemeral bead destroyed after successful run
- **GUPP**: If there is work on your Hook, YOU MUST RUN IT

## Agents Used

- `agents/mayor/` - Creates and coordinates convoys
- `agents/crew-lead/` - Persistent collaborator on beads
- `agents/polecat/` - Transient worker for individual beads

## Tool Use

Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/gastown/gastown-convoy`
