write
The /write slash command launches a coordinated agent team optimized for writing projects. Use this when you need multiple specialized agents working together on content creation, with options to configure the team tier (Ultra for reliability or Balanced for cost), set writing outcomes through guided questions, and optionally enable research capabilities. The command streamlines setup by offering preset configurations or step-by-step customization before deploying the agent team.

# /swarm:write
Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/commands/launch.md` for Step 0 (pre-flight), Step 1 (hard rules), and Step 8 (launch). This command replaces Steps 2–7.
**No lead research unless enabled.** Unless the user explicitly enables lead research, do not read codebase files, spawn subagents, or perform research. Delegate all research to teammates.
## Settings
- **Mode:** Writing
- **Outcomes question:** "What are you writing?"
- **Defaults:** suggest-members (Writing mode), tier picked at setup (Ultra recommended), no lead research
## User-Provided Context
$ARGUMENTS
## Workflow
1. **Setup.** AskUserQuestion — "How would you like to set up the team?" Options: "Defaults — Ultra (Recommended)" (auto-configure mode/team/research; full team on the stronger model — reliable rule-following) / "Defaults — Balanced" (same auto-config; cheaper model for members — lower cost, less reliable rule-following) / "Configure each step" (choose mode, team, tier, research individually).
2. **Outcomes.** If User-Provided Context is non-empty, use as outcomes. Otherwise ask the outcomes question (plain text, not AskUserQuestion). Then echo the outcomes back verbatim — copy-paste, no condensation, no paraphrase — and use AskUserQuestion with options "Yes, that's what I meant" / "Let me add to this". If "Let me add to this", ask what they'd like to add (plain text), append it, and re-echo with AskUserQuestion until confirmed.
3. **Team configuration.** Defaults path (either Defaults option): apply the defaults above with the tier set to the option picked (Ultra or Balanced), and immediately proceed to step 4 in the same response — do not pause for user input. Configure path: follow launch.md Steps 4–6, then step 4.
4. **Confirmation.** Follow launch.md Step 7. Mode is Writing.
5. **Launch.** Follow launch.md Step 8.Read-only swarm team member. Spawned by swarm via Agent tool with team_name. Tools restricted to read and research only — no Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit. Operational guidance comes from the briefing template at spawn time.
