shared rules for the helper sub-agents an orchestrating skill spawns

The file

Files
SKILL.md

how an orchestrator such as /loop or /orchestrate-multi-pr-work uses helpers. the calling skill names when to spawn one, its output dir, its single code writer and how many run at once

agents are highly reactive to their context, so delegate deep investigation rather than consuming every detail yourself. do small lookups yourself

  • give each helper its question, what you already know and an output path under the caller's output dir; it writes the full result there and returns a short gist. read the file only when the gist could change a decision
  • helpers contribute intelligence while writes stay single-threaded: they leave the checkout, commits and pushes alone unless the calling skill names an exception
  • a helper that needs another commit runs in its own worktree from bin/wt-run <ref> -- pwd and confirms its HEAD before starting. remove that worktree once the helper is done
  • side effects stay in local dev. helpers spawn no helpers of their own
  • decisions stay with you; a helper's result is evidence for them

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
