agent-coordination
SkillAI & modelsThis skill lets your AI coordinate several helper agents: it assigns each one work and keeps track of how that work is going. Your AI can run a standing team of persistent helpers (Crew agents) alongside short-lived helpers for one-off jobs (Polecat agents). Work is handed out using Gas Town's hook-based distribution and follows the GUPP principle.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
After adding the skill, give your AI a job and ask it to assign the pieces to its helper agents and follow up on progress. More detail is available in the repository at github.com/a5c-ai/babysitter.
Then ask your AI: use the agent-coordination skill
What your AI can do with it
- Assign tasks to multiple helper agents
- Track the status of work handed to each helper
- Split up a job and give the pieces to different helpers
- Keep persistent Crew helpers available across tasks
- Spin up transient Polecat helpers for one-off jobs
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/gastown/skills/agent-coordination/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
- 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):
- Base hooks: Apply to all agents
- Role hooks: Apply to agents in a specific role
- Rig+Role hooks: Apply to agents on a specific rig in a specific role
