agent-coordination
Coordinate Crew (persistent) and Polecat (transient) agents using Gas Town's hook-based work distribution and GUPP principle.
Best use case
agent-coordination is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Coordinate Crew (persistent) and Polecat (transient) agents using Gas Town's hook-based work distribution and GUPP principle.
Teams using agent-coordination should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Agent Coordination
## Overview
Coordinate multi-agent work using Gas Town's role hierarchy: Mayor assigns, Crew persists, Polecats execute transiently, and hooks drive the GUPP principle ("If there is work on your Hook, YOU MUST RUN IT").
## When to Use
- Assigning beads to agents
- 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
