Hive Workers Skill

Orchestrates complex task execution using ruflo hive mind with automatic code review and documentation updates.

Quick Start

0. EXPLORE: Search codebase for existing implementations (MANDATORY)
1. Read the task or issue
2. Initialize hive mind: swarm_init({ topology: "hierarchical" })
3. Create todos: TodoWrite with all tasks
4. Execute in parallel where possible
5. Run code review with Task agent
6. Fix any "Must Fix" items
7. Run governance audit
8. Create ADR if architectural decision
9. Update project status
10. Generate sprint report
11. Cleanup: swarm_destroy, mark issues done

Execution

When triggered, immediately:

Read agent-prompt.md from this skill's directory (./agent-prompt.md)
Spawn a single Task with subagent_type: "general-purpose" passing the agent-prompt content as the prompt
Include in the prompt: the user's request, current working directory, and any arguments passed
Wait for the agent to complete
Present the agent's summary to the user
