manager-with-local

What problem does it solve?

Manager delegation chains are ephemeral and can be lost when an agent context resets, causing wasted work and difficult handoffs. This Skill prescribes using local breadcrumbs to persist multi-step delegations so teams can resume, audit, and recover long-running or cross-context operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Breadcrumb lifecycle: start a breadcrumb before the first manager call, log each completed step with files_changed, and complete or abort explicitly to avoid orphans.
• Crash recovery & handoff: persisted step logs let a new session or agent read breadcrumb_status and resume at the correct next step.
• Failure handling: record failed steps, retry or rollback with explicit logs, and include failure context for safe decisions.
• Loaf integration: combine manager-level loafs for task DAGs with local breadcrumbs for operation-level progress and audit.
• Use case: multi-step code refactors, long-running build/test/deploy pipelines, and cross-machine developer handoffs.

Quick Start

Start a local breadcrumb before your first manager delegation, call breadcrumb_step after each completed delegation including files_changed, and finish with breadcrumb_complete so the operation can be resumed or audited later.
