SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps spawned workers understand the assembled colony-prime context, identify missing information, and align their actions with the colony's guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-audit: interprets the 9 Colony-prime sections (Rolling Summary, Phase Learnings, Key Decisions, Hive Wisdom, Context Capsule, User Preferences, QUEEN Wisdom, Blocker Warnings, and Pheromone Signals) to determine what information is present.
  • Gap identification: flags missing sections and outlines what needs to be provided to proceed effectively.
  • Context-driven task alignment: guides how to prioritize tasks based on context signals and blockers.

Quick Start

Review the 9 Colony-prime sections to identify what context is present and what is missing.

FAQPage Schema
How do spawned workers understand colony-prime context to decide what to do next?

Spawned workers understand colony-prime context by interpreting nine specific context sections like Rolling Summary, Phase Learnings, and Blocker Warnings. This context interpretation allows them to determine present information, identify missing sections, and align actions with colony guidance to decide what to do next.

What is context priming for spawned workers in a workflow?

Context priming for spawned workers is the process of auditing assembled colony-prime context sections like Hive Wisdom and User Preferences. This priming mechanism flags missing information and provides operational guidance so workers can effectively prioritize tasks based on available signals.

How do I identify missing context sections before starting a spawned worker task?

You identify missing context sections by reviewing the nine Colony-prime sections like QUEEN Wisdom and Pheromone Signals. This context-audit process flags missing sections and outlines exactly what information needs to be provided to proceed effectively with the spawned worker task.

Can I use context signals to prioritize tasks and avoid blockers in a spawned workflow?

Yes, you can use context signals to prioritize tasks and avoid blockers. By interpreting Blocker Warnings and Pheromone Signals within the colony-prime context, workers gain blocker-awareness and receive operational guidance to safely align their actions with colony constraints.

What are the limitations of relying on colony-prime context for worker task alignment?

The primary limitation of relying on colony-prime context is that missing sections like Context Capsule or Phase Learnings can halt worker progress. Without complete context priming, workers cannot accurately determine what information is missing or safely decide what to do next.

Does worker-priming work without external dependencies or components?

Yes, worker-priming works without external dependencies or components. It relies entirely on interpreting the colony-prime context embedded in the activation prompt, using frontmatter-driven metadata and operational guidance loaded in the Markdown body to function independently.
