Autonomous looped repo work. For each work unit (phase, bucket, item,
whatever the user calls them): plan → peer-review council → revise (≤2
rounds) → implement → test → diff council → commit. Background-ping
wake-up between iterations. Repeat until the user's roadmap is
exhausted or a halt trigger fires.
PERSISTENCE: Claude Code's task tool is the primary state — work units
and per-unit grinder steps are TaskCreate'd at run start, TaskUpdate'd
on every transition. Tasks survive auto-compact, so wake-up reads the
task list to find where it left off.
ACTIVATE on: "grind the backlog", "grind through this", "auto-grind
<X>", "run the grinder on <X>", "go autonomous on <X>", "continue with
the <buckets|phases|items>", "use the auto repo grinder".
REQUIRES: `cordy` on PATH and at least 2 peer drivers reachable.
Refuses to start with fewer drivers — single-peer "council" defeats
the diversity benefit. Auto mode (or equivalent permission-bypass)
must be active; the loop cannot pause for permission prompts.

Drive `cordy` (the @ellyseum/cordyceps CLI) to consult peer LLMs from
different model families — Codex (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Ollama
(local), and additional Claude variants — for ANY task where
cross-model input improves the answer: code reviews, plan critiques,
red-teaming, brainstorming, decision exploration, claim
cross-checking, meta-reviews of reviews. Capability skill — Claude
picks the right shape (single peer query, silo'd panel + chair,
adversarial pair, divergent panel, tiered escalation, persistent
sidecar, meta-review) for the user's ask.
ACTIVATE on explicit cross-model phrases: "consult peers", "spawn
council", "convene council", "ask the panel", "code review with
peers", "plan critique with peers", "brainstorm with peers" /
"brainstorm with multiple LLMs", "what would <name-of-model> think
about this", "ask Codex/Gemini/Ollama".
TIGHT, NOT BROAD: phrases like "second opinion", "peer review",
"plan review", "red team this" are AMBIGUOUS — they can mean "Claude
take another pass" rather tha
