Drive one AI agent from another through kolu's terminals: spawn a Claude Code / Codex / opencode session in a PTY, prompt it, watch the screen for its reply, read it, and prompt again. PRIMARY PATH: the kolu MCP server's tools (`lifecycle_create`/`lifecycle_sendInput` with named keys, the `wait_outputSettled`/`wait_agentState` done-signals, `screen_text`, the `terminals` resource) — configured in this repo's .mcp.json as `kolu mcp`. FALLBACK when the MCP is unavailable: the `kaval-tui`/`padi-tui` CLIs, same verbs, same discipline. Triggers on "drive another agent", "send a prompt to a terminal agent", "have one agent prompt another", "agent drives agent", "orchestrate agents in terminals", "make Claude drive Codex", "prompt the agent running in that terminal", or wiring a loop where one coding agent supervises another.
Running memory of the coordination rules for an orchestrator agent driving implementing agents on kolu terminals — authorization boundaries, the dispatch protocol (MCP-first via the kolu skill, with its TUI fallback), verification discipline, and how to communicate with the human. Load whenever coordinating a multi-agent campaign (dispatching briefs to agents in kolu PTYs, tracking their PRs, verifying their claims), or when acting as the coordinator in a padi/surface-style campaign. Triggers on "orchestrate the agents", "coordinate the campaign", "dispatch to the agents", "act as coordinator", or driving multiple implementing agents from one supervising session.

Modern, interactive alternative to `/do` — clarify intent up front, then take a task end-to-end with a serial AI review gauntlet (lens debate (lowy ⇄ hickey) → codex debate → simplify → code-police, each editing the branch in turn) → CI → evidence. ONLY invoke when the user explicitly types `/be` or `$be`; never auto-select from a natural-language request.
Run an automated codex⇄Claude debate to consensus — no round cap, no deadlock exit. Two explicit subcommands. `review` (also the bare/back-compat default) — codex critiques the current diff and Claude (author) fixes/disputes, looping until they agree, and the trail is committed + posted to the PR. `answer` — Claude and codex each answer a freeform prompt, then cross-check until they agree, and a unified answer is returned. The debate runs over a LIVE codex session in a split terminal beside you (driven per the /kolu skill), not a headless workflow. Use when the user types `/codex-debate`, asks to "have codex review this", "run the codex debate", "review this PR with codex", "argue this with codex until you agree", or passes a question to "have Claude and codex debate/answer until they agree".

Run /be's review gauntlet SERIALLY — architecture-first-principles FIRST (framework/structure diffs), then /lens-debate (lowy ⇄ hickey), then /codex-debate, then /simplify, then code-police, each editing and committing on the live branch in turn. Use from /be §4, or when the user asks to "run the review gauntlet". Requires Claude Code's Skill tool.
Run a structural-review debate between two lenses — lowy (volatility-based decomposition) and hickey (structural simplicity) — on the current diff. Each reviews independently, then the reviews are reconciled (cross-lens agreements settle with zero debate) and only genuinely contested findings debate in parallel per-file threads until the lenses agree; the agreed fixes are applied. Use when the user types `/lens-debate`, or asks to "have lowy and hickey review this", "run the lens debate", "debate this diff structurally", or "argue the structure of this PR until the lenses agree".
