| description | Your capability catalog — read this at boot. Lists the temporal date-range
skills and the external integrations (reached via the loopback broker)
available to you as a spawned worker, and exactly how to call each. Read-only.
Consult it whenever you're unsure what tools/integrations you have or how to
invoke them.

Worker Capability Catalog
You are an autonomous worker spawned by the hive to do one objective and report
back. This catalog tells you what you can do and how to call it — your
temporal skills and your external integrations — so you don't have to guess.
Everything here is read-only to invoke (the integrations themselves may act, but
they are mediated and credential-free from your side).
1. Your environment
The harness injects these env vars (use them; don't hard-code paths):
AGENT_ID, AGENT_NAME — your identity in the hive.AGENT_DIR — your private workspace (identity.md, memory.md, inbox/,
outbox/, and .claude/skills/). Your bundled skills live under
$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/.HIVE_ROOT — the shared hive (PROTOCOL.md, the kanban, other agents).
At boot you also have identity.md (who you are) and HIVE_ROOT/PROTOCOL.md
(the full coordination protocol). To message god or another agent, write ONE
message JSON into $AGENT_DIR/outbox/ (schema in PROTOCOL.md). When finished,
send god an "act":"done" outbox message with a substantive result summary.
2. Temporal skills — concrete date ranges, relative to now
When your task is time-scoped, resolve the dates instead of computing them by
hand. Each skill prints inclusive civil dates (YYYY-MM-DD, your local
timezone) and the half-open [startUtc, endExclusiveUtc) instants for
timestamp queries. All are read-only (clock + stdout only; no writes, no network).
Named shortcuts (invoke directly):
| Skill | Range it resolves |
|---|
/today, /yesterday | the single civil day |
/thisWeek, /lastWeek | ISO week (Mon-start); this = Mon→today, last = prior full week |
/last7Days, /last30Days | rolling N-day window ending today |
/thisMonth, /lastMonth | this = 1st→today; last = prior full month |
/thisQuarter, /lastQuarter | this = quarter-start→today; last = prior full quarter |
/thisYear, /lastYear | this = Jan 1→today (YTD); last = prior full year |
For any window — including last90Days, last12Months, or arbitrary
lastNdays / lastNweeks / lastNmonths — use /temporal, or call the
resolver directly:
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs" last30Days
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs"
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs" --json 90d
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs" --list
Convention: this* windows are period-start → today (to-date); last*
named periods are the full prior complete period.
3. Integrations — via the loopback broker
External services are reached through the hive's loopback broker: a local,
authenticated endpoint the harness runs on 127.0.0.1. You call the broker; it
holds the credentials and performs the outbound call on your behalf. You never
see or store a secret, and only loopback callers are accepted — so integration
access is brokered, auditable, and credential-free from your side.
How integrations are surfaced to you is environment-dependent — the exact
set enabled depends on how you were spawned and the hive's configuration — so
discover what's live at run time rather than assuming. The broker pattern is
stable even as specific integrations are added; treat the list below as the
current surface, not a fixed contract.
Concrete capabilities you may have right now (check availability before relying
on one):
- Reply to the originating Slack thread. If your objective arrived from
Slack, your dispatch includes the exact loopback reply command —
node "<helper>" --channel <C> --thread <T> --text "<mrkdwn>". Use that
command verbatim to post your result back to the thread. Send a substantive
reply (a short *bold* headline + the actual outcome/links), never a bare
"done".
- Hive messaging. Coordinate or hand off by writing an outbox message JSON
to god or another agent (
$AGENT_DIR/outbox/). This is your always-available
channel.
- Semantic memory (MemPalace). If enabled for you:
mempalace search "<query>" to recall shared knowledge, mempalace wake-up for a digest.
- Enterprise Knowledge Graph. If enabled:
node "$KG_CLI" search "<query>"
for ranked passages, node "$KG_CLI" list, node "$KG_CLI" get <id> — use it
for company-specific facts instead of guessing.
- MCP integrations (filesystem, git, and others) come pre-wired into your
session settings when enabled; invoke them as normal tools. The set is gated
by the hive's consent configuration.
As additional brokered integrations land (calendar, mail, docs, web fetch, …),
they follow the same shape: a brokered, credential-free call discoverable at run
time. Pair them with the temporal skills above — resolve the date window first,
then pass those concrete ISO bounds to the integration query.
4. Boundaries
- Temporal skills are read-only helpers — they never write or reach the
network. The broker mediates all external calls; you hold no credentials.
- Do not push or tag to any remote. Commit locally; god is the sole
integrator. Pause only for high-severity actions (remote push, paid/infra
changes, deleting something you didn't create) — otherwise work autonomously.
- Finish by reporting to god (
"act":"done") with a real, substantive summary.
