/summon - Launch AutoMates Agents

Launch one or more agents in separate terminal windows with their identities, knowledge sections, and startup instructions.

Usage

/summon <agent>              # Launch single agent
/summon <agent1>,<agent2>    # Launch multiple agents
/summon team                 # Launch Planner, Builder, Checker
/summon all                  # Launch all 9 agents

Available Agents

Agent	Color	Role
planner	Blue	Creates blueprints and roadmaps
builder	Orange	Writes code, implements features
checker	Green	Reviews code, finds bugs, security
brainstorm	Yellow	Generates ideas, explores solutions
gal	Teal	Tests UX, skeptical evaluation
legal	Deep Slate	Licensing, privacy, compliance
gitdude	Violet	Commits, versioning, releases
fetcher	Caramel	Gathers documentation, research
orca	Charcoal	Designs agent workflows
daisy	Pink	Branding, social media, PR, pitches

Instructions

When this skill is invoked, execute the summon script:

AUTOMATES_ROOT="$(pwd)"

# Check if we're in the AutoMates project
if [[ ! -d "${AUTOMATES_ROOT}/AgenTeam" ]]; then
    echo "Error: Not in the AutoMates project (no AgenTeam/ folder found)"
    exit 1
fi

bash "${AUTOMATES_ROOT}/.claude/skills/summon/summon.sh" "$ARGUMENTS"

What Happens

1. A new terminal window/tab opens for each agent
2. Claude Code starts with that agent's identity loaded via --append-system-prompt
3. The agent reads their memory, Brief.md, and knowledge section (mandatory)
4. Agents share files through the workspace

Cross-Platform Support

Platform	Primary	Fallback
macOS	iTerm2	Terminal.app
Linux	gnome-terminal	xterm
Windows	Windows Terminal	PowerShell

Notes

• Each agent runs as a separate Claude Code instance
• Agents have persistent memory in AgenTeam/<name>/Memory_Logs/
• Fetcher's memory is in AgenTeam/Fetcher/Memory_Logs/
• .claude/rules/automates.md is automatically loaded in every session (shared context)
• Coordinate work through shared files in the workspace
