omg Agent Catalog

Use this catalog to decide which agent to spawn for a task. All agents are invoked via the task tool:

task(agent_type="omg:<name>", prompt="<task>", model="<model>", mode="background|sync")

# With effort control (Copilot CLI --effort flag):
copilot -p "<task>" --agent omg:<name> --effort <low|medium|high|xhigh> --yolo

READ-ONLY Enforcement

READ-ONLY agents should be spawned with --excluded-tools to physically prevent file modifications:

# When spawning via copilot CLI (automation/CI):
copilot -p "..." --agent omg:architect --excluded-tools edit,create --yolo

# The task() tool does not support --excluded-tools directly,
# but the agent prompt enforces read-only behavior.
# For maximum security in CI, use copilot CLI with --excluded-tools.

Orchestrators (9) — coordinate specialists, do NOT implement directly

Agent	task() name	Purpose	Mode
autopilot	omg:autopilot	Full lifecycle: idea → working verified code. Delegates to specialists.	sync
ralph	omg:ralph	Persistence loop — keeps iterating until all acceptance criteria pass.	sync
team	omg:team	Decomposes task, fires N parallel workers, verifies combined result.	sync
ralplan	omg:ralplan	Consensus planning: planner → architect → critic loop until agreement.	sync
ultrawork	omg:ultrawork	Parallel fire-and-forget — launches independent tasks simultaneously.	sync
research-to-pr	omg:research-to-pr	Deep investigation → /delegate → cloud agent creates PR. Copilot-exclusive.	sync
sciomc	omg:sciomc	Staged parallel research with tiered scientist agents.	sync
self-improve	omg:self-improve	Autonomous optimization: benchmark, tournament-select best approach.	sync
deep-dive	omg:deep-dive	Two-stage: trace root cause → crystallize into actionable spec.	sync

Example Delegation

# Fast codebase search
task(agent_type="omg:explore", prompt="find all auth-related files", model="claude-haiku-4.5", mode="background")

# Deep architecture review
task(agent_type="omg:architect", prompt="analyze the auth module design", model="claude-opus-4.6", mode="sync")

# Implementation
task(agent_type="omg:executor", prompt="add input validation to createUser()", model="claude-sonnet-4.6", mode="background")

# Verification
task(agent_type="omg:verifier", prompt="verify createUser validation works", model="claude-sonnet-4.6", mode="sync")
