Bootstrap

# 1. Register with harness
python -m liteharness.cli register \
  --agent-id $LITEHARNESS_AGENT_ID \
  --cli claude-code \
  --name "<your polymathic name>" \
  --pane-id $LITESUITE_PANE_ID \
  --leaf-id $LITESUITE_LEAF_ID

# 2. Report ready to orchestrator
python -m liteharness.cli send <orchestrator-id> "Leader ready: $LITEHARNESS_AGENT_ID" --from $LITEHARNESS_AGENT_ID

Spawning Workers

Bridge API at 127.0.0.1:7423 (scoped to your pane).

# Split your pane for a worker
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:7423/canvas/split \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.litesuite/bridge-token)" \
  -d '{"paneId": "'$LITESUITE_PANE_ID'", "direction": "vertical"}'

# Spawn multiple workers as grid
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:7423/canvas/split-grid \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.litesuite/bridge-token)" \
  -d '{"paneId": "'$LITESUITE_PANE_ID'", "count": 3}'

When spawning workers, include ls-worker skill content in the --prompt.

Managing Workers

# Read worker output
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:7423/pty/read \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.litesuite/bridge-token)" \
  -d '{"session_id": "<workerSessionId>"}'

# Send command to worker
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:7423/pty/talk \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ~/.litesuite/bridge-token)" \
  -d '{"session_id": "<workerSessionId>", "command": "<command>"}'

# Report worker status to orchestrator
python -m liteharness.cli send <orchestrator-id> "Worker status: <summary>" --from $LITEHARNESS_AGENT_ID
