Use when designing multi-agent topologies that run ON OpenRig — authoring RigSpec and AgentSpec files for new rigs, creating agent startup content (guidance / skills / culture), or diagnosing why a launched rig's agents aren't behaving as intended. NOT for…
Use when a user wants a continuing software team for a real repository, or has a first OpenRig team and needs a repeatable path for reviewed work and later tasks.
Use when a specific `rig` command, subcommand, or flag is already known and you need its exact syntax, JSON shape, defaults, or error meaning. NOT for natural capability discovery, open-ended how-do-I questions, or choosing which OpenRig move applies.
Use when you notice something the person would want to see (a seat waiting on them, a seat that has stalled or keeps failing, work that needs their decision), when they ask what the team is doing or where some work stands, or in their first session with this…
Use when opening OpenRig fleet terminals as a herdr wall — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live interactive agent tiles via `rig terminal`, watching another rig read-only, or driving herdr on an agent's request ("open all my rigs + a…
Use when you're operating OpenRig and need the right skill or context for fleet recovery, seat handover, new-seat orientation, a watchdog wake, cross-host reach to an agent on another machine, rig packaging, an OpenRig upgrade, systematic debugging, queue…
Use when an agent is preparing or performing an OpenRig CLI/daemon upgrade and must preserve live seats, verify each mutation, or reconcile managed plugin and skill files without overwriting local work.
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include…
Systematically explore and test a web application to find bugs, UX issues, and other problems. Use when asked to "dogfood", "QA", "exploratory test", "find issues", "bug hunt", "test this app/site/platform", or review the quality of a web application.…
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
Use when you're operating OpenRig and need the right skill or context for fleet recovery, seat handover, new-seat orientation, a watchdog wake, cross-host reach to an agent on another machine, rig packaging, an OpenRig upgrade, systematic debugging, queue…
Use before launching a team during agent-guided setup, or when a user asks to configure OpenRig command permissions, reduce repeated native approval prompts, or apply a selected rig/seat permission policy.
Use when a Claude Code session is about to compact, has just compacted, reached its context limit, resumed after /compact, or must rebuild its working picture of a long-running seat from its own restore map, its JSONL transcript and the files it touched.
Use when you have a task and must decide WHO does it — yourself, a spawned subagent, or another agent in the topology that already holds the context. The rule: how much would a blank slate have to read in to do this correctly? A lot → route to a…
Use when the system around you does not make sense yet: you just booted into a seat and do not know how the pieces fit; someone said rig, pod, seat, fleet, topology, or slice and you are not certain what they mean here; you are unsure what kind of rig you are…
Use when you have just been primed into an EXISTING seat through a planned handover — a different agent retired and handed you the seat plus its earned context — and you need a world model of what just happened to you. Covers how a handover differs from…
Use when ending a turn, finishing a slice, blocked on another agent's work, or escalating to a human — durable work handoff via queue items so the system keeps moving across compactions, missed messages, and interruptions. Covers the hot-potato…
Use when a long-running agent may have lost the product outcome, when context was compacted, when work has crossed a major boundary, or when a fresh path-based trace is needed before the next consequential action. Not for fresh-session orientation, waking an…
Use when you are a sitting agent near your context threshold (~85%) and a PLANNED seat transition is due — retire deliberately and hand your seat to a fresh successor primed from a packet, rather than let compaction degrade you. Covers the handover packet,…
Use when replacing a seat's occupant (rebuild/handover/swap), reasoning about stable-seat-identity vs fluid-occupant-identity, choosing an old-occupant disposition (retire/advise/shadow), or recording provenance for an occupant change. Two independent…
Use when reasoning about what survives compaction/context-loss/restart/seat-refresh, designing a high-fidelity restore packet, or distinguishing native runtime resume vs fork vs artifact-backed mental-model rebuild. Covers the 4 failure modes that prevent…
