Provide architectural guidance for prompt-native agent systems. This skill covers orchestration patterns, iteration loops, state management, and agent handoffs.
The Crew Philosophy
Agents work, you orchestrate. Spawn agents for heavy lifting, keep main thread light for decisions.
State survives compaction. All branch state lives in .claude/branches/{branch}/state.json.
Handoffs are mandatory. Every task completion creates a handoff. Knowledge persists.
Iteration until done. Use loops for tasks with verifiable completion criteria.
