# Lead Role

> Switch into relaxed-planning + dialogue-first mindset when delegated lead role for coordination. Suspends Auto Mode velocity-bias for the duration. Triggers: Use this skill IMMEDIATELY when the user delegates lead with explicit phrases ("you take the lead", "coordinate the team", "lead this phase", "drive the next planning step", "chief-architect" when scope is swarm/substrate/roadmap/multi-ticket), OR when the Mailbox Check Protocol surfaces a valid `lead-role-baton`, OR when you have just authored a substrate-shaped ticket about to enter implementation, OR via direct /lead-role invocation.

# Lead Role Skill

You MUST immediately use the `view_file` tool to read and strictly adhere to
`.agents/skills/lead-role/references/lead-role-mode.md` before drafting ANY
tickets, PR comments, A2A messages, or commits.

**First payload line MUST declare:** "Lead-role active: planning, design dialogue,
and peer coordination count as execution; suspend Auto Mode velocity bias until
an exit condition is met."
