SiTaggart Swarm
Read PStack runtime guidance before this workflow.
Fan out N parallel native workers. They may cover separate slices, race the same brief, or mix both. The parent waits, aggregates, and returns one report.
Start
Open a todolist with one entry per phase before launching anything.

Phase A: Frame
- State the done predicate and the artifact or report the swarm must return.
- Choose the shape. Partition into slices, race N workers on identical briefs, or mix both. For a race or mixed shape, declare
first pass,rank all, orbest-ofbefore spawning. - Set N from the user or derive it from the shape. N is total workers, not the current native concurrency limit.
- Pick the worker model using the
swarm workersrole resolved through RUNTIME.md and the bundled model choices. For a model race, name each arm's model up front. - Give each worker its own writable output when it writes.
Phase B: Fan out
Spawn all N workers with the available non-blocking native subagent tool and the configured model and reasoning settings from RUNTIME.md. Start remaining workers as concurrency slots free up. Local children share the local host; use separate worktrees for writers. No cloud isolation is implied.
When a worker must start from a non-default pushed branch, prepare its worktree at that branch and pass the absolute worktree path in its brief.
Every brief stands alone. Include the goal, scope, exact slice or race arm, how to verify, and what to report. Reports use PASS, ISSUES, or BLOCKED with evidence.
If a worker drops out, proceed with N-1 and note it.
Phase C: Aggregate
Read the terminal results. For coverage, every required slice needs a result. For a race, apply the selection rule declared up front. Use first pass, rank all, or best-of. Do not paste raw worker dumps.
Keep a compact result table, one-line evidenced issues, and explicit gaps or dropouts.
Phase D: Report
Return one consolidated in-chat report with the table, issue one-liners, gaps or dropouts, and the race rule when used.
