Individual skill

marathon

Run a list of work units to completion with an Agent Team: derive a dependency DAG and hot-file map, spawn one ephemeral teammate per unit (or combined group), drive each PR through pr-review-merge, smart-merge in waves, recover from crashes, and run a retrospective. Source-agnostic — the caller supplies a work-source adapter. A library skill invoked BY the /tm and /issues commands, not run directly by a user (it needs a caller-supplied adapter). TRIGGER when a command needs autonomous multi-unit team orchestration to completion — a tag, issue queue, backlog, or set of tickets run to done with Agent Teams. For a single PR use pr-review-merge instead; not for one-off single-task work.

# Marathon Engine

Source-agnostic team orchestration. The caller supplies a **work-source adapter**; this
skill owns DAG analysis, hot-file combining, team lifecycle, waves, crash recovery, and
the retrospective. It uses the `pr-review-merge` skill for every PR.

## Work-Source Adapter Contract

The calling command MUST fill these four operations before invoking this skill:

| Operation | What it returns / does |
