Individual skill

brigade

Give a project or a focus area its own standing head chef. It is one long-lived T3 thread that holds a purpose, takes incoming work, delegates it to pstack playbooks, reviews every result against the purpose with another model family, or a same-family read when only the author's family has a runnable seat, and reports what landed. Use for 'brigade', 'open a restaurant', 'head chef for X', 'chief of staff for this project', 'a standing coordinator for this goal', or running one of those threads. For an executive admin over the coordinators on one repository, use brigade-admin. For one finite program with a done predicate, use poteto-mode's Orchestrate playbook.

# Brigade

Read [the pstack-t3 runtime](../pstack-runtime/SKILL.md) before spawning workers, choosing models, scheduling, or isolating work. It maps those steps onto T3's orchestrator tools.

Brigade copies Lauren Tan's Cursor Projects setup. The user is the executive chef. Each restaurant is one project, or one focus area inside a project. Each has one head chef: a pinned top-level thread that never writes code. It delegates, reviews, and drives work toward the restaurant's purpose. The user moves between restaurants and reviews what landed.

Every mechanism here comes from pstack. Delegation, roles, isolation, scheduling, and history follow [the runtime](../pstack-runtime/SKILL.md). Workers run poteto-mode playbooks.

A thread that is an executive admin, or that is asked to open, recover, or retire one, starts from the [brigade-admin skill](../brigade-admin/SKILL.md).
