Instructions

# Workflow Orchestrator


**State Management:** This skill uses `scripts/state.py` CLI for all state operations.
- Phase transitions: `python3 scripts/state.py transition <phase>`
- Checkpoint config: `python3 scripts/state.py checkpoint <phase> <on|off>`
- Autopilot mode: `python3 scripts/state.py autopilot <on|off|toggle>`

## Configuration

Load from `~/.claude/plugins/agent-swarm/config/workflow.json`:

```bash
python3 scripts/state.py transition <phase>
```

### Discover Available Tools
Before starting any task, know what's available:
```bash
# Full inventory
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/agent-swarm/scripts/inventory.py all

# Find right tool for a need
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/agent-swarm/scripts/inventory.py tools "find function definition"
```

**Tool Selection Priority:**
1. Serena → for code analysis (NOT Read)
2. Context7 → for docs (NOT WebSearch)
3. Batch scripts → for multiple operations
4. MCP tools → for single operations
5. Read/Bash → last resort only

### Transition Phase
```bash
python3 << 'EOF'
import json, sys
from pathlib import Path

new_phase = "PHASE_NAME"  # Replace with target phase

state_path = Path.home() / ".claude/plugins/agent-swarm/.state/session.json"
state = json.loads(state_path.read_text())

old_phase = state.get("phase", "")
state["phase"] = new_phase

# Reset counters on phase change
state["search_count"] = 0
state["read_count"] = 0

state_path.write_text(json.dumps(state, indent=2))

checkpoint_needed = state.get("checkpoints", {}).get(new_phase, False)
print(f"[ORCHESTRATOR] {old_phase} → {new_phase}")
if checkpoint_needed:
    print(f"  ⚠️  CHECKPOINT: Get user approval before proceeding")
EOF
```

### Check Checkpoint
```bash
python3 << 'EOF'
import json
from pathlib import Path

state_path = Path.home() / ".claude/plugins/agent-swarm/.state/session.json"
state = json.loads(state_path.read_text())

phase = state.get("phase", "")
needs_checkpoint = state.get("checkpoints", {}).get(phase, False)
autopilot = state.get("autopil
