The design calls for a scenario that stresses the whole stack at once: agents working in parallel, a server and a CI worker, and processes killed along the way.

.claude/skills/swarm-scenario/ is a skill you run from T3 Code:

  1. Three agents work in parallel workspaces and land on a feature target. One changes a shared signature that another depends on, so a landing conflicts.
  2. Stale CI results are rerun, and unchanged ones are promoted.
  3. A checkout, the CI worker and the server are each killed with kill -9 along the way.
  4. The work reaches main in one acceptance.
  5. The skill verifies the target chains, the revisions, which results reran or were promoted, and that single acceptance, and reports timings.

scripted.sh is a dry run of every step, with scripted edits in place of the agents. It takes about 14 s once built, and fails if origin regresses. Every fix pass in this stack ran it.

Real agents launched through delegate_task haven't been run yet.

Note

Written by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, reviewed by GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 over three review rounds (via T3 Code).

Scenario runbook

  • Added .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/SKILL.md, a runbook for running Origin’s swarm scenario from T3 Code. Three agents work in separate workspaces and land overlapping code changes and a documentation change on the swarm target.
  • The runbook covers building Origin, configuring a local server and CI worker, setting policy and checks, issuing scoped tokens, delegating agent tasks, resolving a conflict, and landing the swarm target on main.
  • It describes killing a checkout, the CI worker, and the server with kill -9. It also documents expected recovery, check reruns and promotions, target-chain and revision verification, and timing and failure reporting.
  • The runbook instructs users to run the scripted dry run first. It states that the runbook scenario uses /tmp/origin-swarm and port 7979.

Scripted dry run

  • Added scripted.sh, which builds the release packages and runs a scripted version of the scenario on a temporary run directory and port 7978 by default. Scripted file edits replace agent work.
  • The script sets up the server, worker, users, tokens, checks, targets, and fixture. It triggers the checkout, worker, and server kills, then resolves the code conflict and lands swarm on main.
  • It checks expected landings and waits, compares target chains in a fresh clone, compares change revision histories, checks selected CI statements, and requires exactly four ci.test pass in entries in the worker log. It kills recorded processes and background jobs on exit and prints timings and the run-directory path.
  • The runbook says the dry run takes about 15 seconds once built. No completed build or dry-run result was supplied.

Shared helpers

  • Added the swarm Bash helper for creating per-user Origin launchers and configurations, starting the server and worker, and writing policy, check, and fixture files.
  • Added commands to kill and recreate a workspace during checkout, restart the worker after killing it during ci.test, and restart the server after a push. The helper also records scenario step timings.

Repository guidance

  • Updated AGENTS.md to describe the scenario as a T3 Code skill and point to scripted.sh as its dry run.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds a runbook and Bash tools for a multi-agent swarm scenario. The tools set up an Origin server, CI worker, fixture, policies, and agent workspaces; exercise concurrent changes and process interruptions; then resolve conflicts and verify landing histories, CI results, and timings.

Changes: Swarm scenario

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scenario setup
.claude/skills/swarm-scenario/SKILL.md, .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/scripted.sh, .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/swarm, AGENTS.md
The runbook documents setup, agent tasks, recovery, verification, and reporting. The scripts build and configure the server and worker, create fixture and policy changes, issue scoped tokens, and define scenario checks.
Concurrent changes and interruptions
.claude/skills/swarm-scenario/scripted.sh, .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/swarm
The scenario runs three agent changes, including a conflict, and exercises interrupted checkout, worker termination during a check, and server restart after a push.
Conflict resolution and verification
.claude/skills/swarm-scenario/scripted.sh, .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/swarm
The script resolves the conflict, lands the swarm target on main, verifies branch and revision histories and CI statements, checks the CI run count, and prints timings and logs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review d1cc6

The scenario can hang after checkout failure or pass without interrupting its own check. Cleanup also risks killing an unrelated process if a stale PID is reused. Address these tooling failures before merging.

The title "chore(skills): add the swarm scenario skill" matches the main change. The PR adds the .claude/skills/swarm-scenario/ skill, including its SKILL.md runbook, the swarm helper, and scripted.sh dry run, and adds a short AGENTS.md entry describing it. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional commit prefix. It does not list files or use vague wording, so it passes.

Avoid signaling stale PID files during cleanup.

If the server exits before its replacement starts, its PID file remains. If that PID is reused, the exit trap can kill an unrelated process. Use lifecycle-safe process tracking for cleanup instead of signaling stale PID files.

Stop waiting when checkout fails.

If workspace new exits before creating an asset, the loop spins indefinitely and blocks the scenario. Check the child’s status and bound the wait so the helper reports the failure instead.

Restrict the kill trigger to this worker’s check.

If another scenario’s check is running, pgrep can match it and kill this worker before the first agent’s check starts. The run can then pass without testing recovery from an interrupted check. Match a check belonging to this worker before killing it.

The design calls for a swarm scenario run from T3 Code: agents in parallel
workspaces landing overlapping work through a server and a CI worker,
while processes are killed, then checks that chains, revisions, reruns,
promotions and the single acceptance on `main` hold.

`.claude/skills/swarm-scenario/SKILL.md` is that runbook, with the agent
prompts and exact verification commands. `swarm` holds its helpers
(per-user wrappers, the fixture and policy, the server and worker, the
kill points, timings), shared with `scripted.sh`, a dry run of every step
with scripted edits in place of the agents, which fails if origin
regresses, such as a worker that dies with the server, or one user's
rights refusing another's push.
