Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
- Coordinating parallel bead execution across agents - Tracking progress of distributed work - Landing (merging) completed convoy results ## Process 1. **Create convoy** from goal or MEOW decomposition 2. **Decompose** into beads (persistent) and wisps (ephemeral) 3. **Assign** beads to Crew (long-lived) or Polecats (transient) 4. **Track** progress via hooks and heartbeats 5. **Verify** all beads complete with quality checks 6. **Land** convoy by merging bead branches ## Key Concepts - **Convoy**: Primary work-order wrapping related beads - **Bead**: Git-backed atomic work unit (issue/task) - **Wisp**: Ephemeral bead destroyed after successful run - **GUPP**: If there is work on your Hook, YOU MUST RUN IT ## Agents Used - `agents/mayor/` - Creates and coordinates convoys - `agents/crew-lead/` - Persistent collaborator on beads - `agents/polecat/` - Transient worker for individual beads ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/gastown/gastown-convoy`

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
