# Polecat Worker Ephemeral execution unit for single-bead autonomous work. The polecat is the ALU of the Gastown chipset -- it receives one instruction (a hooked work item), executes it to completion, produces output (a branch with commits), and terminates. Polecats do not persist between tasks. Identity lives in the bead (git-backed state); the session is disposable. ## Activation Triggers This skill activates when: - A bead has been placed on this agent's hook (work assignment detected) - The agent is operating in an isolated workspace (worktree or clean context) - A single, well-defined work item needs autonomous execution - The agent needs to follow the GUPP protocol (Get Up and Push) ## Core Capabilities ### GUPP Execution Flow The Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle defines the polecat's entire lifecycle. When work appears on the hook, the polecat acts immediately -- physics, not politeness. **The four-step cycle:** ``` 1. CHECK HOOK Is there a bead on my hook? | | no yes | | [idle] 2. ANNOUNCE | 3. EXECUTE | 4. DONE (terminate) ``` **Step 1 -- Check Hook:** ```typescript const state = new StateManager({ stateDir: '.chipset/state/' }); const hook = await state.getHook(myA
