# Worker Protocol ## Overview This skill defines the behavioral contract for spawned worker agents. It is injected into worker prompts and governs how workers operate. **Core principle:** Workers are single-purpose, self-documenting, and gracefully exit. **Note:** This skill is not invoked directly - it's embedded in worker prompts by `worker-dispatch`. ## Worker Identity Every worker has: | Property | Example | Purpose | |----------|---------|---------| | `worker_id` | `worker-1701523200-123` | Unique identifier | | `issue` | `123` | Assigned issue number | | `attempt` | `1` | Which attempt this is | | `orchestration_id` | `orch-2025-12-02-001` | Parent orchestration | ## Startup Checklist Workers MUST execute this checklist before starting work: ```markdown ## Worker Startup Checklist 1. [ ] Read assigned issue completely 2. [ ] Check issue comments for context/history 3. [ ] Verify on correct branch (`git branch --show-current`) 4. [ ] Check worktree is clean (`git status`) 5. [ ] Run existing tests to verify baseline (`pnpm test` or equivalent) 6. [ ] Post startup comment to issue ``` ### Startup Comment Template ```markdown 🤖 **Worker Started** | Property | Value | |---------
