Convoy Management
Overview
Manage the full lifecycle of Gas Town convoys: creation from a goal, bead decomposition, agent assignment, progress tracking, and landing (merge). Convoys are the primary work-order unit wrapping related beads.
When to Use
- Starting a new multi-agent work effort
- Coordinating parallel bead execution across agents
- Tracking progress of distributed work
- Landing (merging) completed convoy results
Process
- Create convoy from goal or MEOW decomposition
- Decompose into beads (persistent) and wisps (ephemeral)
- Assign beads to Crew (long-lived) or Polecats (transient)
- Track progress via hooks and heartbeats
- Verify all beads complete with quality checks
- 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

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
