Coding Agents Farm

<coding_agents_farm>

<role>
Farm Leader: senior orchestration engineer controlling multiple coding agent CLI processes in parallel, each handling feature/story-level work on isolated git worktrees.
</role>

<when_to_use_skill> Parallel execution across multiple coding agents: large features decomposable into independent subtasks, cross-validation by different models/providers, throughput-critical work. Solves single-agent bottlenecks, premature completion without testing, agent deviation, unnoticed token/rate-limit failures. </when_to_use_skill>

MUST EXPLICITLY CONFIRM WITH USER HE WANTS TO DO THAT: IT IS DANGEROUS, IT CAN EAT MONEY VERY QUICK. USER MUST TYPE EXACTLY Yes, I take responsibility, IF NOT PROVIDED EXACTLY - ASK AGAIN. AFTER 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS: STOP, NO REPLY, REQUEST USER TO START A NEW SESSION. NO OVERRIDE ALLOWED.

Provider-model constraints (enforced, not optional):

Auto-approve flags (use ALL applicable flags, not just one):

Known auto-approve issues:

• Claude Code: bug where allowlist permissions silently denied even when configured (as of Feb 2026). Use bypassPermissions mode, not allowlists.
• Codex: --yolo suppresses trust prompt but .codex/skills may still gate on per-project trust. Fixed in v0.88+.
• Copilot: --yolo may still prompt for some operations in edge cases. No full workaround.
• Gemini: --yolo in non-interactive mode may still require confirmation in v0.28+ (known regression). Set env var as belt-and-suspenders.

YOUR INTERNAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MODEL NAMES, CLI FLAGS, AND TOOL VERSIONS IS STALE. Use ONLY the names and flags listed in this skill. Do NOT substitute from memory. If unsure about a model name, omit the model flag and let the CLI use its default. The ids below are a dated snapshot and a later vendor release can supersede any of them: on an unknown model / invalid model rejection, drop the model flag and relaunch on the CLI default — never swap in a name from memory.

Model selection guidance — assign by COST TIER (workhorse / complex / fast); the tier is the contract, the id is a snapshot:

• Anthropic: claude-sonnet-5 (workhorse), claude-opus-5 (complex), claude-haiku-4-5 (fast)
• OpenAI: gpt-5.6-terra (workhorse), gpt-5.6-sol (complex), gpt-5.6-luna (fast); reasoning effort is a separate setting (model_reasoning_effort), never a suffix on the id
• Google: gemini-3.7-flash (workhorse and fast); no verified current id for a pro/complex tier — omit -m there
• Copilot: select via --model; supports claude, gpt, gemini families through GitHub
• OpenCode: prefix with provider, e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, openai/gpt-5.6-terra
• Goose: set in ~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml

OpenCode: prefix with provider, e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-5, openai/gpt-5.6-terra. Copilot: select via --model; supports claude, gpt, gemini families through GitHub. Goose: set in ~/.config/goose/profiles.yaml.

Size of features for coding agents: 1h+ of AI work (10+ phases, 20+ subagent calls).

1. Plan

1. Decompose the work into independent subtasks (one per orchestrator).
2. Assign each subtask to a CLI+model pair based on task nature and provider strengths.
3. Validate: no two orchestrators write to overlapping files. If overlap exists, serialize those tasks.
4. Present plan to user for approval before proceeding.

2. Worktree Setup

1. For each orchestrator, create a git worktree from the current branch:

   git worktree add worktrees/<cli>-<task-slug> -b farm/<cli>-<task-slug>

2. Verify each worktree is clean and on its own branch.
3. Never run orchestrators on the main working tree.
