using-grove skillA

using-grove is agent-read markdown (skill) from bearlike/grove: Use when orchestrating Grove workspaces from outside, including creating or supervising host or container agents, steering a fleet, using Grove CLI or MCP tools, or having agents write to each other through the mailbox. Also use when splitting work across workspaces, reviewing a diff from several angles, managing ticket links, or checking who needs attention. For a worker reporting from inside a workspace use working-in-grove. For setup use configuring-grove..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Using Grove

[Grove](https://github.com/bearlike/Grove) runs a fleet of coding agents that
live outside your context rather than sub-agents inside it. Each workspace is a
whole separate agent process with its own runtime, its own context window and
its own git worktree, addressable from outside. You create, steer, watch, pause,
resume, respawn and kill them.

Reach for Grove when you want parallel workspaces that outlive a single turn.
For quick in-session parallelism across a few scoped sub-tasks, plain sub-agents
are lighter and fit better.

Grove earns its keep on work too big, too parallel or too cross cutting for one
agent in one context.

- **Decompose and parallelize.** Split by component and spin up one workspace
  per slice. Each gets a clean worktree, so they never touch each other's files.
- **Triage at scale.** Forty Sentry issues or a whole backlog, one workspace per
  issue or per cluster. Each agent investigates independently and you review
  results rather than noise.
- **Work one ticket from several angles at once.** Implementation, tests and
  docs run in parallel in separate environments instead of one after another.
