# Bring a coworker

A coworker is one interactive agent you bring into your own Herdr tab and

worktree for a second opinion or file-disjoint support. You integrate its

result, and coworker nesting stops at this one level.

## 1. Scope the second opinion

Give the coworker one outcome that can run beside your current task. Default to

review-only. A writing task names a disjoint repo-relative `--writable-path`

scope.

Complete when the task is independently useful and its write scope is disjoint.

## 2. Start beside you

Use your canonical instruction path from the dispatch contract:

```bash

uv run --script "$HOME/.straw-boss/bin/run-straw-boss-script.py" \

--origin-root "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$PWD}" --prefer-installed \

--script dispatch-coworker.py -- \

--parent-instruction-path <your-instruction-path> \

--slug <unique-slug> [--name <short-name>] \

--agent-kind claude|codex --task "<user requirement and integrated context>" \

[--writable-path <repo-relative-path>]...

```

The command authenticates your session, opens the coworker in this tab and

worktree, injects its contract, and confirms delivery. Omit `--name` for a

`<app>-coworker` handle derived automatically. Complete when it returns the

coworker's pane and instruction path.

## 3. Work with the user

Point the user to the coworker pane. The coworker and user decide feedback and

choose the specification, design, implementation, and the verification method

inside the anchor you scoped for it; continue on your disjoint scope.

Complete when the coworker reports `done` or `failed`; parent and root

coordinator receive that terminal event automatically.

## 4. Integrate and close

- Review the reported result, integrate the conclusion, close only the coworker

- pane, then run `wrap-up-task.py --app <app> --slug <slug>`. The shared tab and

- your own instruction remain active.

+ Integrate the reported result, then use [dispatching-work wrap-up](../dispatching-work/SKILL.md#wrap-up) for the coworker instruction. The shared tab and your own instruction remain active.

Complete when the pane is closed and the coworker instruction is archived.
