description: Bring one interactive coworker into a dispatched worker's current Herdr tab and exact worktree. Use from an in-progress worker when the user asks to pull in a colleague or a rule requires a human-facing second-agent review.

# Bring a coworker

## 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. 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 verification method
directly; 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.

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