Team Ultra Analyze Skill

Team Ultra Analyze

Deep collaborative analysis: explore -> analyze -> discuss -> synthesize. Supports Quick/Standard/Deep pipeline modes with configurable depth (N parallel agents). Discussion loops enable user-guided progressive understanding.

Pipeline (Standard mode):
  [EXPLORE-1..N](parallel) -> [ANALYZE-1..N](parallel) -> DISCUSS-001 -> SYNTH-001

Pipeline (Deep mode):
  [EXPLORE-1..N] -> [ANALYZE-1..N] -> DISCUSS-001 -> ANALYZE-fix -> DISCUSS-002 -> ... -> SYNTH-001

Pipeline (Quick mode):
  EXPLORE-001 -> ANALYZE-001 -> SYNTH-001

Role Registry

| Role | Path | Prefix | Inner Loop | |------|------|--------|------------| | coordinator | roles/coordinator/role.md | — | — | | explorer | roles/explorer/role.md | EXPLORE-* | false | | analyst | roles/analyst/role.md | ANALYZE-* | false | | discussant | roles/discussant/role.md | DISCUSS-* | false | | synthesizer | roles/synthesizer/role.md | SYNTH-* | false |

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

Has --role <name> → Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
No --role → roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Delegation Lock

Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

| Tool Call | Verdict | Reason | |-----------|---------|--------| | spawn_agent, wait_agent, close_agent, send_message, assign_task | ALLOWED | Orchestration | | list_agents | ALLOWED | Agent health check | | request_user_input | ALLOWED | User interaction | | mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg | ALLOWED | Message bus | | Read/Write on .workflow/.team/ files | ALLOWED | Session state | | Read on roles/, commands/, specs/ | ALLOWED | Loading own instructions | | Read/Grep/Glob on project source code | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker | | Edit on any file outside .workflow/ | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker | | Bash("ccw cli ...") | BLOCKED | Only workers call CLI | | Bash running build/test/lint commands | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |

If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.

No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Shared Constants

Session prefix: UAN
Session path: .workflow/.team/UAN-<slug>-<date>/
Team name: ultra-analyze
CLI tools: ccw cli --mode analysis (read-only), ccw cli --mode write (modifications)
Message bus: mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...)

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  items: [
    { type: "text", text: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <topic-description>
inner_loop: false

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>` },

    { type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
<prev_context>` }
  ]
})

After spawning, use wait_agent({ targets: [...], timeout_ms: 900000 }) to collect results, then close_agent({ target }) each worker.

Model Selection Guide

| Role | model | reasoning_effort | Rationale | |------|-------|-------------------|-----------| | Explorer (EXPLORE-) | (default) | medium | File reading and pattern scanning, less reasoning needed | | Analyst (ANALYZE-) | (default) | high | Deep analysis requires full reasoning | | Discussant (DISCUSS-) | (default) | high | Synthesis of multiple viewpoints, dialectic reasoning | | Synthesizer (SYNTH-) | (default) | medium | Aggregation and summary over generation |

Override model/reasoning_effort in spawn_agent when cost optimization is needed:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_context: false,
  model: "<model-override>",
  reasoning_effort: "<effort-level>",
  items: [...]
})

User Commands

| Command | Action | |---------|--------| | check / status | Output execution status diagram, do not advance pipeline | | resume / continue | Check worker status, advance to next pipeline step |

v4 Agent Coordination

Message Semantics

| Intent | API | Example | |--------|-----|---------| | Send exploration findings to running analysts | send_message | Queue upstream context without interrupting ANALYZE-* workers | | Not used in this skill | assign_task | No resident agents -- all workers are one-shot | | Check running agents | list_agents | Verify parallel explorer/analyst health during resume |

Parallel Phase Coordination

Standard/Deep modes spawn N parallel agents in EXPLORE and ANALYZE phases. Use batch spawn + wait:

// EXPLORE phase: spawn N explorers in parallel
const explorerNames = ["EXPLORE-001", "EXPLORE-002", ..., "EXPLORE-00N"]
for (const name of explorerNames) {
  spawn_agent({ agent_type: "team_worker", task_name: name, ... })
}
wait_agent({ targets: explorerNames, timeout_ms: 900000 })
// Collect all results, then spawn ANALYZE phase

// ANALYZE phase: send exploration context to analysts via items (not send_message)
// since analysts are spawned AFTER explorers complete

Agent Health Check

Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:

// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with tasks.json active_agents
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending
// Critical for parallel phases -- multiple agents may crash independently

Named Agent Targeting

Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:

send_message({ target: "ANALYZE-001", items: [...] }) -- queue supplementary exploration findings
close_agent({ target: "EXPLORE-001" }) -- cleanup by name after wait_agent returns

Completion Action

When pipeline completes, coordinator presents:

request_user_input({
  questions: [{
    question: "Ultra-Analyze pipeline complete. What would you like to do?",
    header: "Completion",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Archive & Clean (Recommended)", description: "Archive session, clean up tasks and team resources" },
      { label: "Keep Active", description: "Keep session active for follow-up work or inspection" },
      { label: "Export Results", description: "Export deliverables to a specified location, then clean" }
    ]
  }]
})

| Choice | Action | |--------|--------| | Archive & Clean | Update session status="completed" -> output final summary | | Keep Active | Update session status="paused" -> output resume instructions | | Export Results | request_user_input for target path -> copy deliverables -> Archive & Clean |

Error Handling

| Scenario | Resolution | |----------|------------| | Unknown --role value | Error with role registry list | | Role file not found | Error with expected path (roles/{name}/role.md) | | Discussion loop stuck >5 rounds | Force synthesis, offer continuation | | CLI tool unavailable | Fallback chain: gemini -> codex -> manual analysis | | Explorer agent fails | Continue with available context, note limitation | | Fast-advance conflict | Coordinator reconciles on next callback | | Completion action fails | Default to Keep Active |
