gang

Original：🇨🇳 Chinese

Translated

GANG entry skill. When a user types /gang, it indicates that they want to upgrade the current pane to a GANG orchestrator and start the GANG closed-loop. The skill content = run `hive gang init`, move the current pane to a new window, set up the board + skeptic, and automatically dispatch /gang-orch to take over the duty.

GANG — Entry

You are triggered by

/gang

; the user wants to start the GANG closed-loop. You only need to do one thing: run the following command in the current pane:

bash

hive gang init

That's it. After execution, you will see:

The current pane is switched to a new gang window, with the orch identity carried over
Within the same window, skeptic (heterogeneous CLI, claude↔codex; droid defaults to claude) and board (BLACKBOARD.md opened in vim) will appear
```
/gang-orch
```
automatically takes over the orch pane, and this skill exits

If the user wants to explicitly specify a gang instance name, they can pass

--name <name>

; if not specified, the CLI will assign it automatically.

Prerequisites

The current pane is running an agent CLI (claude / codex / droid), not a bare shell
No need to run
```
hive init
```
in the workspace first ——
```
hive gang init
```
can run independently and will automatically create a team/workspace if not initialized

Boundaries (This skill only does one thing)

This skill is only responsible for running

hive gang init

. All other responsibilities are handled by the CLI and downstream skills:

tmux window / pane layout — Handled by
```
hive gang init
```
itself
skeptic / board spawn — Handled internally by
```
hive gang init
```
Workspace path / agent name — Automatically inferred from the current pane context and used directly
Planning / feature splitting — This is the duty after
```
/gang-orch
```
takes over, and this skill is not involved

Error Handling Fallbacks

hive: command not found

→ Tell the user to run

pipx install git+https://github.com/notdp/hive.git

If the error "not an agent pane" is reported → The current pane is not an agent CLI; switch to a pane running claude/codex/droid and run
```
/gang
```
again

Model Heterogeneity

hive gang init

will by default use the anti-orch family CLI to start the skeptic (claude↔codex; droid defaults to claude). If the current CLI is droid but running an Anthropic model (opus / sonnet), explicitly override it with:
