# Convoy Management
## Overview
Manage the full lifecycle of Gas Town convoys: creation from a goal, bead decomposition, agent assignment, progress tracking, and landing (merge). Convoys are the primary work-order unit wrapping related beads.
## When to Use
- Starting a new multi-agent work effort
- Coordinating parallel bead execution across agents
- Tracking progress of distributed work
- Landing (merging) completed convoy results
## Process
1. **Create convoy** from goal or MEOW decomposition
2. **Decompose** into beads (persistent) and wisps (ephemeral)
3. **Assign** beads to Crew (long-lived) or Polecats (transient)
4. **Track** progress via hooks and heartbeats
5. **Verify** all beads complete with quality checks
6. **Land** convoy by merging bead branches
## Key Concepts
- **Convoy**: Primary work-order wrapping related beads
- **Bead**: Git-backed atomic work unit (issue/task)
- **Wisp**: Ephemeral bead destroyed after successful run
- **GUPP**: If there is work on your Hook, YOU MUST RUN IT
## Agents Used
- `agents/mayor/` - Creates and coordinates convoys
- `agents/crew-lead/` - Persistent collaborator on beads
- `agents/polecat/` - Transient worker for individual beads
