> **Agent timeout**: `spawn_agent` 异步执行且无内置超时 — 除明确短任务外一律 `spawn_agent` 后立即 `wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 3600000 })`（上限 1 小时）阻塞等待，绝不依赖 30000 默认值；`timed_out: true` 且 Agent 未完成时再次 `wait_agent` 续等，不丢弃。批量场景使用 `spawn_agents_on_csv({ max_runtime_seconds: 3600, ... })`。

# Team Swarm

Orchestrate ant-colony-style exploration over a user-defined task space. **Hybrid coordinator**: LLM handles task translation + worker spawning; Python script owns all numeric decisions (selection / pheromone update / convergence). Universal — task space and scoring rule come from `swarm-config.json`.

## Architecture

```
spawn_agent({ task_name: "team_swarm", message: "Execute skill team-swarm, args: task description" })

     +-- Phase 1: gen swarm-config
     +-- Phase 2: init  --> Bash: scripts/aco.py init
     +-- Phase 3: iterate (K rounds, each = spawn-and-stop)
     |   |
     |   +-- Bash: aco.py select --iter k  -> N assignments
     |   +-- Spawn N x team-worker(ant)
     |   +-- [callback when all ants done]
     |   +-- (optional) Spawn team-worker(scorer)
     |   +-- Bash: aco.py update --iter k
     |   +-- Bash: aco.py converged
     |   +-- branch: loop k+1 OR Phase 4
     |
     +-- Phase 4: converge --> Bash: aco.py report -> Spawn team-worker(analyst)
                                                    -> best-solution.md
```

## Role Registry

| Role | Path | Prefix | Inner Loop |
|------|------|--------|------------|
| coordinator | [roles/coordinator/role.md](roles/coordinator/role.md) | — | — |
| ant | [roles/ant/role.md](roles/ant/role.md) | ANT-* | false |
| scorer | [roles/scorer/role.md](roles/scorer/role.md) | SCORE-* | false |
| analyst | [roles/analyst/role.md](roles/analyst/role.md) | ANALYST-* | 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

## Shared Constants

- **Session prefix**: `TS`
- **Session path**: `{run_dir}/work/team/`
- **Team name**: `swarm`
- **Script root**: `<skill_root>/scripts/aco.py` (Python 3.10+)
- **Message bus**: `mcp__maestro__team_msg(session_id=<run-id>, ...)`

## Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

```
spawn_agent({
  subagent_type: "team-worker",
  description: "Spawn <role> worker",
  team_name: "swarm",
  name: "<role>",
  run_in_background: true,
  prompt: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: {run_dir}/work/team
session_id: <run-id>
team_name: swarm
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: false

## Assignment (ant only)
<assignment JSON from aco.py select>

## Progress Milestones
session_id: <run-id>
Report progress via team_msg at natural phase boundaries.
Report blockers immediately via team_msg type="blocker".
Report completion via team_msg type="task_complete" after final send_message.

Read role_spec file (@<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.
Execute built-in Phase 1 (task discovery) -> role Phase 2-4 -> built-in Phase 5 (report).`
})
```

## User Commands

| Command | Action |
|---------|--------|
| `check` / `status` | View iteration progress + convergence curve |
| `resume` / `continue` | Resume interrupted iteration |
| `feedback <text>` | Inject feedback into wisdom; applies at next iteration |
| `revise <ITER>` | Re-run a specific iteration (rare) |

## Completion Action

When swarm converges, coordinator presents:

```
request_user_input({
  questions: [{
    question: "Swarm pipeline complete. What would you like to do?",
    header: "Completion",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Archive & Clean (Recommended)", description: "Archive session, delete team" },
      { label: "Keep Active", description: "Preserve for follow-up" },
      { label: "Export Best Solution", description: "Copy best-solution.md to target" },
      { label: "Run Another Round", description: "Reset convergence, K more iterations" }
    ]
  }]
})
```

## Error Handling

| Scenario | Resolution |
|----------|------------|
| `aco.py` not found | Verify `<skill_root>/scripts/aco.py`; check Python install |
| Python version < 3.10 | Use `python3` or report dependency error |
| Config validation fails | request_user_input to fix, regenerate, retry |
| All ants fail in iteration | Halt, request_user_input (retry / abort / refine config) |
| Hallucination cluster (>50%) | Pause, request_user_input (continue / refine scoring) |
| Convergence never trips | `max_iterations` safety net always fires |
| Session corruption | Phase 0 reconciliation; archive if irrecoverable |
