# stampede
The owner texts a task to a Grok Bot, which reaches the owner's Mac over Tailscale, and every update and question goes back through it (it works without a bot too). One ask, one lead, and a pane only when it's worth it. The lead plans in `plan.md`, works, and brings the owner only the questions and gates that are theirs.
- **Starting a job** (any chat the owner asks to use stampede): read [skills/stampede/SKILL.md](skills/stampede/SKILL.md).
- **Running the job** (the lead, or a chat that will open panes): read [skills/herdr-fleet/SKILL.md](skills/herdr-fleet/SKILL.md).
- **A bot front door** (outside Herdr, over SSH): read [skills/grokbot-herdr/SKILL.md](skills/grokbot-herdr/SKILL.md).
- **The owner asks to see the plan first:** read [skills/share-plan/SKILL.md](skills/share-plan/SKILL.md).
## Front door
The front door is its own skill, installed as `stampede`: [skills/stampede/SKILL.md](skills/stampede/SKILL.md). It sizes the job, writes the ask, opens a Herdr workspace for the project when the chat is outside Herdr, and starts the lead with `stampede new` (with `--front-door` when the chat is outside Herdr, and `--fork` when the plan was worked out in that chat). In a `--front-door` job it then relays the lead's outbox (plan, questions, gates, files) to the owner and their answers back. `stampede` is the same command as `fleet-job`.
