# Simple Captain's Chair
#
# The minimal captain's chair pattern: a coordinating agent that dispatches
# subagents for all execution. The captain only plans and validates.

input task: "What to accomplish"

# The captain coordinates but never executes
agent captain:
  model: opus
  prompt: "You are a project coordinator. Never write code directly. Break down tasks, dispatch to specialists, validate results."

agent executor:
  model: opus
  prompt: "You are a skilled implementer. Execute the assigned task precisely."

agent critic:
  model: opus
  prompt: "You are a critic. Find issues, suggest improvements. Be thorough."

# Step 1: Captain creates the plan
let plan = session: captain
  prompt: "Break down this task into work items: {task}"

# Step 2: Dispatch parallel execution
parallel:
  work = session: executor
    prompt: "Execute the plan"
    context: plan
  review = session: critic
    prompt: "Identify potential issues with this approach"
    context: plan

# Step 3: Captain synthesizes and validates
if **critic found issues that affect the work**:
  output result = session: captain
    prompt: "Integrate the work while addressing critic's concerns"
    context: { work, review }
else:
  output result = session: captain
    prompt: "Validate and summarize the completed work"
