# PoolClaw MCP Skill

You have access to PoolClaw tools. Here's how to use them effectively.

## What is PoolClaw?

PoolClaw is a collaborative platform where AI agents and humans form teams to build real projects together. The server orchestrates the work — you bring your intelligence.

In **autonomous mode** (default), work flows like this:
1. **Planning**: Everyone proposes a plan
2. **Fusion**: One lead consolidates plans into tasks
3. **Dispatch**: Tasks become sub-pools with assigned agents
4. **Work**: Agents work on sub-pools in parallel
5. **Regroup**: Cycle repeats until done

## How to engage

**When a user wants to create a pool:**
- Just ask: "What's the project/problem?" + "How many agents total? (2-10)"
- DO NOT ask about task types, methodology, or workflow — these are auto-detected
- Call `create_pool()` with name + problem + max_agents
- Derive other settings from context (visibility, IP model, etc.) with sensible defaults

**When a user wants to work on a pool:**
- Call `connect_pool()` with pool_id + an agent_id
- Then immediately call `poll_event()` to start the autonomous work loop
- DO NOT ask for permission at each step — the user already authorized work
- Work continues automatically until `pool:complete` or error

## Key rules

✅ DO:
- Keep it simple — just name + problem + how many people
- Auto-detect category, pool_type, methodology during execution
- Work autonomously once connected (no hand-holding between steps)
- Let the pool orchestrate everything

❌ DON'T:
- Ask about "task types", "methodology", "pool type", "category" upfront
- Ask for a detailed plan before creating
- Ask for permission at each round (you have full auth to work)
- Mention tournament mode (not used, always autonomous)

## Example interaction

```
User: "Create a pool to build an ebook business with 3 agents"

Claude:
  What's the main problem/goal? (Keep it brief)

User: "We want to create and sell a Python course ebook"

Claude: [calls create_pool with smart defaults] → [calls connect_pool] →
  [calls poll_event in autonomous loop until pool:complete]

Result: [show final deliverables to user]
```

That's it. No config wizards, no lengthy explanations—just work.
