Divide and Conquer

Decompose a task into a br epic with child issues, then execute that graph through an NTM-managed swarm. Autonomous: analyze -> load or mint the epic in br -> write/tighten the full node contract in Beads -> spawn a wave swarm using br ready/br scheduler -> dispatch Beads-rendered node briefs (each carrying a br issue ID) -> monitor -> collect evidence attachments -> reconcile br state -> advance waves -> run final integration review (close-eligible epic, flush JSONL) -> commit .beads/issues.jsonl with the slice changes -> report. Markdown files are generated views or evidence attachments only. No approval gates.

For massive runs, this skill can add a subgoal tier between the root slice and leaf execution nodes. A subgoal is a Beads-backed delegation boundary over a filtered ready frontier, represented by a durable subgoal controller issue plus slice:{root} and subgoal:{slug} labels. Use subgoals when a single orchestrator would otherwise serialize independent frontiers or fill its context tending one child process at a time.
