Ported from oh-my-codex worker. OMX runtime conventions ($macro invocation, omx CLI, .omx/ state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list, .workbuddy/memory).

Worker Protocol (WorkBuddy subagent)

This skill describes the discipline a WorkBuddy subagent (spawned via the Agent tool) should follow when a leader assigns it a unit of work. In OMX this was a tmux-pane Team worker driven by omx team api; in WorkBuddy there is no tmux runtime or omx binary. Coordination happens through (a) the Agent's returned result, and (b) optional shared artifacts under .omw/team/<team>/. The value preserved here is the claim-safe lifecycle, ACK-readback, and evidence discipline — not the transport.

Identity

A worker is created by a leader who spawns an Agent with a clear identity and task. The identity looks like:

<team-name>/worker-<n> — e.g. alpha/worker-2.
