+
+# Bluesky AT Protocol Client
+
+Comprehensive toolkit for interacting with Bluesky social network via the AT Protocol. Includes posting, profile management, search, content moderation, and bulk operations.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/post.py` - Create, delete, and search posts
+- `scripts/profile.py` - Profile management and follower operations
+- `scripts/search.py` - Search posts, users, and feeds
+- `scripts/cleanup.py` - Content moderation and bulk delete
+- `scripts/backup.py` - Export account data (CAR files)
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Authentication
+```bash
+# Interactive login
+python scripts/profile.py login
+
+# Or use environment variables
+export BLUESKY_HANDLE=yourhandle.bsky.social
+export BLUESKY_PASSWORD=your-app-password
+
+# Or use App Password (recommended)
+# 1. Go to Settings → App Passwords in Bluesky
+# 2. Create new app password
+# 3. Use that instead of main password
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Post to Bluesky
+```bash
+# Simple post
+python scripts/post.py create "Hello from the command line!"
+
+# Post with link
+python scripts/post.py create "Check out this article" --link https://example.com
+
+# Post with image
+python scripts/post.py create "Beautiful sunset" --image sunset.jpg --alt "Orange sunset over mountains"
+
+# Reply to a post
+python scripts/post.py create "Great point!" --reply-to at://did:plc:xxx/app.bsky.feed.post/yyy
+```
+
+### Search Posts
+```bash
+# Search by keyword
+python scripts/search.py posts "climate change"
+
+# Search user's posts
+python scripts/search.py posts --author alice.bsky.social
+
+# Recent posts with hashtag
+python scripts/search.py posts "#coding"
+```
+
+### Profile Operations
+```bash
+# View profile
+python scripts/profile.py info alice.bsky.social
+
+# List followers
+python scripts/profile.py followers alice.bsky.social
+
+# List following
+python scripts/profile.py following alice.bsky.social
+
+# Follow/unfollow
+python scripts/profile.py follow alice.bsky.social
+python scripts/profile.py unfollow alice.bsky.social
+```
+
+## Post Management
+
+### Create Posts
+```bash
+# Text only
+python scripts/post.py create "My post content"
+
+# With mentions
+python scripts/post.py create "Hey @alice.bsky.social check this out!"
+
+# With hashtags (auto-linked)
+python scripts/post.py create "Learning #Python is fun #coding"
+
+# Thread (multiple connected posts)
+python scripts/post.py thread "First post" "Second post" "Third post"
+```
+
+### Delete Posts
+```bash
+# Delete by URI
+python scripts/post.py delete at://did:plc:xxx/app.bsky.feed.post/yyy
+
+# Delete recent posts by keyword (careful!)
+python scripts/post.py delete --matching "test" --dry-run
+python scripts/post.py delete --matching "test" --confirm
+```
+
+### View Posts
+```bash
+# Get your timeline
+python scripts/post.py timeline
+
+# Get specific feed
+python scripts/post.py feed "at://did:plc:xxx/app.bsky.feed.generator/yyy"
+
+# Get post thread
+python scripts/post.py thread-view "at://did:plc:xxx/app.bsky.feed.post/yyy"
+```
+
+## Search Capabilities
+
+### Post Search
+```bash
+python scripts/search.py posts "query"           # Basic search
+python scripts/search.py posts "query" -n 50     # More results
+python scripts/search.py posts "query" --since 2024-01-01  # Date filter
+python scripts/search.py posts "query" --lang en # Language filter
+```
+
+### User Search
+```bash
+python scripts/search.py users "alice"           # Search by name
+python scripts/search.py users "python developer" # Search by bio
+```
+
+### Feed Discovery
+```bash
+python scripts/search.py feeds "photography"     # Find custom feeds
+python scripts/search.py feeds --popular         # Popular feeds
+```
+
+## Content Cleanup
+
+### Find Problematic Content
+```bash
+# Find posts with low engagement (potential cleanup candidates)
+python scripts/cleanup.py audit --min-likes 0 --min-replies 0
+
+# Find old posts
+python scripts/cleanup.py audit --before 2023-01-01
+
+# Find posts matching pattern
+python scripts/cleanup.py audit --matching "test"
+```
+
+### Bulk Delete (with safety)
+```bash
+# Always dry-run first!
+python scripts/cleanup.py delete --before 2023-01-01 --dry-run
+
+# Then execute with confirmation
+python scripts/cleanup.py delete --before 2023-01-01 --confirm
+
+# Delete by engagement threshold
+python scripts/cleanup.py delete --max-likes 0 --max-replies 0 --dry-run
+```
+
+### Export Before Delete
+```bash
+# Export posts before cleanup
+python scripts/cleanup.py export -o my_posts.json
+python scripts/cleanup.py delete --before 2023-01-01 --confirm
+```
+
+## Account Backup
+
+### Download CAR File
+```bash
+# Full account backup
+python scripts/backup.py download
+
+# Specific collections
+python scripts/backup.py download --collection app.bsky.feed.post
+python scripts/backup.py download --collection app.bsky.feed.like
+```
+
+### Export Data
+```bash
+# Export posts to JSON
+python scripts/backup.py export posts -o posts.json
+
+# Export likes
+python scripts/backup.py export likes -o likes.json
+
+# Export everything
+python scripts/backup.py export all -o backup/
+```
+
+## AT Protocol Concepts
+
+### URI Format
+```
+at://did:plc:XXXX/app.bsky.feed.post/YYYY
+│     │          │                    │
+│     │          │                    └─ Record key
+│     │          └─ Collection type
+│     └─ DID (Decentralized Identifier)
+└─ AT Protocol scheme
+```
+
+### Collections
+| Collection | Content |
+|------------|---------|
+| `app.bsky.feed.post` | Posts |
+| `app.bsky.feed.like` | Likes |
+| `app.bsky.feed.repost` | Reposts |
+| `app.bsky.graph.follow` | Follows |
+| `app.bsky.graph.block` | Blocks |
+| `app.bsky.graph.list` | Lists |
+
+### Rate Limits
+- **3000 requests per 5 minutes** (global)
+- **Batch operations**: 25 profiles per request
+- Scripts include automatic rate limiting
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Authentication
+export BLUESKY_HANDLE=handle.bsky.social
+export BLUESKY_PASSWORD=app-password
+
+# Optional
+export BLUESKY_PDS=https://bsky.social  # Default PDS
+export BLUESKY_CACHE_DIR=~/.bluesky/cache
+```
+
+### Config File
+```json
+{
+  "handle": "yourhandle.bsky.social",
+  "pds": "https://bsky.social",
+  "cache_enabled": true,
+  "rate_limit_delay": 0.05
+}
+```
+
+## Common Options
+
+```bash
+--handle, -u      Bluesky handle (user.bsky.social)
+--output, -o      Output file
+--json            JSON output format
+--dry-run         Preview without executing
+--confirm         Require confirmation for destructive ops
+--limit, -n       Maximum results
+--verbose, -v     Verbose output
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use App Passwords**: Never use main password; create app-specific passwords
+2. **Dry Run First**: Always use `--dry-run` before bulk operations
+3. **Export Before Delete**: Backup data before any cleanup
+4. **Respect Rate Limits**: Scripts handle this, but be patient with bulk ops
+5. **Cache Smartly**: Enable caching for repeated profile lookups
+
+## Integration
+
+### Python Usage
+```python
+from atproto import Client
+
+client = Client()
+client.login('handle.bsky.social', 'app-password')
+
+# Create post
+client.send_post('Hello from Python!')
+
+# Get profile
+profile = client.get_profile('alice.bsky.social')
+print(f"{profile.display_name}: {profile.description}")
+```
+
+### With Swarm Agent
+```bash
+# Bluesky tools available in swarm
+python agent.py --tools bluesky
+
+> Post about today's weather
+[Invokes bluesky post tool]
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Invalid handle"**: Use format `handle.bsky.social` (not @handle)
+
+**"Authentication failed"**: Check app password, not main password
+
+**"Rate limited"**: Wait 5 minutes, or reduce request frequency
+
+**"Post not found"**: Verify AT URI format is correct
+
+**"CAR download failed"**: PDS may be temporarily unavailable

+python scripts/status.py research_abc123
+
+# Returns:
+# {
+#   "status": "running|completed|failed|cancelled",
+#   "progress": 65,
+#   "agents_completed": 5,
+#   "total_agents": 8,
+#   "execution_time": 45.2,
+#   "estimated_cost": 0.05
+# }
+```
+
+### Cancellation
+```bash
+# Cancel running workflow
+python scripts/status.py research_abc123 --cancel
+```
+
+### Results Retrieval
+```bash
+# Get full results (when completed)
+python scripts/status.py research_abc123 --results
+
+# Save to file
+python scripts/status.py research_abc123 --results --output report.md
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Default provider
+export DREAM_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=xai
+
+# Default model
+export DREAM_DEFAULT_MODEL=grok-3
+
+# Enable document generation
+export DREAM_GENERATE_DOCS=true
+
+# Document formats
+export DREAM_DOC_FORMATS=markdown,pdf
+```
+
+### Common Options
+```bash
+--provider, -p    LLM provider (default: xai)
+--model, -m       Specific model override
+--agents, -n      Number of worker agents
+--output, -o      Save results to file
+--format, -f      Output format (json, markdown, text)
+--verbose, -v     Show detailed progress
+--no-synthesis    Skip synthesis stages (Cascade only)
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Markdown Report (default)
+```markdown
+# Research Report: [Topic]
+
+## Executive Summary
+[Camina synthesis output]
+
+## Key Findings
+[Drummer synthesis sections]
+
+## Detailed Analysis
+[Individual Belter results organized by theme]
+
+## Sources & Citations
+[Collected references]
+
+## Metadata
+- Agents: 8
+- Execution time: 2m 34s
+- Estimated cost: $0.05

+
+### JSON (structured)
+```json
+{
+  "task_id": "research_abc123",
+  "topic": "...",
+  "status": "completed",
+  "executive_summary": "...",
+  "sections": [...],
+  "citations": [...],
+  "metadata": {
+    "agents": 8,
+    "execution_time": 154.2,
+    "total_tokens": 45000,
+    "estimated_cost": 0.05
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Agent Count**: 6-10 agents for most research tasks, 12+ for comprehensive analysis
+2. **Provider Selection**: Use `xai` for speed, `anthropic` for quality, `ollama` for cost-free local
+3. **Synthesis Stages**: Keep both enabled for best results; disable for raw data gathering
+4. **Domain Filtering**: Use `--domains` in Swarm to focus search scope
+5. **Cost Management**: Monitor with `--verbose`, use `--no-synthesis` for cheaper runs
+
+## Integration with MCP
+
+If MCP server is running (port 5060), scripts communicate via the MCP protocol for advanced features:
+- Streaming progress updates
+- Real-time cost tracking
+- Webhook notifications
+- Persistent result storage
+
+Start MCP server:
+```bash
+sm start mcp-orchestrator
+# Or: python /home/coolhand/shared/mcp/start.sh
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Provider not available"**: Check API key in `~/.env` or `~/API_KEYS.md`
+
+**"Timeout during synthesis"**: Increase timeout with `--timeout 600`
+
+**"Rate limited"**: Reduce `--agents` count or switch provider
+
+**"MCP not connected"**: Check `sm status mcp-orchestrator`, start if needed

+
+# Code Quality Skill
+
+Comprehensive toolkit for maintaining code quality through linting, formatting, testing, and accessibility audits.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/lint.py` - Run linters (ruff, mypy, pylint)
+- `scripts/format.py` - Format code (black, isort, ruff format)
+- `scripts/test.py` - Run tests with coverage
+- `scripts/audit.py` - Comprehensive code audit
+- `scripts/a11y.py` - Accessibility checks for web content
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Lint Code
+```bash
+# Lint current directory
+python scripts/lint.py .
+
+# Lint specific file
+python scripts/lint.py myfile.py
+
+# Auto-fix issues
+python scripts/lint.py . --fix
+
+# Show detailed output
+python scripts/lint.py . --verbose
+```
+
+### Format Code
+```bash
+# Format with black
+python scripts/format.py .
+
+# Check formatting without changes
+python scripts/format.py . --check
+
+# Format and sort imports
+python scripts/format.py . --sort-imports
+
+# Format specific file
+python scripts/format.py myfile.py
+```
+
+### Run Tests
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+python scripts/test.py
+
+# Run specific test file
+python scripts/test.py tests/test_api.py
+
+# Run with coverage
+python scripts/test.py --coverage
+
+# Run specific markers
+python scripts/test.py --marker unit
+```
+
+### Accessibility Check
+```bash
+# Check HTML file
+python scripts/a11y.py index.html
+
+# Check URL
+python scripts/a11y.py https://example.com
+
+# Generate report
+python scripts/a11y.py index.html --report a11y_report.md
+```
+
+## Linting (ruff)
+
+### Default Rules
+- Pyflakes (F) - Errors and potential bugs
+- pycodestyle (E, W) - Style violations
+- isort (I) - Import sorting
+- pep8-naming (N) - Naming conventions
+- Bugbear (B) - Common bugs
+- Security (S) - Security issues
+
+### Configuration
+```bash
+# Use specific ruleset
+python scripts/lint.py . --select E,F,B
+
+# Ignore specific rules
+python scripts/lint.py . --ignore E501,W503
+
+# Set line length
+python scripts/lint.py . --line-length 100
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+```bash
+# E501 - Line too long
+# F401 - Unused import
+# F841 - Unused variable
+# E402 - Module import not at top
+# B006 - Mutable default argument
+```
+
+## Formatting (black)
+
+### Options
+```bash
+# Preview changes
+python scripts/format.py . --diff
+
+# Set line length
+python scripts/format.py . --line-length 88
+
+# Target Python version
+python scripts/format.py . --target-version py311
+
+# Skip magic trailing comma
+python scripts/format.py . --skip-magic-trailing-comma
+```
+
+### Import Sorting (isort)
+```bash
+# Sort imports only
+python scripts/format.py . --imports-only
+
+# Check import order
+python scripts/format.py . --check-imports
+```
+
+## Testing (pytest)
+
+### Test Markers
+```python
+# In tests:
+@pytest.mark.unit          # Unit tests
+@pytest.mark.integration   # Integration tests
+@pytest.mark.e2e           # End-to-end tests
+@pytest.mark.api           # API tests
+@pytest.mark.slow          # Slow tests
+```
+
+### Running by Marker
+```bash
+python scripts/test.py --marker unit
+python scripts/test.py --marker "not slow"
+python scripts/test.py --marker "unit or integration"
+```
+
+### Coverage
+```bash
+# Generate coverage report
+python scripts/test.py --coverage
+
+# Generate HTML report
+python scripts/test.py --coverage --html
+
+# Set coverage threshold
+python scripts/test.py --coverage --min-coverage 80
+```
+
+### Coverage Output
+```
+Name                    Stmts   Miss  Cover
+-------------------------------------------
+app/__init__.py            10      0   100%
+app/api.py                 45      5    89%
+app/models.py              30      2    93%
+-------------------------------------------
+TOTAL                      85      7    92%
+```
+
+## Accessibility (a11y)
+
+### WCAG Checks
+- Contrast ratios (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large text)
+- Alt text on images
+- Form labels
+- Heading hierarchy
+- Keyboard navigation
+- ARIA attributes
+
+### Check Levels
+```bash
+# WCAG 2.1 Level A (minimum)
+python scripts/a11y.py index.html --level A
+
+# WCAG 2.1 Level AA (recommended)
+python scripts/a11y.py index.html --level AA
+
+# WCAG 2.1 Level AAA (enhanced)
+python scripts/a11y.py index.html --level AAA
+```
+
+### Report Format
+```markdown
+# Accessibility Report
+
+## Summary
+- **File**: index.html
+- **Level**: WCAG 2.1 AA
+- **Status**: FAIL (3 errors, 5 warnings)
+
+## Errors (Must Fix)
+
+### Missing alt text
+- `<img src="hero.jpg">` at line 45
+  - Add descriptive alt text
+
+### Insufficient contrast
+- Text color #777 on #fff background
+  - Ratio: 4.48:1 (needs 4.5:1)
+  - Element: `.nav-link` at line 23
+
+## Warnings (Should Fix)
+
+### Missing form labels
+- `<input type="email">` at line 78
+  - Add `<label>` or `aria-label`
+
+## Passed Checks (15)
+✓ Heading hierarchy
+✓ Keyboard focus visible
+✓ Lang attribute present
+...
+```
+
+## Comprehensive Audit
+
+### Full Audit
+```bash
+# Run all quality checks
+python scripts/audit.py .
+
+# Generate report
+python scripts/audit.py . --report audit_report.md
+
+# Set thresholds
+python scripts/audit.py . --min-coverage 80 --max-issues 10
+```
+
+### Audit Report
+```markdown
+# Code Quality Audit
+
+## Summary
+- **Directory**: /home/coolhand/projects/myapp
+- **Date**: 2024-01-15 10:30:00
+- **Status**: PASS (with warnings)
+
+## Metrics
+
+| Check | Status | Details |
+|-------|--------|---------|
+| Lint (ruff) | PASS | 0 errors, 5 warnings |
+| Format (black) | PASS | All files formatted |
+| Tests | PASS | 45/45 tests pass |
+| Coverage | WARN | 78% (target: 80%) |
+| Security | PASS | No vulnerabilities |
+
+## Recommendations
+1. Increase test coverage for `api.py` (currently 65%)
+2. Fix 5 lint warnings in `models.py`
+3. Add type hints to public functions
+```
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### pyproject.toml
+```toml
+[tool.ruff]
+line-length = 88
+select = ["E", "F", "B", "I"]
+ignore = ["E501"]
+
+[tool.black]
+line-length = 88
+target-version = ["py311"]
+
+[tool.pytest.ini_options]
+markers = [
+    "unit: Unit tests",
+    "integration: Integration tests",
+]
+addopts = "--cov=. --cov-report=term-missing"
+```
+
+### .ruff.toml (alternative)
+```toml
+line-length = 88
+select = ["E", "F", "B", "I", "N", "S"]
+ignore = ["E501", "S101"]
+```
+
+## Pre-Commit Integration
+
+```yaml
+# .pre-commit-config.yaml
+repos:
+  - repo: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit
+    rev: v0.1.0
+    hooks:
+      - id: ruff
+        args: [--fix]
+      - id: ruff-format
+
+  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
+    hooks:
+      - id: trailing-whitespace
+      - id: end-of-file-fixer
+```
+
+## CI Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions
+```yaml
+name: Code Quality
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  quality:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
+      - run: pip install ruff black pytest pytest-cov
+      - run: ruff check .
+      - run: black --check .
+      - run: pytest --cov --cov-fail-under=80
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Run lint before commit** - Catch issues early
+2. **Auto-format on save** - Consistent style
+3. **Maintain coverage** - Don't let it drop
+4. **Fix warnings** - They often become errors
+5. **Audit periodically** - Weekly or before releases
+
+## Integration
+
+Works with:
+- **server-deploy**: Run quality checks before deployment
+- **dream-cascade**: Lint generated code
+- **datavis**: Check JavaScript/HTML accessibility
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Too many issues"**: Start with `--select E,F` for critical only
+
+**"Format changes tests"**: Use `--extend-exclude tests`
+
+**"Coverage too low"**: Focus on uncovered branches with `--cov-report=html`
+
+**"Import errors in tests"**: Ensure `conftest.py` has proper fixtures

+# Data Pipeline Skill
+
+Toolkit for building data collection and validation pipelines with 17 integrated data sources.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/fetch.py` - Fetch data from any integrated source
+- `scripts/validate.py` - Validate datasets (schema, completeness, quality)
+- `scripts/transform.py` - Transform data formats (JSON, CSV, markdown)
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Integrated Data Sources
+
+| Source | Command | Data Type |
+|--------|---------|-----------|
+| arxiv | `--source arxiv` | Academic papers, preprints |
+| semantic_scholar | `--source semantic_scholar` | Paper metadata, citations |
+| pubmed | `--source pubmed` | Medical/biology research |
+| wikipedia | `--source wikipedia` | Encyclopedia articles |
+| github | `--source github` | Repositories, users, code |
+| news | `--source news` | Current headlines, articles |
+| youtube | `--source youtube` | Video search, metadata |
+| nasa | `--source nasa` | Space, astronomy data |
+| weather | `--source weather` | Forecasts, conditions |
+| census | `--source census` | Demographics, ACS data |
+| finance | `--source finance` | Stock data, markets |
+| openlibrary | `--source openlibrary` | Book catalog |
+| wolfram | `--source wolfram` | Computation, knowledge |
+| archive | `--source archive` | Internet Archive |
+| fec | `--source fec` | Election data |
+| judiciary | `--source judiciary` | Legal decisions |
+| mal | `--source mal` | Anime database |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Fetch Data
+```bash
+# Search arXiv for papers
+python scripts/fetch.py --source arxiv "quantum computing" --max 20
+
+# Get GitHub repositories
+python scripts/fetch.py --source github "pytorch" --max 10 --output repos.json
+
+# Fetch Census data
+python scripts/fetch.py --source census --query "population" --year 2022
+
+# Search news
+python scripts/fetch.py --source news "climate change" --max 50
+```
+
+### Validate Data
+```bash
+# Validate a JSON dataset
+python scripts/validate.py data.json
+
+# Check for specific issues
+python scripts/validate.py data.csv --check completeness,types,ranges
+
+# Generate validation report
+python scripts/validate.py data.json --report validation_report.md
+```
+
+### Transform Data
+```bash
+# JSON to CSV
+python scripts/transform.py data.json --to csv --output data.csv
+
+# CSV to JSON with schema
+python scripts/transform.py data.csv --to json --schema schema.json
+
+# Merge multiple files
+python scripts/transform.py file1.json file2.json --merge --output combined.json
+```
+
+## Validation Checks
+
+### Schema Validation
+- Field presence and types
+- Required vs optional fields
+- Value constraints
+
+### Completeness
+- Missing value detection
+- Null/empty field analysis
+- Percentage complete per field
+
+### Quality Checks
+- Range violations (min/max)
+- Outlier detection (IQR method)
+- Cross-field consistency
+- Duplicate detection
+
+### Format Validation
+- Date format consistency
+- Email/URL format
+- Numeric precision
+
+## Pipeline Pattern
+
+Build reproducible pipelines with multiple stages:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Fetch raw data
+python scripts/fetch.py --source arxiv "machine learning" \
+  --max 100 --output raw_papers.json
+
+# 2. Validate
+python scripts/validate.py raw_papers.json \
+  --report validation.md
+
+# 3. Transform for visualization
+python scripts/transform.py raw_papers.json \
+  --to csv --fields title,authors,year,citations \
+  --output papers_clean.csv
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# API Keys (loaded from ~/.env or ~/API_KEYS.md)
+CENSUS_API_KEY=...
+GITHUB_TOKEN=...
+NEWS_API_KEY=...
+
+# Defaults
+DATA_CACHE_DIR=~/.data_cache
+DATA_CACHE_TTL=3600  # seconds
+```
+
+### Common Options
+```bash
+--source, -s     Data source to use
+--query, -q      Search query
+--max, -m        Maximum results
+--output, -o     Output file path
+--format, -f     Output format (json, csv, markdown)
+--cache          Use cached results if available
+--no-cache       Force fresh fetch
+--verbose, -v    Show detailed progress
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### JSON (default)
+```json
+{
+  "source": "arxiv",
+  "query": "quantum computing",
+  "count": 20,
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "id": "2401.12345",
+      "title": "Paper Title",
+      "authors": ["Author 1", "Author 2"],
+      "abstract": "...",
+      "url": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345",
+      "published": "2024-01-10"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### CSV
+```csv
+id,title,authors,published,url
+2401.12345,"Paper Title","Author 1; Author 2",2024-01-10,https://arxiv.org/...
+```
+
+### Markdown
+```markdown
+# Search Results: quantum computing
+Source: arXiv | Count: 20 | Date: 2024-01-15
+
+## Paper Title
+**Authors**: Author 1, Author 2
+**Published**: 2024-01-10
+[View Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345)
+
+> Abstract excerpt...
+```
+
+## Validation Report Format
+
+```markdown
+# Data Validation Report
+
+## Summary
+- **File**: data.json
+- **Records**: 1,250
+- **Fields**: 12
+- **Completeness**: 94.2%
+- **Status**: PASS (with warnings)
+
+## Field Analysis
+
+| Field | Type | Complete | Issues |
+|-------|------|----------|--------|
+| id | string | 100% | - |
+| name | string | 98% | 25 missing |
+| value | number | 95% | 12 outliers |
+
+## Issues Detected
+
+### High Priority
+- Field `email`: 15 invalid formats
+
+### Medium Priority
+- Field `value`: 12 outliers detected (IQR method)
+
+### Low Priority
+- Field `notes`: 45% empty (consider making optional)
+
+## Recommendations
+1. Add default value for `name` field
+2. Review outliers in `value` field
+3. Consider removing or marking `notes` as optional
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always validate** after fetching external data
+2. **Use caching** for expensive API calls during development
+3. **Document sources** in output metadata
+4. **Handle rate limits** with `--delay` option
+5. **Version your schemas** for reproducibility
+
+## Integration
+
+Works with other skills:
+- **datavis**: Fetch data → validate → visualize
+- **dream-cascade**: Use as data source for research
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Source not available"**: Check API key configuration
+
+**"Rate limited"**: Use `--delay 1` to add delay between requests
+
+**"Invalid JSON"**: Use `--validate` flag during fetch to catch errors early
+
+**"Schema mismatch"**: Update schema file or use `--infer-schema` to regenerate

+# Data Visualization Skill
+
+Toolkit for creating beautiful, mathematically elegant data visualizations with D3.js, Chart.js, and custom SVG.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/create_viz.py` - Generate D3.js visualization templates
+- `scripts/color_palette.py` - Generate accessible color palettes
+- `scripts/validate_data.py` - Validate datasets for visualization
+- `scripts/fetch_census.py` - Fetch Census Bureau data with caching
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Decision Tree: Choosing Your Chart Type
+
+```
+Data → What do you want to show?
+    ├─ Comparison → How many categories?
+    │   ├─ Few (<7) → Bar chart
+    │   └─ Many → Horizontal bar / Grouped bar
+    │
+    ├─ Change over time → Line chart / Area chart
+    │   └─ Multiple series → Streamgraph / Small multiples
+    │
+    ├─ Part-to-whole → How many parts?
+    │   ├─ Few (<6) → Pie / Donut
+    │   └─ Many → Treemap / Sunburst
+    │
+    ├─ Distribution → Histogram / Box plot / Violin
+    │
+    ├─ Relationship → Scatter / Bubble
+    │   └─ Categories → Heatmap
+    │
+    ├─ Hierarchy → Tree / Dendrogram / Pack
+    │
+    └─ Network → Force / Arc / Chord
+```
+
+## D3.js Quick Reference
+
+### Selection & Data Binding (v7)
+```javascript
+const circles = svg.selectAll('circle')
+  .data(data, d => d.id)  // Key function for object constancy
+  .join(
+    enter => enter.append('circle')
+      .attr('r', 0)
+      .call(enter => enter.transition().attr('r', d => rScale(d.value))),
+    update => update
+      .call(update => update.transition().attr('r', d => rScale(d.value))),
+    exit => exit
+      .call(exit => exit.transition().attr('r', 0).remove())
+  );
+```
+
+### Force Simulation
+```javascript
+const simulation = d3.forceSimulation(nodes)
+  .force('charge', d3.forceManyBody().strength(-300))
+  .force('link', d3.forceLink(links).id(d => d.id).distance(100))
+  .force('center', d3.forceCenter(width/2, height/2))
+  .force('collision', d3.forceCollide().radius(d => d.r + 2));
+```
+
+### Scale Selection
+```javascript
+// Choose scale based on data distribution
+const linearScale = d3.scaleLinear().domain([0, max]).range([0, width]);
+const logScale = d3.scaleLog().domain([1, 1000000]).range([0, height]);
+const sqrtScale = d3.scaleSqrt().domain([0, max]).range([0, maxRadius]); // For area encoding
+```
+
+## Color Theory
+
+### Palette Types
+- **Sequential**: Single hue varying in lightness (for ordered data)
+- **Diverging**: Two hues meeting at neutral (for data with meaningful center)
+- **Categorical**: Distinct hues (for unordered categories)
+
+### Colorblind-Safe Palettes
+```javascript
+// Wong palette (colorblind-safe categorical)
+const wongPalette = ['#000000', '#E69F00', '#56B4E9', '#009E73',
+                     '#F0E442', '#0072B2', '#D55E00', '#CC79A7'];
+
+// Viridis (colorblind-safe sequential)
+d3.scaleSequential(d3.interpolateViridis);
+```
+
+### Perceptual Uniformity
+- Equal steps in data should produce equal perceived color change
+- Use `d3.interpolateLab()` for perceptually uniform gradients
+- Test with colorblind simulators
+
+## Mathematical Elegance
+
+### Perceptual Accuracy
+```javascript
+// Area encoding: Use sqrt scale for accurate perception
+const radiusScale = d3.scaleSqrt()
+  .domain([0, d3.max(data, d => d.value)])
+  .range([0, 50]);
+
+// Circle area = π × r² - so radius must scale with sqrt(value)
+```
+
+### Choosing Scales
+| Data Distribution | Scale Choice |
+|-------------------|--------------|
+| Normal, bounded | Linear |
+| Power law, skewed | Log or sqrt |
+| Percentages | Linear 0-100% |
+| Growth rates | Log |
+
+## Accessibility Requirements
+
+### WCAG 2.1 for Data Visualization
+- 4.5:1 contrast ratio for text
+- 3:1 contrast ratio for graphical elements
+- Don't rely on color alone (use patterns, labels)
+- Minimum touch target: 44×44px
+
+```javascript
+// ARIA labels for chart regions
+svg.attr('role', 'img')
+  .attr('aria-label', 'Bar chart showing sales by region');
+
+// Keyboard navigation
+nodes.attr('tabindex', 0)
+  .on('keydown', function(event, d) {
+    if (event.key === 'Enter' || event.key === ' ') {
+      selectNode(d);
+    }
+  });
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Canvas for Large Datasets
+Use Canvas instead of SVG when you have 1000+ elements:
+```javascript
+const canvas = d3.select('#chart').append('canvas')
+  .attr('width', width)
+  .attr('height', height);
+const ctx = canvas.node().getContext('2d');
+
+function draw() {
+  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
+  data.forEach(d => {
+    ctx.beginPath();
+    ctx.arc(xScale(d.x), yScale(d.y), 3, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
+    ctx.fillStyle = colorScale(d.category);
+    ctx.fill();
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+- 3D charts (almost always misleading)
+- Pie charts for many categories (>6)
+- Dual y-axes (confusing correlation)
+- Rainbow color scales (not perceptual)
+- Animation without purpose
+- Tooltips that cover the data
+
+## Example: Using create_viz.py
+
+```bash
+# Generate a bar chart template
+python scripts/create_viz.py --type bar --data sales.csv --output chart.html
+
+# Generate a force-directed network
+python scripts/create_viz.py --type force --data network.json --output network.html
+```
+
+## Example: Using color_palette.py
+
+```bash
+# Generate a categorical palette
+python scripts/color_palette.py --type categorical --count 5
+
+# Generate a colorblind-safe sequential palette
+python scripts/color_palette.py --type sequential --colorblind-safe --steps 9
+```
+

+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Web Search
+```bash
+# Search the web
+python scripts/search.py "latest AI developments"
+
+# Image search
+python scripts/search.py "neural network diagram" --type image
+
+# With specific provider
+python scripts/search.py "query" --provider brave
+```
+
+### Academic Research
+```bash
+# Search arXiv
+python scripts/research.py "transformer attention mechanisms" --source arxiv
+
+# PubMed search
+python scripts/research.py "CRISPR applications" --source pubmed
+
+# Multi-source
+python scripts/research.py "quantum computing" --source all
+```
+
+### Image Generation
+```bash
+# Generate with xAI Aurora
+python scripts/generate.py "A futuristic city at sunset"
+
+# With DALL-E
+python scripts/generate.py "prompt" --provider openai
+
+# Custom size
+python scripts/generate.py "prompt" --size 1024x1024
+```
+
+## Tool Schema Format
+
+Tools use OpenAI function-calling format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "web_search",
+  "description": "Search the web for information",
+  "parameters": {
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+      "query": {
+        "type": "string",
+        "description": "Search query"
+      },
+      "num_results": {
+        "type": "integer",
+        "description": "Number of results to return",
+        "default": 10
+      }
+    },
+    "required": ["query"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Creating Custom Modules
+
+### Module Template
+```bash
+# Generate new module from template
+python scripts/create_module.py my_module
+
+# Creates: hive/swarm_my_module.py
+```
+
+### Module Structure
+```python
+from core.core_module_base import SwarmModuleBase
+
+class MyModule(SwarmModuleBase):
+    name = "my_module"
+    display_name = "My Module"
+    description = "Custom tools for specific domain"
+
+    def initialize(self):
+        self.tool_schemas = [
+            {
+                "name": "my_tool",
+                "description": "Does something useful",
+                "parameters": {
+                    "type": "object",
+                    "properties": {
+                        "input": {"type": "string"}
+                    },
+                    "required": ["input"]
+                }
+            }
+        ]
+
+    def handle_my_tool(self, arguments, config=None):
+        input_val = arguments.get("input")
+        # Implementation
+        return {"result": f"Processed: {input_val}"}
+```
+
+### Handler Requirements
+
+1. **Accept both arguments and config**: Even if config unused
+2. **Return structured data**: Dict with clear result keys
+3. **Handle errors gracefully**: Return error dict instead of raising
+4. **Include type information**: Use schemas with proper types
+
+## Search Providers
+
+### Web Search
+| Provider | Features | API Key Env |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| brave | General web, API-based | BRAVE_API_KEY |
+| tavily | AI-optimized, structured | TAVILY_API_KEY |
+| serpapi | Google results proxy | SERPAPI_API_KEY |
+| google | Direct Google API | GOOGLE_API_KEY |
+
+### Image Search
+| Provider | Features | API Key Env |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| brave | General images | BRAVE_API_KEY |
+| google | Google Images | GOOGLE_API_KEY |
+
+## Research Sources
+
+| Source | Coverage | Features |
+|--------|----------|----------|
+| arXiv | Preprints | Full text, citations |
+| PubMed | Medical/Bio | Abstracts, MeSH terms |
+| Semantic Scholar | All fields | Citations, embeddings |
+| CrossRef | DOI metadata | Citation counts |
+
+## Image Generation
+
+| Provider | Model | Capabilities |
+|----------|-------|--------------|
+| xai | Aurora | High quality, artistic |
+| openai | DALL-E 3 | Photorealistic, text |
+| stability | SDXL | Fast, customizable |
+| huggingface | Various | Open models |
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Tool Results
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "web_search",
+  "status": "success",
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "title": "Result Title",
+      "url": "https://...",
+      "snippet": "Description..."
+    }
+  ],
+  "metadata": {
+    "provider": "brave",
+    "query": "original query",
+    "num_results": 10
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Format
+```json
+{
+  "tool": "web_search",
+  "status": "error",
+  "error": "Rate limit exceeded",
+  "retry_after": 60
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Search providers
+export BRAVE_API_KEY=your-key
+export TAVILY_API_KEY=your-key
+export SERPAPI_API_KEY=your-key
+
+# Image generation
+export XAI_API_KEY=your-key
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key
+
+# Research APIs
+export SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY=your-key
+```
+
+### Module Configuration
+```yaml
+# config/modules.yaml
+search:
+  default_provider: brave
+  max_results: 10
+  timeout: 30
+
+research:
+  sources: [arxiv, semantic_scholar]
+  max_papers: 20
+
+gen:
+  default_provider: xai
+  default_size: 1024x1024
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Provider Fallback**: Configure multiple providers for reliability
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Respect API limits, use delays between calls
+3. **Caching**: Cache results to reduce API costs
+4. **Error Handling**: Always return structured errors, never raise uncaught
+5. **Schemas**: Keep schemas accurate and up-to-date
+6. **Testing**: Test modules standalone with `--test` flag
+
+## Integration
+
+Hive modules integrate with Swarm agents automatically:
+
+```python
+# Modules auto-register when imported
+from hive import swarm_search, swarm_research
+
+# Agent discovers available tools
+agent.discover_tools()
+
+# Tools available for agent use
+agent.query("Search for recent papers on transformers")
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Module not found"**: Check module file exists in hive/ directory
+
+**"Tool schema invalid"**: Validate JSON schema structure
+
+**"API rate limited"**: Reduce request frequency, use caching
+
+**"Provider unavailable"**: Check API key, try fallback provider

+description: DNS and domain management CLI for Porkbun registrar. Use when (1) managing DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc), (2) listing and configuring domains, (3) setting up URL forwarding, (4) bulk importing/exporting DNS configurations, or (5) automating DNS operations.
+license: MIT
+---
+
+# Porkbun DNS Management
+
+CLI toolkit for managing domains and DNS records through the Porkbun API. Supports all DNS record types, URL forwarding, bulk operations, and interactive mode.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/dns.py` - DNS record management (list, create, edit, delete)
+- `scripts/domain.py` - Domain listing and information
+- `scripts/url.py` - URL forwarding configuration
+- `scripts/bulk.py` - Bulk import/export operations
+- `scripts/configure.py` - API credential configuration
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Setup
+
+### API Credentials
+1. Log into Porkbun account
+2. Go to Account → API Access
+3. Generate API key and Secret API key
+4. Configure credentials:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/configure.py
+# Or manually create ~/.config/porkbun-cli/config.json
+```
+
+### Configuration File
+```json
+{
+  "apikey": "pk1_your_api_key",
+  "secretapikey": "sk1_your_secret_key"
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### List Domains
+```bash
+python scripts/domain.py list
+```
+
+### List DNS Records
+```bash
+python scripts/dns.py list example.com
+```
+
+### Create DNS Record
+```bash
+# A record
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com A 192.168.1.1
+
+# CNAME record
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com CNAME target.example.com --name www
+
+# MX record
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com MX mail.example.com --prio 10
+
+# TXT record (SPF)
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
+```
+
+### Delete DNS Record
+```bash
+python scripts/dns.py delete example.com RECORD_ID
+```
+
+## DNS Record Types
+
+| Type | Description | Example Content |
+|------|-------------|-----------------|
+| A | IPv4 address | 192.168.1.1 |
+| AAAA | IPv6 address | 2001:db8::1 |
+| CNAME | Canonical name | target.example.com |
+| ALIAS | ANAME record | target.example.com |
+| MX | Mail exchange | mail.example.com |
+| TXT | Text record | v=spf1 ... |
+| NS | Nameserver | ns1.porkbun.com |
+| SRV | Service record | 10 5 5060 sip.example.com |
+| CAA | CA Authorization | 0 issue "letsencrypt.org" |
+| TLSA | TLS Authentication | 3 1 1 abc123... |
+
+## URL Forwarding
+
+### List Forwards
+```bash
+python scripts/url.py list example.com
+```
+
+### Create Forward
+```bash
+# Simple redirect
+python scripts/url.py set example.com https://newsite.com
+
+# Subdomain redirect
+python scripts/url.py set example.com https://newsite.com --subdomain old
+
+# With wildcard
+python scripts/url.py set example.com https://newsite.com --wildcard
+
+# Permanent (301) redirect
+python scripts/url.py set example.com https://newsite.com --type 301
+```
+
+### Delete Forward
+```bash
+python scripts/url.py delete example.com FORWARD_ID
+```
+
+## Bulk Operations
+
+### Export DNS Records
+```bash
+# Export to JSON
+python scripts/bulk.py export example.com -o records.json
+
+# Export to CSV
+python scripts/bulk.py export example.com -o records.csv --format csv
+```
+
+### Import DNS Records
+```bash
+# Import from JSON
+python scripts/bulk.py import records.json --domain example.com
+
+# Import from CSV
+python scripts/bulk.py import records.csv --domain example.com
+
+# Dry run (preview changes)
+python scripts/bulk.py import records.json --domain example.com --dry-run
+```
+
+### Import File Format (JSON)
+```json
+{
+  "domain": "example.com",
+  "records": [
+    {
+      "type": "A",
+      "name": "",
+      "content": "192.168.1.1",
+      "ttl": 600
+    },
+    {
+      "type": "CNAME",
+      "name": "www",
+      "content": "example.com"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Import File Format (CSV)
+```csv
+type,name,content,prio,ttl
+A,,192.168.1.1,,600
+CNAME,www,example.com,,
+MX,,mail.example.com,10,
+```
+
+## Common Options
+
+```bash
+--name, -n      Subdomain name (empty for root)
+--prio, -p      Priority (for MX, SRV records)
+--ttl, -t       TTL in seconds (default: 600)
+--type          Record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, etc.)
+--output, -o    Output file for exports
+--format, -f    Output format (json, csv)
+--dry-run       Preview changes without applying
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Set Up Email (Google Workspace)
+```bash
+# MX records
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com MX aspmx.l.google.com --prio 1
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com MX alt1.aspmx.l.google.com --prio 5
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com MX alt2.aspmx.l.google.com --prio 5
+
+# SPF record
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
+
+# DKIM (get value from Google Admin)
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=..." --name google._domainkey
+```
+
+### Set Up Subdomain
+```bash
+# Point subdomain to server
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com A 192.168.1.1 --name app
+
+# Or use CNAME to another domain
+python scripts/dns.py create example.com CNAME app.railway.app --name app
+```
+
+### Migrate DNS
+```bash
+# Export from current domain
+python scripts/bulk.py export oldsite.com -o dns_backup.json
+
+# Review and edit the JSON if needed
+# Import to new domain
+python scripts/bulk.py import dns_backup.json --domain newsite.com --dry-run
+python scripts/bulk.py import dns_backup.json --domain newsite.com
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Alternative to config file
+export PORKBUN_API_KEY=pk1_your_key
+export PORKBUN_SECRET_KEY=sk1_your_secret
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"API key required"**: Run `python scripts/configure.py` to set credentials
+
+**"Domain not found"**: Ensure domain is registered with Porkbun and API access is enabled
+
+**"Invalid record type"**: Check supported types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA, TLSA, ALIAS, HTTPS, SVCB, SSHFP)
+
+**"Rate limited"**: Porkbun has rate limits; add delays between bulk operations
+
+## API Reference
+
+Porkbun API documentation: https://porkbun.com/api/json/v3/documentation
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Store API keys securely (config file is chmod 600)
+- Never commit credentials to version control
+- Use environment variables in CI/CD pipelines
+- Rotate keys periodically

+name: server-deploy
+description: Server deployment and infrastructure management toolkit for managing services, Caddy reverse proxy, and system health. Use when (1) starting/stopping services, (2) configuring Caddy routes, (3) checking system health, (4) managing ports, or (5) deploying new services.
+license: MIT
+---
+
+# Server Deploy Skill
+
+Toolkit for managing server infrastructure, services, and deployment.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available

+- `scripts/service.py` - Manage services (start, stop, status, logs)
+- `scripts/caddy.py` - Caddy reverse proxy configuration
+- `scripts/health.py` - System and service health checks
+- `scripts/ports.py` - Port allocation and availability
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Service Management
+
+### Quick Commands
+```bash
+# Check all services
+python scripts/service.py status
+
+# Start a service
+python scripts/service.py start mcp-orchestrator
+
+# Stop a service
+python scripts/service.py stop mcp-orchestrator
+
+# Restart a service
+python scripts/service.py restart mcp-orchestrator
+
+# View logs
+python scripts/service.py logs mcp-orchestrator --lines 100
+```
+
+### Available Services
+
+| Service | Port | Description |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| mcp-orchestrator | 5060 | MCP server for AI orchestration |
+| dreamwalker | 5080 | Orchestrator web UI |
+| storyblocks | 8000 | Multi-provider LLM proxy |
+| studio | 5413 | AI interaction interface |
+| clinical | 1266 | Clinical reference tool |
+| lessonplanner | 4108 | EFL lesson generator |
+| wordblocks | 8847 | AAC communication app |
+| luke | 5211 | Portfolio (Vite + Express) |
+| coca | 3034 | Corpus linguistics API |
+| dashboard | 9999 | System monitoring |
+
+### Service Operations
+```bash
+# Start all services
+python scripts/service.py start --all
+
+# Stop all services
+python scripts/service.py stop --all
+
+# Show service details
+python scripts/service.py info mcp-orchestrator
+
+# Enable monitoring (auto-restart failed services)
+python scripts/service.py monitor --start
+
+# Check monitor status
+python scripts/service.py monitor --status
+```
+
+## Caddy Configuration
+
+### Route Management
+```bash
+# List current routes
+python scripts/caddy.py routes
+
+# Add new route
+python scripts/caddy.py add /api/myservice/* localhost:5015
+
+# Remove route
+python scripts/caddy.py remove /api/myservice/*
+
+# Validate configuration
+python scripts/caddy.py validate
+
+# Reload Caddy
+python scripts/caddy.py reload
+```
+
+### Route Patterns
+
+**handle_path** (strips prefix):
+```
+/api/myservice/* → localhost:5015
+# Flask receives: /endpoint (prefix stripped)
+```
+
+**handle** (keeps prefix):
+```
+/myservice/* → localhost:5015
+# Flask receives: /myservice/endpoint (prefix kept)
+```
+
+### Configuration Example
+```bash
+# Add API route that strips prefix
+python scripts/caddy.py add /api/search/* localhost:5015 --strip-prefix
+
+# Add static file route
+python scripts/caddy.py add /static/* /var/www/static --file-server
+
+# Add with custom headers
+python scripts/caddy.py add /api/* localhost:5000 \
+  --header "X-Custom: value"
+```
+
+## Port Management
+
+### Check Availability
+```bash
+# Find available port in range
+python scripts/ports.py find --range 5010-5019
+
+# Check specific port
+python scripts/ports.py check 5015
+
+# List all used ports
+python scripts/ports.py list --used
+
+# Show port allocation map
+python scripts/ports.py map
+```
+
+### Reserved Ranges
+
+| Range | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| 5010-5019 | Available for testing |
+| 5050-5059 | Available for testing |
+| 1000-4999 | Production services |
+| 8000-9999 | Web services |
+
+## Health Checks
+
+### System Health
+```bash
+# Full system check
+python scripts/health.py system
+
+# Check specific components
+python scripts/health.py --cpu --memory --disk
+
+# Check service health
+python scripts/health.py services
+
+# Check Caddy routes
+python scripts/health.py caddy
+```
+
+### Health Report
+```bash
+# Generate comprehensive report
+python scripts/health.py report --output health_report.md
+
+# Output includes:
+# - System resources (CPU, memory, disk)
+# - Service status (all registered services)
+# - Caddy route validation
+# - Port conflicts
+# - Recent errors from logs
+```
+
+## Deployment Workflow
+
+### Deploy New Service
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find available port
+python scripts/ports.py find --range 5010-5019
+# Output: Port 5015 is available
+
+# 2. Start service
+python scripts/service.py start myservice --port 5015
+
+# 3. Add Caddy route
+python scripts/caddy.py add /api/myservice/* localhost:5015 --strip-prefix
+
+# 4. Validate and reload
+python scripts/caddy.py validate && python scripts/caddy.py reload
+
+# 5. Verify health
+python scripts/health.py service myservice
+```
+
+### Deployment Checklist
+```bash
+# Run full deployment check
+python scripts/health.py deploy-check myservice
+
+# Checks:
+# ✓ Port is available
+# ✓ Service can start
+# ✓ Health endpoint responds
+# ✓ Caddy route is valid
+# ✓ No port conflicts
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Caddy config location
+CADDY_CONFIG=/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+# Service manager config
+SERVICE_MANAGER_DIR=~/.service_manager
+
+# Sudo password (for Caddy operations)
+SUDO_PASSWORD=...
+```
+
+### Service Registration
+
+Register new service in service manager:
+```python
+# In service_manager.py or via CLI
+{
+    "name": "myservice",
+    "path": "/home/coolhand/projects/myservice",
+    "command": "python app.py",
+    "port": 5015,
+    "health_endpoint": "/health"
+}
+```
+
+## Safety Features
+
+### Caddy Operations
+- **Validation required** before reload
+- **Backup created** before changes
+- **Rollback available** on failure
+
+### Service Operations
+- **Health check** before marking ready
+- **Graceful shutdown** with timeout
+- **Auto-restart** on crash (with monitor)
+
+### Port Operations
+- **Conflict detection** before allocation
+- **Reserved range** checking
+- **Service mapping** maintained
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Service won't start"**:
+```bash
+python scripts/service.py logs myservice --lines 50
+python scripts/health.py service myservice --verbose
+```
+
+**"502 Bad Gateway"**:
+```bash
+python scripts/health.py service myservice  # Check service running
+python scripts/caddy.py validate            # Check route config
+python scripts/ports.py check 5015          # Check port in use
+```
+
+**"Port already in use"**:
+```bash
+python scripts/ports.py list --used
+python scripts/ports.py process 5015        # Show process using port
+```
+
+**"Caddy reload failed"**:
+```bash
+python scripts/caddy.py validate --verbose
+python scripts/caddy.py backup              # Restore from backup
+```
+
+## Integration
+
+Works with:
+- **dream-cascade**: Start MCP server for orchestration
+- **code-quality**: Run tests before deployment
+- **datavis**: Deploy visualization services
+
+## Security Notes
+
+1. **Caddy changes require sudo** (password: configured in env)
+2. **Use @geepers_caddy agent** for production Caddy changes
+3. **Always validate** before reloading Caddy
+4. **Check health** after any deployment change

+# Swarm Multi-Agent System
+
+Modular AI agent framework for building conversational agents with dynamic tool discovery, multi-provider support, and streaming responses.
+
+## Helper Scripts Available
+
+- `scripts/agent.py` - Run an interactive agent session with tool access
+- `scripts/task.py` - Execute predefined tasks with streaming output
+- `scripts/list_tools.py` - List all available tools and modules
+- `scripts/providers.py` - List available LLM providers and test connectivity
+
+**Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage.
+
+## Architecture

+└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Interactive Agent
+```bash
+# Start interactive agent session
+python scripts/agent.py
+
+# With specific provider
+python scripts/agent.py --provider anthropic
+
+# With tool filtering
+python scripts/agent.py --tools search,research
+```
+
+### Task Execution
+```bash
+# Run a predefined task
+python scripts/task.py research_deep "Analyze quantum computing trends"
+
+# List available tasks
+python scripts/task.py --list
+
+# With output file
+python scripts/task.py business_planner "Tech startup" --output plan.md
+```
+
+### Tool Discovery
+```bash
+# List all available tools
+python scripts/list_tools.py
+
+# Filter by module
+python scripts/list_tools.py --module search
+
+# Show tool schemas
+python scripts/list_tools.py --schemas
+```
+
+## LLM Providers
+
+| Provider | Models | Capabilities |
+|----------|--------|--------------|
+| xai (default) | Grok-3 | Chat, Vision, Image Gen |
+| anthropic | Claude 3.5 | Chat, Vision, Tool Use |
+| openai | GPT-4 | Chat, Vision, Function Calling |
+| mistral | Mistral Large | Chat, Tool Use |
+| gemini | Gemini 2.0 | Chat, Vision, Multimodal |
+| perplexity | Sonar Pro | Chat, Search Integration |
+| cohere | Command R+ | Chat, RAG |
+| groq | Llama 3 | Fast Chat |
+
+## Agent Features
+
+### Conversation Memory
+```bash
+# Agent maintains context across interactions
+python scripts/agent.py
+
+> What's the weather in Tokyo?
+[Uses weather tool]
+
+> And how about New York?
+[Remembers previous context]
+```
+
+### Tool Chaining
+```bash
+# Agent can chain multiple tools
+python scripts/task.py "Research AI safety, then generate an infographic"
+
+# Tools executed:
+# 1. research_papers → Find relevant papers
+# 2. synthesize → Summarize findings
+# 3. generate_image → Create infographic
+```
+
+### Streaming Responses
+```bash
+# Real-time streaming output
+python scripts/agent.py --stream
+
+# Shows incremental token output and tool execution status
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Primary provider key
+export XAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
+
+# Additional providers (optional)
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here
+
+# Default settings
+export SWARM_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=xai
+export SWARM_DEFAULT_MODEL=grok-3
+export SWARM_MAX_CYCLES=10
+```
+
+### Common Options
+```bash
+--provider, -p    LLM provider (default: xai)
+--model, -m       Specific model override
+--tools, -t       Comma-separated list of tool modules to enable
+--stream          Enable streaming output
+--verbose, -v     Show detailed execution info
+--max-cycles, -c  Maximum tool execution cycles (default: 10)
+```
+
+## Task Configuration
+
+Tasks can be predefined in YAML:
+
+```yaml
+# swarm_tasks.yaml
+tasks:
+  research_deep:
+    description: "Deep research with academic sources"
+    tools: [search, research, synthesize]
+    max_cycles: 15
+    system_prompt: "You are a thorough researcher..."
+
+  business_planner:
+    description: "Business plan generation"
+    tools: [search, finance, generate]
+    artifacts: [plan.md, projections.xlsx]
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Interactive (default)
+Real-time conversation with tool execution feedback.
+
+### Streaming JSON
+```json
+{"status": "thinking", "content": "Processing query..."}
+{"status": "tool_call", "tool": "web_search", "args": {"query": "..."}}
+{"status": "tool_result", "result": {...}}
+{"status": "complete", "response": "Based on my research..."}
+```
+
+### Artifact Generation
+```bash
+python scripts/task.py report "Topic" --artifact-dir ./results
+
+# Creates:
+# ./results/report.md
+# ./results/sources.json
+# ./results/metadata.json
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Provider Selection**: Use `xai` for general tasks, `anthropic` for complex reasoning
+2. **Tool Scoping**: Limit tools with `--tools` for focused tasks
+3. **Cycle Limits**: Set appropriate `--max-cycles` to prevent runaway execution
+4. **Streaming**: Enable `--stream` for long-running tasks to see progress
+5. **Memory Management**: Use `--new-session` to start fresh when switching topics
+
+## Integration with Hive
+
+The Swarm agent loads tool modules from the Hive system. See the `hive` skill for:
+- Creating custom tool modules
+- Tool schema definitions
+- Handler implementations
+- Module registration
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"No tools available"**: Check that hive modules are accessible and properly registered
+
+**"Provider not available"**: Verify API key in environment
+
+**"Max cycles exceeded"**: Increase `--max-cycles` or simplify the task
+
+**"Tool execution failed"**: Check `--verbose` output for specific errors
