Does this skill require a Git repository?

Yes, this skill relies on git for branch management, commit history, and tagging to track the 'evolution' of different solution attempts.

Can I apply this to an existing autonomy goal?

Yes, the skill is idempotent. If a goal already exists, it will update the documentation in CLAUDE.md without overwriting your existing progress.

What is the slime mold strategy for AI coding?

It is a methodology where the AI creates multiple parallel git branches to explore different approaches to a goal, sharing successful patterns between branches like an organism.

How do branches cooperate in this strategy?

Branches are not competitive; they use commands like analyze-branch to extract 'genetic material' (learnings and patterns) from one tendril to help another succeed.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements a parallel branch exploration workflow inspired by slime mold behavior and genetic algorithms to solve complex problems.

The Slime Mold Strategy skill enables a specialized autonomy workflow that explores problem spaces through parallel branches acting as cooperative experiments. Inspired by biological slime molds and genetic algorithms, this skill automates the creation of a 'multi-tendril' approach where different strategies are tested simultaneously. It manages the entire setup process, including goal definition, CLAUDE.md documentation updates, branch forking, and the initialization of version-controlled iteration tracking, ensuring that insights can be cross-pollinated across branches to find optimal solutions.
