Nelson

A Claude Code skill for coordinating agent work based on the Royal Navy. It provides structured sailing orders, battle plans, action stations, and a captain's log to manage complex tasks — from single-session work through to parallel subagent squadrons.

Nelson gives Claude a six-step operational framework for tackling complex missions:

1. Sailing Orders — Define the outcome, success metric, constraints, and stop criteria
2. Form the Squadron — Choose an execution mode (single-session, subagents, or agent team) and size the team
3. Battle Plan — Split the mission into independent tasks with owners, dependencies, and file ownership
4. Quarterdeck Rhythm — Run checkpoints to track progress, identify blockers, monitor hull integrity, and manage budget
5. Action Stations — Classify tasks by risk tier and enforce verification before marking complete
6. Stand Down — Produce a captain's log with decisions, artifacts, validation evidence, and follow-ups

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
• Recommended: Enable agent teams for the full squadron experience. Nelson works without it (using single-session or subagent modes), but agent teams unlock teammate-to-teammate coordination — the execution mode. Enable it in your :
