Orchestrator — Local Setup

Beads Environment​

  • BEADS_DIR: Pre-set via docker.env → /mnt/intercom/.beads
  • BD_ACTOR: Pre-set via docker.env → main-agent
  • intercom CLI: Available at system level

What You Can Use (Brain)​

  • intercom CLI for team coordination (new, read, post, done, claim, threads)
  • gh issue create for filing persistent tracking issues (label with agent-discovered)
  • Your workspace files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, memory/, etc.)

Intercom CLI​

Team coordination channel — see the intercom skill for full workflows.

Tool Notes​

  • bd command is NOT available — it has been replaced by intercom. Any attempt to run bd will fail with "command not found".
  • Apex delegates ALL implementation work — use Write/Edit only for workspace notes
  • If a task involves running a command, script, or code in a repo: delegate via intercom, do not attempt it yourself
