# Workers

> Manage scoped agent identities that the CTO can use for delegated work.

Workers are agent identities with a role. The CTO can use them for focused tasks such as implementation, testing, review, or documentation.

## What a worker has

| Field              | Meaning                                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Name               | Human-readable identity, such as `test-writer`.  |
| Role               | What kind of work the worker should do.          |
| Provider and model | How the worker runs.                             |
| Budget             | Monthly spend or usage boundary for that worker. |
| Activity           | Recent tasks, sessions, and outcomes.            |

## When workers help

* A task should be split into several lane-scoped parts.
* You want a repeatable role, such as tester or reviewer.
* You need project-level coordination but focused execution.
* You want budget and activity visibility by responsibility.

## Basic flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask the CTO for a plan">
    Describe the goal and ask how it should be split.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the shape">
    Confirm lanes, worker roles, and validation expectations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Let workers execute">
    Watch active lanes and sessions from Work, Lanes, and History.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the output">
    Inspect diffs, tests, proof, and PRs before merging.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Workers are still coding agents. Review their output like any other contribution.
