## Quick Start

### Activate the Orchestrator
```
@claude-code-mastery:claude-mastery-chief
```
Or use the LMAS activation:
```
/LMAS:agents:claude-mastery-chief
```

### Direct Specialist Access
```
/LMAS:agents:hooks-architect        # Hook automation
/LMAS:agents:mcp-integrator         # MCP servers
/LMAS:agents:swarm-orchestrator     # Multi-agent orchestration
/LMAS:agents:config-engineer        # Settings & permissions
/LMAS:agents:skill-craftsman        # Skills & plugins
/LMAS:agents:project-integrator     # Project integration
/LMAS:agents:roadmap-sentinel       # Updates & roadmap
```

## Elite Minds Research Attribution

This squad was created through iterative research with devil's advocate validation (3 iterations). Each agent is based on real people/projects with documented frameworks:

## LMAS-Core Integration

This squad understands both Claude Code native capabilities AND the LMAS-core framework:

| LMAS Concept | Claude Code Equivalent | Bridge Agent |
|-------------|----------------------|-------------|
| Agents (@dev, @qa...) | Subagents (.claude/agents/) | Nexus |
| Tasks (.lmas-core/tasks/) | Skills (.claude/skills/) | Anvil |
| Workflows | Multi-step sessions | Nexus + Morpheus |
| core-config.yaml | .claude/settings.json | Sigil |
| Python hooks (monitor/) | Native hooks (command/http/prompt/agent) | Latch |
| Quality gates | Hook-based validation | Latch + Sigil |
| Entity registry | Tool Search + MCP registry | Piper |
