“Maamawi-gikendaaso-bimaadiziwin” (living knowledge together) is a high-performance multi-agent orchestrator for core Indigenous relational inquiry. It applies parallel orchestration patterns—outperforming single-agent research by 90.2%—to the "research as ceremony" paradigm.

This skill is for producing dense, source-backed narrative documents anchored in relational accountability. It orchestrates a Firekeeper and 3–6 parallel Story-Agents using the Task tool.

CAPITAL FILES FOR ORCHESTRATION:

• Templates: references/agent-templates.md (MUST use for all Story-Agents)
• Patterns: references/orchestration-patterns.md (Circle logic)
• Protocols: references/relational-protocols.md (The Four R's)

Mandatory Orchestration Process

Phase 0: Grounding & Date Context

• Date Context: Note today’s date. You MUST inject this into every sub-agent prompt.
• Relational Rephrasing: Rephrase the query as: “What relationships are at stake here?”

Phase 1: Relational Mapping & Context Gathering

• Read Wilson: Ground the inquiry in RCH-Wilson-ElementsOfResearchParadigm-001...SOURCE.md.
• Scan Workspace: Review articles/ and sources/ for existing Indigenous-relational research.
• Determines foregrounded relations (People, Land, Cosmos, Ideas, Markets).

Phase 2: Parallel Spawning (The Engine)

Spawn minimum 3, ideally 4–6 Story-Agents in parallel using the Task tool.

• Mandatory Prompt Elements: Every sub-agent prompt MUST include:
  1. WHO: IAIP user context.
  2. WHY: Purpose of the inquiry.
  3. WHAT ANGLE: Specific ring and boundaries.
  4. HOW: Tools to use (Web, Vault, etc.).
  5. SEARCH STRATEGY: Broad-first queries.
  6. SOURCE QUALITY: Prioritize primary/Indigenous voices.

Phase 3: Batch Synthesis & Gap Analysis

• Batching: Collect ALL agent findings before weaving.
• Wave 2: Spawn 1–2 targeted agents if significant gaps exist in the relational map.

Phase 4: Weaving & Quality Gate

Quality Gate:

• Document exceeds 2,000 words.
• Organization based on Relationships, not just data points.
• Includes explicit Relational Accountability Reflection.
