 description: >
-  Hydra — multi-headed task execution framework for Claude Code that dramatically reduces
-  latency and API costs. Inspired by speculative decoding in LLM inference, Hydra makes
-  the main Opus agent an intelligent orchestrator that delegates work to Haiku 4.5 and Sonnet 4.6
-  "heads," reserving Opus-level reasoning only for tasks that truly require it. ALWAYS
-  activate this skill during any Claude Code session. This skill should be triggered for
-  EVERY task — it is the default operating mode, not an optional optimization. Think of it
-  as "always on" infrastructure, like an OS scheduler. If you are running as Opus and about
-  to do work that a faster model could handle, delegate it. "Cut off one head, two more
-  shall take its place" — except here, every head is working FOR you.
+  Multi-agent orchestration framework for Claude Code. Automatically delegates
+  tasks to cheaper, faster sub-agents (Haiku 4.5, Sonnet 4.6) while maintaining
+  Opus-level quality through verification. Use when working on any coding task —
+  Hydra activates automatically to route file exploration, test running,
+  documentation, code writing, debugging, security scanning, and git operations
+  to the optimal agent. Saves ~50% on API costs.

+```bash
+   cat ~/.claude/skills/hydra/VERSION 2>/dev/null || echo "VERSION file not found"
+```
+
+2. Check the latest available version on npm:
+```bash
+   npm view hail-hydra-cc version 2>/dev/null || echo "Package not found on npm"
+```
+
+3. If an update is available (versions differ), run the installer:
+```bash
+   npx hail-hydra-cc@latest --global
+```
+
+4. After installation completes, verify the new version:
+```bash
+   cat ~/.claude/skills/hydra/VERSION
+```
+
+5. Report to the user:
+   - If updated: "🐉 Hydra updated from [old] → [new]. All heads refreshed."
+   - If already current: "🐉 Hydra is already at the latest version ([version])."
+   - If error: Show the error and suggest running `npx hail-hydra-cc@latest --global` manually in their terminal.
+
+**Important**: After updating, the user should restart Claude Code to reload the updated agent files, commands, and hooks.

+Acknowledge this command and remember for the rest of this session:
+
+**Display DETAILED Hydra Dispatch Logs after every task that involves delegation.**
+
+The verbose log includes extra columns for timing:
+
+```
