+> **fire up the crew** — build me a 2-player asteroids game with power-ups
+
+Any phrasing works ("build it with the crew", "build this with trantor"), or invoke the
+skill directly: **`/trantor:crew`**. Claude becomes the architect: it cuts the work into
+difficulty-tagged packages, asks the Advisor, and shows you the routing table with a
+real-money estimate **before spending anything**. You say go — terminal windows open, the
+board fills, and you watch it live:
+
+```bash
+trantor ui
+```
+
+No crew CLIs installed yet? It still works — the Advisor routes the work `solo` or to cheap
+inline `scrooge` calls instead of seats. Seats follow the work *and* what's actually installed.
+
+Running low on context mid-build? Say **`/trantor:handoff`** — a fresh session in the same
+project takes over with a full window (and a PreCompact hook does this automatically).
