It defines “sailing orders,” forms a squadron of roles (admiral/captains/red-cell), runs tasks via checkpoints (“quarterdeck rhythm”), enforces risk-tier controls (“action stations”), and produces auditable decision logs (“captain’s log”) plus recovery procedures (“damage control”).","use_cases":["Coordinating multi-file, multi-module Claude Code work in parallel with explicit ownership and checkpoints","Risk-tiered quality gates for changes with varying blast radius","Producing auditable decision logs and mission artifacts for later review","Implementing recovery/damage-control workflows for stuck agents, context exhaustion, faulty output, and partial rollback","Template-driven mission execution (sailing orders, battle plans, turnover briefs, decision logs)"],"not_for":["One-off, quick edits in a single file where orchestration overhead is unnecessary","Use as a standalone API/service outside the Claude Code/Claude Code skill/plugin environment"],"best_when":"You need repeatable, audit-friendly coordination across multiple agents/workstreams for non-trivial codebase changes, especially when you want risk tiers and recovery procedures.","avoid_when":"You only need sequential work for a small, low-risk change and would prefer minimal ceremony.","alternatives":["Claude Code sub-agents / agent teams (native primitives) without Nelson’s risk-gated framework","OmO (oh-my-openagent)-style rapid flows","RuFlo-style orchestration frameworks"],"af_score":51.0,"security_score":32.0,"reliability_score":37.5,"package_type":"skill","discovery_source":["openclaw"],"priority":"high","status":"evaluated","version_evaluated":null,"last_evaluated":"2026-03-30T13:37:14.539450+00:00","interface":{"has_rest_api":false,"has_graphql":false,"has_grpc":false,"has_mcp_server":false,"mcp_server_url":null,"has_sdk":false,"sdk_languages":[],"openapi_spec_url":null,"webhooks":false},"auth":{"methods":["Relies on Claude Code CLI authentication (per Claude Code prerequisites)"],"oauth":false,"scopes":false,"notes":"Authentication appears to be handled by the Claude Code CLI environment rather than by Nelson itself (no separate API auth described)."},"pricing":{"model":null,"free_tier_exists":false,"free_tier_limits":null,"paid_tiers":[],"requires_credit_card":false,"estimated_workload_costs":null,"notes":"No pricing details for Nelson are provided in the supplied content.
