study-swarm is the study-swarm methodology (Markdown) plus a thin, zero-dependency command-line tool, published as the npm package @dogfood-lab/study-swarm. The CLI ships in the package (bin/study-swarm.mjs), so installing it exposes a study-swarm executable. It has no runtime dependencies and makes no network or model calls — the model-based verification the methodology describes (Step 4) is run by separate tools, not by this package.

• What it runs: a small Node CLI (Node >= 18). protocol, version, and help only print text. lint <file> reads the file you name. new <slug> writes exactly one file — <slug>.dispatch.md — in the current working directory, and refuses to overwrite an existing file. The slug is sanitized to a single filename (path separators are replaced with -, pure-dots slugs rejected), so new cannot write outside the current directory.
• What it does NOT do: no network access, no model calls, no telemetry, no filesystem access beyond the two cases above, no use of credentials or environment beyond what Node needs to run.
• Secrets/credentials: none in source or output.
• Permissions required: filesystem read for lint; one-file write (in the working directory) for new. Nothing else.

The methodology describes a workflow that uses web retrieval and model-based verification; those are performed by the sibling tools (prism-verify, role-os), not by this package.
