What it does
Use when the user wants to see, inspect, cancel, or prune background agents fired during prior chain runs. Read/manage `.hyperflow/background/registry.json` and the per-agent output buffers at `.hyperflow/background/<id>.md`. Standalone, never auto-invoked. Trigger with /hyperflow:background, "list background agents", "what's running in background", "cancel background agent", "show background result".
Background
Read-only-by-default management interface for background agents fired by other hyperflow skills (dispatch quality gates, deploy CI watcher, scaffold analysis refresh, cache compact, scope speculative prefetch). Reads from .hyperflow/background/registry.json + per-agent output buffers.
Full doctrine: background-agents.md.
