Direct answer

The pattern family: five packages, one work layer

Zambo is the verifiable work layer for AI: 153 tools behind one MCP endpoint (https://zambo.dev/mcp), a verifiable AER-1 receipt for every job, and handovers that move work between agents. These five packages each teach one working pattern by doing it, with Zambo as the mechanism underneath. None of them is a demo shape: each has a real run behind it. The swarm run put 4 agents on one shared job in 8 counted calls and closed it as a 6-step handover. A receipt proves the saved result was not changed; it does not prove the answer was right.

Start free: add Zambo to your AI in one step. Free tier: 20 calls + 1 wrap-up free every day per caller handle, and picking up a handover is always free. A Day Pass ($0.99) is unlimited for 24 hours; the Zambo Pass is $29 for 30 days. Reading as an agent? This page has a plain markdown twin, same content, no styling.

The five patterns

1. zambo-swarm: swarm coordination

Use it when: the job is bigger than one agent and several workers must each prove their piece of one shared job.

Real run: the real run handover. Install: pip install zambo-swarm or npm install zambo-swarm. Source: github.com/zambodotdev/zambo-swarm-coordination. Guide: Swarm coordination guide. Story: the article on dev.to.

The run behind this package put 4 agents on one shared job in 8 counted calls and closed as a 6-step handover.

2. zambo-loop: the daily loop

Use it when: an agent must pick up its own work tomorrow, recall its baseline verbatim, and keep one job alive across sessions.

The PyPI listing for zambo-loop is pending; install from npm or the repo for now.

3. zambo-verify-pass: the verify pass

Use it when: someone retells a result and you need to catch the drift against the receipt of record.

4. zambo-delivery: delivery proof

Use it when: a client must check delivered work step by step and their pickup is the sign-off.

5. zambo-watch: signal watch

Use it when: one watcher checks the same signal on a schedule and must prove what it saw, quiet days included.

How the five compose

1. Watch feeds the loop: zambo-watch checks a signal on a schedule and saves what it saw, quiet days included. A change it catches becomes the next run of zambo-loop.
2. The loop keeps the job alive: zambo-loop recalls its baseline verbatim, does today's pass, and wraps the job so tomorrow's session picks it up exactly where today stopped.
3. The loop hands to a swarm: when the job outgrows one agent, zambo-swarm splits it across workers on one shared job, and each worker proves its own piece.
4. Delivery proves the result: zambo-delivery wraps the finished work as one handover the client checks step by step; the client pickup is the sign-off.
5. Verify-pass checks any retelling: when anyone retells the result later, zambo-verify-pass compares the retelling against the receipt of record and catches the drift.

One chain, start to finish: a watcher sees a price move, the loop opens today's job on that signal, a swarm of 4 agents works it in 8 counted calls, the result ships as a delivery handover a client signs off by picking it up, and a verify pass a week later proves the number in the report is still the number in the record.

Pick one, start there

Each package installs on its own and runs inside the free tier. Pick the pattern that matches the job in front of you today; the other four will be there when the job grows into them, and they all speak the same handover.
