agent-hierarchy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill establishes a structured, efficient workflow for complex software development tasks by orchestrating a hierarchy of AI agents (PO, Manager, Developer). It ensures that all tasks, from strategic planning to implementation, follow a clear, optimized path, maximizing parallel execution and minimizing manual intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hierarchical Task Flow: Enforces a strict PO → Manager → Developer sequence for all but the smallest code changes, ensuring strategic alignment and efficient execution.
• Optimized Parallel Execution: Guides the system to launch multiple Developer Agents concurrently, drastically reducing overall project completion time.
• Contextual Handover: Manages the seamless transfer of context and instructions between agents, from high-level strategy to detailed implementation plans.
• Use Case: When a new feature requires significant development, this Skill ensures the PO defines the strategy, the Manager breaks it into parallel tasks, and multiple Developers work simultaneously on frontend, backend, and testing, all within designated Git worktrees.

Quick Start

Initiate the Agent Hierarchy for a new feature implementation, starting with the PO Agent to define the strategy.
