Multi-agent workflows are coordinated by assigning explicit roles like Orchestrator, Builder, and Reviewer, enforcing structured task lifecycle transitions from Inbox to Done, and validating shared artifact paths at each handoff. This ensures work moves reliably without loss.

A structured task lifecycle for multi-agent handoffs defines state transitions—Inbox, Assigned, In Progress, Review, Done, or Failed—alongside comment conventions and decision logging to enforce quality gates and manage escalations for blockers.

Spawn a builder and a reviewer, assign them a task ID, define an exact shared output path, and provide explicit handoff instructions to run spec to build to review pipelines, closing the task only when verification is complete.

Multi-agent orchestration works for scheduled ops like standups and health checks, as well as batch processing with aggregation, by matching model capabilities to responsibilities and applying structured task lifecycle states to manage work.

Explicit roles and defined task lifecycle states are needed when applying orchestration to teams of two or more agents to prevent work from getting lost, duplicated, or degraded over time during spec to build to review pipelines.

A good handoff in multi-agent orchestration contains explicit role assignments, defined task lifecycle states, shared artifact paths, and handoff instructions that are validated at each transition to ensure clear ownership and quality gates.
