SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill manages intricate multi-agent workflows, coordinating phases, handoffs, progress tracking, and quality checks to ensure long-running features progress smoothly from start to finish.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phased Workflows: Define phases (backend, frontend, testing) with clear sequencing and parallelism.
  • Handoff & Progress Tracking: Manage transitions between agents and phases, checkpoints, and status updates.
  • Dependency & Quality Enforcement: Resolve dependencies, gate progression on successful checks, and surface blockers.
  • Official Templates: Leverage pre-defined workflow templates for common patterns (full-stack, refactor, integration, etc.).

Quick Start

Use the Full-Stack Feature Workflow to coordinate a backend foundation, API, frontend UI, integration tests, and final review across five phases.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent workflows across complex features?

Multi-agent workflow coordination automates handoffs between agents (backend, frontend, testing, review) across related issues. This Skill defines phases, validates checkpoints, resolves dependencies, and tracks progress to ensure complex epics move smoothly from start to finish without blockers.

What's the best way to structure phased workflows with sequential and parallel stages?

Phased workflows let you define ordered or parallel stages—backend foundation, API, frontend UI, integration tests, final review—with clear transitions. This Skill manages sequencing, phase gating, and checkpoint validation so each stage completes successfully before the next begins.

Can I track progress and dependencies across multiple agents working on one feature?

Yes. This Skill tracks progress through handoff management and status updates, enforces dependency resolution to prevent blocked stages, and gates progression on successful quality checks, surfacing blockers in real time across your agent team.

When should I use workflow orchestration instead of manual agent coordination?

Use orchestration for complex epics requiring 3+ agents, sequential or parallel phases, and dependency resolution. Manual coordination becomes error-prone at this scale; orchestration automates phase transitions, checkpoint validation, and agent assignment via MCP tooling and issue monitoring.

Do workflow templates support common patterns like full-stack features and refactors?

Yes. Official templates provide pre-defined workflows for common patterns including full-stack development, refactors, and integrations. Templates accelerate setup by encoding phase structure, handoff logic, and checkpoint validation specific to each pattern.

What happens if a dependency isn't resolved before a phase progresses?

Dependency resolution gates phase progression; unmet dependencies block advancement and surface as blockers. This Skill validates prerequisites and enforces quality checks before handoffs, preventing downstream phases from starting with incomplete upstream work.
