Autonomous epic orchestration coordinates planning, execution, monitoring, and validation across tools like swarm and beads to drive tasks to completion without human prompts. It manages the entire lifecycle from initial planning to final vibe validation automatically.

Wave-based parallel execution spawns multiple workers per wave with fresh context to maximize throughput while avoiding data bleed. This parallelism allows independent tasks within an epic to run simultaneously, significantly reducing overall execution time.

Start an autonomous epic workflow by providing a plan file or beads tasks to the crank skill, using a command like /crank <epic-id> or /crank plan.md. The system then coordinates the entire task lifecycle from planning to final validation.

Epic orchestration works directly with beads and TaskList, automatically syncing validation results back to these tools. Validation-driven closure performs a final vibe across changes and updates the task tracking systems to reflect completion status.

Coordinating interdependent tasks across multiple workers without data bleed is achieved through wave-based parallelism. Each worker operates with fresh context per wave, maximizing throughput while isolating task execution to prevent cross-contamination of data.

Autonomous epic execution requires a provided plan file or beads tasks to initiate, and depends on coordinating tools like swarm, vibe, and post-mortem for full lifecycle management. Complex interdependent tasks must be structured into waves to avoid data bleed during parallel execution.
