SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Defines the shared protocols and conventions that ensure consistent, end-to-end DAN workflow orchestration across all agents and skills, enabling reliable planning, execution, and closed-loop delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PLAN -> APPLY -> UNIFY -> SUMMARY loop with explicit PLAN.md and SUMMARY.md relationships, ensuring no orphan plans and no skipping of the final SUMMARY phase.
  • Executor/Qualifier (E/Q) protocol with distinct roles and access: Executors generate artifacts with full tool access; Qualifiers read outputs for independent verification.
  • Diagnostic Routing to classify root causes (Intent, Spec, Code) before applying fixes, reducing wasted effort and guiding remediation.
  • State Protocol via dan-tools.cjs to read and write state centrally, including commands for state read/ get/ set/ patch and for parsing frontmatter.
  • Two-Level Rule: Skills orchestrate; Agents execute; prevents nested agent spawning for debuggability and predictable costs.
  • Fresh Context Rule: Each agent runs in a clean context with all needed inputs passed via file paths, and state persisted in STATE.md.

Quick Start

Provide a PLAN.md for a task and ensure a corresponding SUMMARY.md exists, then update STATE.md to close the loop.

Frequently Asked Questions about dan-workflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate multi-agent workflows with strict state management?▼

You orchestrate multi-agent workflows by enforcing a PLAN -> APPLY -> UNIFY -> SUMMARY loop, using shared state tools to centrally read and write state for reliable execution and closed-loop task delivery.

What is the executor and qualifier protocol for task verification?▼

The executor and qualifier protocol separates roles so executors generate artifacts with full tool access, while qualifiers independently read those outputs to verify task results without modification privileges.

How do I prevent orphan plans when coordinating end-to-end task planning?▼

You prevent orphan plans by pairing every PLAN.md with a corresponding SUMMARY.md, ensuring the final summary phase is never skipped and closing the loop by updating STATE.md.

Can I run nested agents for complex diagnostic routing and task execution?▼

No, a two-level rule prevents nested agent spawning because skills orchestrate while agents execute, ensuring debuggability and predictable costs by running each agent in a fresh context.

How do I classify root causes before applying fixes to workflow tasks?▼

You classify root causes using diagnostic routing to categorize issues as Intent, Spec, or Code before applying fixes, which reduces wasted effort and guides targeted remediation.
