SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multiple beads across an engineering team is hard when dependencies and file overlaps cause conflicts, and when progress must be tracked across waves and checkpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Wave-based scheduling to minimize file conflicts while satisfying dependencies and explicit blockers.
  • Standalone and sub-agent modes to balance user control and automated execution.
  • Checkpointing and results reporting to support resuming interrupted runs and reviewing outcomes.
  • End-to-end execution orchestration with isolated agents to manage bead claims, progress, and failure handling.

Quick Start

Provide bead IDs or describe tasks to generate a wave-based schedule and begin executing beads with parallelism and safety checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about dispatch

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule parallel tasks that have file-path overlaps and dependencies?

You can schedule parallel tasks safely by computing execution waves that respect file-path overlaps and dependencies, ensuring no conflicting tasks run simultaneously across isolated agents.

What is wave-based workflow orchestration for agent teams?

Wave-based workflow orchestration coordinates agent teams by analyzing beads for dependencies and file overlaps, scheduling tasks into sequential waves where each wave contains tasks safe to execute in parallel without conflicts.

How do I handle checkpointing and resume interrupted parallel execution runs?

Checkpointing and results reporting support resuming interrupted runs by tracking bead claims, progress, and failure handling across waves, allowing execution to restart from the last completed checkpoint without losing prior progress.

Can I run workflow orchestration in standalone mode without sub-agents?

Standalone and sub-agent modes are both supported to balance user control and automated execution, allowing you to generate a wave-based schedule and execute beads with parallelism and safety checks in either configuration.

How do I limit the number of agents running in parallel during task dispatch?

Adjustable agent caps allow you to limit the number of isolated agents running concurrently during execution orchestration, controlling parallelism while the wave scheduler ensures dependencies and file overlaps are respected.
