SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinates and enforces phase-driven epic and stage workflows to ensure disciplined task delegation and session management across Design, Build, Refinement, and Finalize.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase routing: detects current phase and invokes the corresponding phase skill (design, build, refinement, finalize) to drive work.
  • Coordination protocol: ensures the main agent acts as a coordinator, delegates to subagents, and maintains session independence.
  • Exit gates and communication: enforces mandatory exit gates and structured post-action reporting after each subagent call.

Quick Start

Begin by running /next_task to load the orchestrator, which will detect the current phase and invoke the appropriate phase skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate subagents for phase-driven epic workflows?

Phase-driven workflow orchestration detects the current project stage and automatically invokes the corresponding phase skill. It enforces main-agent coordination, strict subagent delegation, and mandatory exit gates to drive disciplined execution.

How do I start an epic-stage workflow session?

Begin an epic-stage workflow by running /next_task to load the orchestrator. It detects the current project phase and automatically invokes the corresponding phase skill to drive subsequent work forward.

What are mandatory exit gates in stage workflow coordination?

Mandatory exit gates in stage workflow coordination are enforced checkpoints validating phase completion before progression. They require structured post-action reporting after each subagent call to maintain session discipline.

Can I use epic-stage workflow for session independence across multiple phases?

Epic-stage workflows support session independence by enforcing a main-agent coordination protocol. The main agent delegates to subagents while maintaining structured communication, ensuring each session remains isolated.

What's the best way to enforce structured communication after subagent delegation?

The best way to enforce structured communication is using a coordination protocol that mandates post-action reporting after each subagent call. This ensures main-agent oversight throughout the phase-driven workflow.
