SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous, multi-agent coding workflows in forge projects require disciplined coordination to prevent conflicts and ensure traceable progress. This Skill provides a protocol and operational guidance so agents can claim features, implement changes, verify results, write context, and hand off cleanly within a git-backed loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature claiming protocol for multi-agent collaboration
  • Phase-driven execution guidance (orientation, claim, implement, verify, handoff)
  • Context-writing and reference management to preserve learnings
  • Handoff, review, and session handover across agents in a loop

Quick Start

Follow Phase 1 orientation to begin using the forge protocol in your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate autonomous coding agents to prevent git conflicts in parallel sessions?

Use a forge-managed development loop with git-based coordination and session awareness to orchestrate autonomous coding agents. This prevents conflicts and ensures traceable progress across parallel agent sessions.

What is the feature claiming protocol for multi-agent software projects?

The feature claiming protocol is a phase-driven execution mechanism within a forge-managed loop that allows autonomous agents to orient, claim features, implement changes, verify results, and hand off cleanly while maintaining structured governance.

How do I start using the forge protocol for multi-agent collaboration?

Follow Phase 1 orientation to begin using the forge protocol in your project. This initial phase provides operational guidance for the subsequent claim, implement, verify, and handoff execution stages.

Does autonomous agent orchestration work with git-based coordination for handoffs?

Yes, autonomous agent orchestration uses git-based coordination to manage session handovers. Agents write context and references to preserve learnings, ensuring clean handoffs and reviews across the development loop.

Why do I need context writing and reference management in autonomous coding workflows?

Context writing and reference management are needed in autonomous coding workflows to preserve learnings across agent sessions. This ensures phase-based execution and structured governance maintain continuity during feature handoffs.

When should I not use phase-based execution for autonomous agents?

Avoid phase-based execution for autonomous agents when your software project lacks git-backed infrastructure or structured governance requirements. The protocol relies on git-based coordination and session awareness for traceable progress.
