SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill manages substantial implementation work by orchestrating multiple specialist agents through a structured, milestone-based process within tmux, ensuring clear progress gates and focused execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Milestone-Based Execution: Breaks down large tasks into manageable milestones with defined completion criteria.
  • Specialist Orchestration: Manages distinct agent roles (CEO/PM, TPM, Implementer, etc.) within tmux panes for parallel or sequential task execution.
  • Structured Check-ins: Enforces frequent check-backs and dogfooding gates for user-testable milestones.
  • Use Case: Launching a new feature that requires backend logic, UI design, and thorough integration testing, ensuring each phase is reviewed and approved before proceeding to the next.

Quick Start

Use gaud-mode to orchestrate the implementation of the new user onboarding flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate multi-stage development projects using tmux?

Multi-stage development projects are orchestrated using tmux by breaking down tasks into defined milestones, managing specialist agent personas in parallel panes, and enforcing structured check-ins for progress tracking.

What is milestone-driven agent management for workflow automation?

Milestone-driven agent management is a workflow automation approach that coordinates distinct specialist agents through sequential or parallel execution phases, enforcing completion criteria and dogfooding gates before advancing to the next milestone.

Do I need specific CLI tools to run agent management workflows with tmux?

Yes, executing agent management workflows requires tmux and various specialist command-line interfaces like Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode to handle provider routing and task execution.

Can I use milestone-based execution for complex feature development involving backend and UI?

Milestone-based execution supports complex feature development by assigning distinct agent roles like TPM and Implementer to handle backend logic, UI design, and integration testing through structured, reviewable phases.

How does provider fallback routing work during agent orchestration?

Provider fallback routing manages execution by directing tasks to alternative specialist CLIs when a primary provider fails, ensuring continuous workflow automation through tmux-based milestone execution.

When should I not use tmux milestones for software engineering tasks?

Tmux milestone orchestration is not suited for simple, single-step modifications or isolated tasks that lack defined completion criteria, as the overhead of managing specialist agent personas outweighs the benefits.
