What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers a human leader to coordinate multi-agent orchestration sessions so that complex engineering work can be planned, delegated, and observed without any single agent editing files or executing tasks directly, avoiding conflicts and unsafe local changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Session lifecycle management: start sessions, list and check status, and end sessions while enforcing actor-based mutating operations.
• Task planning and assignment: break goals into isolated, file-specific tasks with acceptance criteria and assign them to appropriate agents.
• Signals and observation: deliver inject_context, request_action, pause/resume, and abort signals and observe live activity with JSON outputs for automation.
• Use Case: run a coordinated development session across Claude, Codex, and Copilot agents where a leader creates tasks, waits for workers to join, assigns work by file isolation, and monitors progress until completion.

Quick Start

Start a new session with a concise goal, plan discrete tasks, ask the user to spawn worker agents to join, and wait for at least one worker before assigning tasks.
