SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Route tasks across a roster of specialists using Kanban to avoid doing the work yourself, enabling safer coordination, better auditability, and resilience across restarts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposition playbook: automatically decomposes complex work into a task graph with clear dependencies and handoffs.
  • Standard specialist roster: predefined profiles (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) to cover end-to-end workflows.
  • Anti-temptation rules: enforces "route, don't execute" to ensure specialists own tasks and keep processes auditable.
  • Lifecycle orchestration: supports fan-out/fan-in, gating, and persistent state so tasks survive crashes and restarts.
  • Auditable trace: boards and task history provide a persistent record of decisions and progress.

Quick Start

Define a task graph for a multi-person workflow and launch the first kanban_create tasks to start the orchestration.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent workflows without executing tasks myself?

Multi-agent workflow coordination uses a Kanban orchestrator to route work across specialist profiles, enforcing anti-temptation rules so agents own tasks while you maintain an auditable trace of progress.

What is task decomposition in multi-agent orchestration?

Task decomposition in multi-agent orchestration breaks complex work into a dependency-based task graph with clear handoffs, enabling fan-out/fan-in gating and parallel subtasks across a predefined specialist roster.

How do I set up human-in-the-loop review for parallel subtasks?

Human-in-the-loop review for parallel subtasks is set up by defining a task graph with gating mechanisms, allowing specialists to complete work while routing review tasks back to human operators for approval.

Can I use predefined specialist profiles for end-to-end project workflows?

Yes, predefined specialist profiles including researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, and pm cover end-to-end project workflows, ensuring tasks route to appropriate agents based on task requirements.

Does multi-agent orchestration survive crashes and restarts?

Multi-agent orchestration survives crashes and restarts through persistent state lifecycle management, which maintains task history and board states so in-progress work resumes without losing the auditable trace.

What are the limitations of routing tasks instead of executing them directly?

Routing tasks instead of executing them directly introduces orchestration overhead and requires strict adherence to anti-temptation guardrails, but ensures safer coordination, better auditability, and resilience across multi-agent projects.
