SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually breaking down high-level project goals into discrete, trackable tasks and coordinating assignments across specialized workers is time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale for complex multi-step projects. This skill eliminates that overhead by automating the entire kanban workflow creation and worker dispatch process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Workflow Decomposition: Breaks any high-level goal (e.g., "build a paper ingestion pipeline") into structured, prioritized tasks organized into standard kanban lanes (backlog, ready, doing, done).
  • Intelligent Worker Dispatch: Routes decomposed tasks to the appropriate specialized worker lanes (codex, orcaid, subagents) and manages the full verification loop for completed work, including rework requests for failed verifications.
  • Use Case Example: For a research team needing to process 50 new academic papers, this skill will automatically generate all required tasks (PDF parsing, figure extraction, metadata indexing) and assign them to the correct workers, tracking progress until all tasks are completed and verified.

Quick Start

Use the kanban-orchestrator skill to decompose the goal "build a customer onboarding automation pipeline" into a full kanban board with assigned worker lanes and track progress until all tasks are completed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project goal decomposition into trackable tasks?

Automated project goal decomposition breaks high-level goals into structured, prioritized tasks organized into standard kanban lanes like backlog, ready, doing, and done. This eliminates manual workflow planning overhead for complex multi-step projects.

What is worker dispatch in cross-functional project coordination?

Worker dispatch in cross-functional project coordination routes decomposed tasks to appropriate specialized worker lanes such as codex, orcaid, or subagents. It manages the full verification loop for completed work, including rework requests for failed verifications.

How do I set up a kanban board for autonomous agent task dispatch?

To set up a kanban board for autonomous agent task dispatch, provide a high-level goal to the orchestrator. It automatically generates all required tasks and assigns them to specialized worker lanes while tracking progress until completion and verification.

Can I use automated verification loops for research workstream management?

Yes, automated verification loops apply to research workstream management. For example, processing academic papers generates tasks for PDF parsing, figure extraction, and metadata indexing, assigning them to workers and verifying completion before marking them done.

What is the best way to track progress for complex multi-step workflows?

The best way to track progress for complex multi-step workflows is using an automated kanban board that assigns discrete work items to specialized worker lanes and monitors the verification loop until all tasks are completed and verified.

Do I need specialized workers to handle cross-functional project coordination?

Cross-functional project coordination requires specialized worker lanes like codex, orcaid, or subagents to handle discrete work items. The orchestrator routes decomposed tasks to these workers and manages rework requests if verification fails.
