What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of overloaded orchestrators and misrouted work in multi-agent kanban systems, ensuring complex goals are properly decomposed into tasks assigned to specialized worker profiles instead of being executed manually by the routing agent.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Task Decomposition Playbook: Structured workflow to break complex goals into task graphs with clear dependencies and assignee profiles.
- Specialist Roster Conventions: Pre-defined mappings of work types to standard specialist profiles (researcher, analyst, engineer, etc.) for consistent task assignment.
- Anti-Temptation Guardrails: Enforced rules that prevent orchestrators from executing work manually, strictly enforcing the "route, don't execute" workflow.
- Dependency & Recovery Management: Auto-promotion of tasks when parent dependencies are completed, plus workflows to reclaim, reassign, or fix stuck worker tasks.
- Use Case: For a Postgres migration evaluation, decompose the work into parallel cost and performance research tasks, a synthesis step for an analyst, and a memo drafting task for a writer, all routed automatically via the kanban system.
Quick Start
Use the kanban-orchestrator skill to decompose your complex multi-step project into a routed kanban task graph assigned to the appropriate specialist profiles.
