What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of stalled, misrouted, or incorrectly bundled multi-agent tasks in Kanban workflows by enforcing strict profile validation, proper work decomposition, and explicit dependency management for orchestrator profiles.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Profile Discovery & Validation: Automatically verifies available Hermes profiles before task assignment to prevent silent task stalls from unknown assignee names.
- Task Graph Decomposition: Breaks complex user requests into independent parallel lanes and gated dependent tasks, with explicit parent-child linking to enforce execution order.
- Anti-Temptation Guardrails: Enforces the "route, don't execute" rule to prevent orchestrators from performing implementer work themselves, ensuring clear role separation.
- Use Case: If a user requests a full software migration analysis, implementation, and CTO memo, the Skill decomposes this into parallel research tasks, a synthesis task gated on the research outputs, and a drafting task gated on the synthesis, each assigned to the correct existing specialist profile.
Quick Start
Ask the orchestrator to decompose your multi-step software development request into Kanban tasks assigned to your configured Hermes profiles, with parallel lanes for independent work and dependency links for gated steps.
