SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents an orchestrator from skipping decomposition by enforcing a Kanban-based workflow that routes work to the right specialist, while preserving an audit trail of tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrator role playbook: Provides conventions for researcher/analyst/writer/reviewer and engineering/ops/pm specialties so routing stays consistent.
  • Kanban decomposition lifecycle: Instructs how to understand goals, sketch a task graph, create linked tasks with dependency gates, and report back after completion.
  • Anti-temptation safeguards: Enforces "decompose, route, and summarize" so the orchestrator does not execute the work directly, including reassignment guidance for reviewer-needed changes.

Quick Start

Use the kanban-orchestrator skill when you need to plan and route multi-step work (e.g., research, synthesize, write, review) to multiple specialists using a persistent Kanban board.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I route multi-step work to different specialists without losing track of dependencies?

Multi-agent orchestration routes work by decomposing goals into a Kanban task graph with parent-child dependencies and gating, ensuring specialist routing stays consistent and preserves an audit trail.

What is the best way to decompose ambiguous goals into structured tasks for an orchestrator?

Task decomposition breaks ambiguous goals into a Kanban lifecycle: understand objectives, sketch a task graph, create linked tasks with dependency gates, and summarize results for human-in-the-loop review.

How do I prevent my orchestrator from executing work directly instead of routing it?

Anti-temptation safeguards enforce a strict decompose, route, and summarize playbook, preventing the orchestrator from executing work directly and providing reassignment guidance for reviewer-needed changes.

Can I maintain a consistent specialist roster for workflow planning across restarts?

Yes, workflow planning uses consistent specialist-roster conventions for research, analysis, writing, reviewing, engineering, ops, and PM roles, ensuring routing survives restarts and supports iterative interventions.

Does multi-agent orchestration work for iterative workflows that require human-in-the-loop interventions?

Yes, multi-agent orchestration applies to iterative workflows by maintaining a persistent Kanban board with dependency gating, which supports human-in-the-loop interventions and preserves task state across restarts.
