kanban-orchestrator

To prevent an orchestrator from executing tasks directly, you need a workflow automation approach that enforces strict task decomposition. This forces every concrete workstream into a Kanban card assigned to a specialist profile instead of allowing solo execution.

Dependency gating in multi-agent routing uses parent links to ensure synthesis, review, or integration tasks only start when their dependent workstreams are complete. This allows safe parallelization of independent lanes while maintaining correct task graph behavior.

Yes, you must discover available specialist profiles before creating a Kanban task graph. Profile-aware decomposition grounds planning in the profiles actually available on your machine, preventing silent task assignment failures when routing multi-lane fan-out work.

The best way to plan a multi-step change is to draft and present the task graph before creating any cards. This ensures correct fan-out across specialist profiles and applies explicit dependency gating so tasks start only when their required inputs are ready.

Yes, you can parallelize independent workstreams in a Kanban workflow. By using parent links for dependency gating, independent lanes run safely in parallel while synthesis and integration tasks wait for their dependent workstreams to complete.

Task graph orchestration fails when assigning work to unavailable specialist profiles because it lacks profile-aware decomposition. Grounding the task decomposition in the profiles actually available on your machine prevents silent task assignment failures during multi-agent routing.
