SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Kanban orchestrator helps when the assistant should route work instead of doing it itself, especially for large goals that need discovery, decomposition, assignment, and coordination across multiple profiles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Profiles first: Discover which worker profiles actually exist before creating cards.
  • Decompose into lanes: Split mixed requests into independent research, implementation, synthesis, and review tasks.
  • Dependency-safe fan-out: Create parallel cards for independent work and parent-linked cards for gated work.
  • Recovery and maintenance: Handle stuck workers with reclaim, reassign, or model changes while preserving auditability.
  • Example use case: A product migration request can be split into research, implementation, validation, and final memo tasks, each routed to the right specialist.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to discover the available profiles, break your goal into Kanban lanes, and create the linked tasks needed to route the work safely.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split a complex multi-step project into parallel tasks with dependency gates?

Multi-step work is split by routing the request into a Kanban task graph, creating parallel cards for independent work and parent-linked cards for gated dependencies to keep execution synchronized across available profiles.

What is the best way to orchestrate multi-agent workflows without letting the main assistant execute tasks directly?

Multi-agent orchestration is managed by decomposing mixed requests into research, implementation, synthesis, and review lanes, then assigning each card to a discovered worker profile instead of having the orchestrator execute the work itself.

How do I assign work to specific worker profiles for parallel execution?

Worker assignment requires discovering which profiles actually exist first, then using explicit assignee names when creating Kanban cards to route specialized tasks safely to the correct specialist.

How do I recover stuck workers in a dependency graph without losing task synchronization?

Stuck workers are recovered cautiously through reclaim, reassign, or model changes while preserving auditability and keeping parent-linked tasks synchronized in the correct namespace.

Can I use a Kanban task graph for human-in-the-loop workflows?

Kanban task graphs support human-in-the-loop workflows by applying dependency-safe fan-out to planning, research, implementation, review, and validation tasks that require gated execution across multiple profiles.

When should I not use multi-agent task routing for my project?

Multi-agent task routing should be avoided for simple, single-step requests that do not require discovery, decomposition, and coordination across multiple worker profiles or parallel dependency gates.
