kanban-orchestrator

To decompose complex goals, route work through Kanban by breaking ambiguous objectives into a structured task graph with fan-out, fan-in, and dependency-gated promotion, assigning each item to a specialist profile rather than executing directly.

To prevent self-execution, apply anti-temptation guardrails that enforce a route-don't-execute behavior, ensuring the orchestrator creates and assigns concrete Kanban tasks for any work item rather than attempting to perform the work directly.

Recover stalled workers using operational reliability patterns like tenant inheritance and recovery workflows, which allow you to reclaim, reassign, or change the profile model for failing tasks to restore workflow progress.

Set up human-in-the-loop checkpoints by applying dependency-gated promotion to your task graph, ensuring work pauses for explicit review gates before dependent downstream tasks are allowed to begin processing.

Yes, multi-agent routing uses specialist roster routing conventions to assign work to the right profile, such as researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend, frontend, ops, or pm, ensuring tasks align with the correct specialist capabilities.

The orchestrator is limited to coordination only; it cannot execute concrete tasks itself and relies entirely on routing conventions to assign work to specialist profiles, meaning it requires available workers to process the decomposed task graph.
