SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps an AI orchestrate complex work by decomposing goals into Kanban tasks, routing each subtask to the right specialist, and avoiding the trap of doing the work itself.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposition playbook: Turns an ambiguous or large objective into a task graph with clear parents/child dependencies.
  • Specialist roster conventions: Uses a standard set of roles (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) to assign work appropriately.
  • Anti-temptation guardrails: Enforces the rule to route tasks instead of executing directly, including asking the user to define a missing profile.

Quick Start

Use kanban-orchestrator to decompose your request into a Kanban plan by asking the orchestrator to route the work to specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-orchestrator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose a complex objective into a task graph with dependency gating?

Kanban task decomposition breaks down complex objectives into parent-child task graphs using kanban_create, enforcing dependency gating so subtasks route to specialists instead of executing directly. This creates a persistent audit trail for recovery.

What is multi-agent routing and how does it manage a specialist roster?

Multi-agent routing assigns decomposed Kanban subtasks to a standard specialist roster including researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, and pm roles. Anti-temptation guardrails enforce task routing instead of direct execution.

When do I need a persistent Kanban work plan for multi-step workflows?

Use persistent Kanban work plans for multi-step research, drafting, review gating, and parallel execution scenarios. They provide an audit trail and enable crash recovery when orchestrating complex objectives that require dependency management.

Can I use kanban-orchestrator for parallel execution and review gating?

Yes, kanban-orchestrator supports parallel execution and review gating scenarios by decomposing objectives into a persistent task graph with parent gating, routing subtasks to specialist profiles while maintaining recovery and audit capabilities.

How do I handle a missing specialist profile in task routing?

When a specialist profile is missing from the roster, anti-temptation guardrails enforce asking the user to define the missing profile rather than allowing the agent to execute the routed task directly.

What are the limitations of using Kanban orchestration for task decomposition?

Kanban orchestration requires defining specialist profiles upfront and relies on dependency gating, meaning tasks cannot execute directly. If a profile is undefined, the workflow pauses to request user input rather than auto-resolving the gap.
