Story orchestration coordinates task execution through priority-ordered delegation (To Review, To Rework, Todo states) to specialized workers, triggering quality gates and maintaining kanban status transitions end-to-end. It loops through child tasks, enforces phase-gated execution from discovery through quality validation, and prevents bulk updates.

Task delegation enforces single-task assignment with immediate follow-on quality checks, foundation-first flow, and metadata-driven planning phases. Bulk updates bypass per-task validation and phase sequencing, risking incomplete discovery and premature rework cycles.

Quality gating runs two-pass validation (Pass 1, then Pass 2) after task completion, assesses story-level progress, optionally revalidates if new tasks are created, and feeds results back to coordinate rework or progression to done state.

Automation routes tasks through specialized executors based on priority and state, applies continuous quality assessment without manual intervention, coordinates reviewer hand-offs, and syncs kanban updates with orchestration progress automatically.

Story orchestration loads metadata without full task descriptions during Phase 2, using priority tags, state labels, and phase markers to drive phase-gated execution, quality gate triggers, and delegation decisions across the workflow.

Use orchestration for multi-phase story flows requiring consistent quality gates, priority-based delegation, state-transition tracking, and automated reviewer coordination. Manual management suits single-task workflows or ad-hoc processes without repeatable phases.
