orchestration

Multi-agent orchestration automates coordination by routing tasks to appropriate agents in sequence, maintaining centralized state, and passing context between agents. It ensures complex goals are achieved reliably across Planner, Builder, and Architect roles.

Start an end-to-end workflow by passing a goal to the orchestrator, such as /orchestrate "Add OAuth support". This triggers a plan-then-build workflow that routes the task through Planning, Building, and Validation phases automatically.

If an agent fails, failure recovery mechanisms trigger automatic retries, re-planning, and escalation. The orchestrator uses context handoffs with checkpointing and traceable logs to recover state and resume the workflow from the failure point.

State management works by maintaining progress, checkpoints, and cross-agent context centrally. This allows the orchestrator to track each agent's status and ensure context handoffs are passed correctly between Planner, Builder, and Architect components.

You can use this orchestration Skill for build-only workflows, multi-task workflows, and plan-then-build workflows. It applies centralized routing and state management to coordinate STUDIO agents across any of these workflow patterns.

Centralized routing is needed to direct tasks to the appropriate agents in the correct sequence. Without it, coordinating multiple agents directly is error-prone due to missing shared context, lack of checkpoints, and absent failure recovery mechanisms.
