SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The orchestrator coordinates the end-to-end SDD pipeline by dispatching subagents, enforcing loop caps, and gating the handoff through a mandatory audit stage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous Phase 4 orchestration: dispatches dev, code-reviewer, logic-reviewer, qa, blocker-specialist, and audit-agent via the Task tool, with batch launches per turn.
  • Robust governance: enforces caps, tracks state in session.yml, and maintains a mechanical audit trail through dispatch-manifest and outputs.
  • Handoff-driven delivery: guarantees a single consolidated handoff only after the audit gate passes, with full traceability for compliance and post-mortem analysis.
  • Resilience: supports --resume and --restart for interrupted sessions and handles partial failures with defined retry and escalation policies.

Quick Start

Run the orchestrator for an approved Session: /orchestrator FEAT-NNN, or use --resume/--restart to continue or restart an existing one.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate end-to-end AI feature pipelines with multiple subagents?

You can coordinate end-to-end AI feature pipelines by dispatching subagents for dev, code-review, qa, and audit tasks in batched launches. The orchestrator enforces loop caps and tracks state to maintain traceability across the full dev-to-qa lifecycle.

What is the best way to gate development handoffs through a mandatory audit stage?

Gating development handoffs requires a mandatory audit stage that checks a mechanical audit trail before delivery. This approach guarantees a single consolidated handoff only after the audit gate passes, ensuring full traceability for compliance and post-mortem analysis.

How do I resume an interrupted AI development session without losing state?

You can resume an interrupted AI development session by running the orchestrator with the --resume flag. It tracks pipeline state in a session file and handles partial failures using defined retry and escalation policies to recover the workflow.

When do I need hook-based safeguards for dispatching AI subagents?

You need hook-based safeguards when dispatching AI subagents to enforce reference contracts and maintain safety. These safeguards include dispatch-manifests, model calibration, and handoff rules to ensure recoverability and traceability during autonomous pipeline orchestration.

Can I batch dispatch multiple AI agents in a single turn for feature development?

Yes, you can batch dispatch multiple AI agents in a single turn for feature development. The orchestrator launches dev, logic-reviewer, and blocker-specialist agents simultaneously to accelerate the pipeline while enforcing strict execution caps.

What are the limitations of autonomously orchestrating full dev-to-qa lifecycles?

Limitations of autonomously orchestrating full dev-to-qa lifecycles include strict loop caps that terminate runaway processes and reliance on predefined failure-modes policies. Partial failures require manual restarts or escalations if automated retry limits are exceeded.
