SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex process of implementing and reviewing project phases by coordinating specialized subagents, ensuring adherence to specifications, and managing the workflow from implementation to final review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase Orchestration: Manages sequential and parallel tasks within defined project phases.
  • Subagent Coordination: Delegates tasks to specialized skills like implementor and code-reviewer.
  • Progress Tracking: Monitors and updates task completion status within phase documentation.
  • Automated Review Cycles: Handles iterative code review and correction processes.
  • Use Case: When given a phase3.md file, this Skill will coordinate the implementation and review of each item, ensuring all tasks are completed and reviewed before moving to the next batch or phase.

Quick Start

Use the orchestrator skill to process the phase file located at .docs/watchfofns/phase3.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about orchestrator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate code implementation and review across multiple project phases?

Phase orchestration automates development workflow coordination by delegating tasks to specialized subagents for implementation, review, and quality assurance. It manages task progression through phase documentation and handles retries on transient failures for deterministic completion.

How does subagent coordination work for automated code review cycles?

Subagent coordination delegates implementation and review tasks to specialized subagents like implementor and code-reviewer. The orchestrator manages iterative code review and correction processes, executing final PR review passes before progressing to the next batch or phase.

Can I manage both sequential and parallel development tasks within defined project phases?

Yes, you can manage sequential and parallel tasks within defined project phases. The orchestration skill monitors and updates task completion status within phase documentation, ensuring all tasks are completed and reviewed before moving forward.

Do I need spec documents and convention files to automate development workflow orchestration?

Yes, spec documents and convention files are required to automate development workflow orchestration. The orchestrator requires adherence to agent conduct, conventions, and spec documents to achieve deterministic task completion during implementation and review.

What is the best way to handle transient failures during automated task progression?

The best way to handle transient failures during automated task progression is to use an orchestration skill that automatically manages retries. It coordinates subagents and tracks workflow progression through phase documentation to ensure tasks complete successfully.

When should I use an orchestrator for subagent coordination instead of manual task management?

Use an orchestrator for subagent coordination when processing phase files requiring iterative code review and implementation across multiple tasks. It automates progress tracking and final PR review passes, streamlining complex project phase workflows more effectively than manual task management.
