SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Pipeline Orchestrator coordinates the full use-case-driven development pipeline by reading, validating, and sequencing multiple sub-skills to produce a developer-ready handoff package, while enforcing two mandatory human review gates and producing a coherent artifact manifest.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates nine sub-skills in a directed DAG, managing data flow and cross-skill inputs/outputs.
  • Enforces Gate 1 and Gate 2 human review gates to ensure quality before progressing.
  • Executes parallel branches (e.g., TDD, technical design, design artifacts) where DAG structure allows.
  • Generates a complete artifact manifest detailing all produced files and outputs.
  • Maintains a pipeline state object to resume, pause, or partial-run across phases.

Frequently Asked Questions about pipeline-orchestrator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate an end-to-end software development pipeline with human review gates?

An end-to-end pipeline orchestrator sequences multiple sub-skills in a directed DAG to translate product descriptions into tests, designs, and artifacts. It enforces mandatory human review gates and generates a coherent artifact manifest for developer handoff.

What is the best way to coordinate parallel branches in a feature development workflow?

The best way to coordinate parallel branches in a feature development workflow is using a pipeline orchestrator that executes branches like TDD and technical design simultaneously where the DAG structure allows, managing cross-skill inputs and outputs automatically.

How do I generate an artifact manifest for a multi-step AI pipeline?

To generate an artifact manifest for a multi-step AI pipeline, use a pipeline orchestrator that tracks all produced files and outputs. It coordinates sub-skills sequentially and records every artifact into a complete manifest for developer handoff.

Can I pause and resume a pipeline across different development phases?

Yes, you can pause and resume a pipeline across phases because the orchestrator maintains a pipeline state object. This state management allows you to partial-run workflows and resume execution after completing mandatory human review gates.

Does the pipeline orchestrator require specific dependencies to sequence sub-skills?

No, the pipeline orchestrator requires no specific dependencies to sequence sub-skills. It reads, validates, and wires cross-skill inputs and outputs natively to produce a developer-ready handoff package without external tool requirements.

When do I need human review gates in an automated feature development pipeline?

You need human review gates in an automated feature development pipeline when translating product descriptions into tests and designs. The orchestrator enforces Gate 1 and Gate 2 reviews to ensure quality and validate artifacts before progressing.
