review-orchestrator

A multi-agent literature review is coordinated by a central controller that routes tasks to search, planning, and writing subagents while maintaining a file-based governance workflow. This orchestrator manages task routing and preserves the approved framework.

To enforce plan approval before drafting, the workflow requires explicit user approval of the review framework and archives timestamped snapshots of approved plans under a dedicated history directory. Drafting only begins after this gatekeeping step is passed.

The best way to maintain audit history for literature reviews is to archive timestamped snapshots of approved plans within a dedicated history directory. This preserves the file-based governance and ensures an auditable trail across plan, draft, and review stages.

Yes, you can preserve your approved review framework when adding new literature. The orchestration workflow ensures the existing plan is maintained and routes new collection tasks to the search subagent without disrupting the approved drafting structure.

Yes, multi-agent literature orchestration works with OpenAlex by routing collection and reference management tasks to a dedicated search subagent. This integration supports the gathering of literature needed for the planning and writing phases.

A limitation of file-based workflow governance for literature reviews is its reliance on explicit plan approval and manual gatekeeping before drafting. Users must manage archived plan snapshots and ensure the controller correctly routes tasks across all three subagents.
