SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrate complex, multi-step tasks by coordinating specialized agents, enforcing delegation, parallel execution, and mandatory argus verification to avoid doing everything yourself.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delegation-first protocol: always hand off substantive work to specialized agents.
  • Subagent coordination and cross-checks: coordinate sisyphus-junior, oracle, explore, librarian, and argus.
  • Verification discipline: require argus verification before marking completion.
  • Task loop guidance: structured workflows and decision gates to manage large codebase work.
  • Persistence and governance: maintain task lists and track blockers and progress across many files.

Quick Start

Describe a complex multi-file task and let Sisyphus orchestrate the delegation and verification flow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple agents for complex codebase changes spanning multiple files?

Multi-agent orchestration coordinates specialized agents by delegating code edits to sisyphus-junior, analyzing dependencies with librarian, and enforcing mandatory argus verification to complete complex codebase changes.

What is the best way to enforce verification before marking multi-step code tasks as complete?

To enforce verification before marking tasks complete, use a strict workflow requiring argus verification on all delegated code edits and cross-file validation results before final completion.

Can I use specialized agents for parallel execution during architecture planning?

Yes, you can use specialized agents like oracle and explore for parallel execution during architecture planning, coordinating the workflow and tracking progress across many files.

How do I manage blockers and track progress across large multi-file debugging tasks?

You manage blockers and track progress across large multi-file debugging tasks using structured task loop guidance with decision gates, maintaining task lists and governance throughout the orchestration flow.

Does multi-agent orchestration require specific subagents to handle code edits?

Yes, the delegation-first protocol requires handing off substantive code edits to sisyphus-junior, while other specialized agents handle analysis and verification.

When should I avoid using a delegation-first protocol for software engineering tasks?

Avoid using a delegation-first protocol for simple, single-file modifications that do not require cross-file validation or parallel execution, as the mandatory verification overhead is designed for complex multi-step tasks.
