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.
