SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates complex multi-step work by decomposing tasks and coordinating specialist subagents. NEVER implements directly—only breaks down tasks, manages todos, delegates via Task tool, and verifies completion. Use when coordinating large features, multi-file changes, or any work requiring decomposition and parallel execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestration of decomposition and delegation to specialist subagents (e.g., frontend-engineer, doc-writer, and generic Task)
  • Management of todos, progress tracking, and verification of outputs before completion
  • Non-implementation policy enforcement, coordinating across multiple files and enabling parallel execution where possible

Quick Start

Provide a clear goal to Sisyphus and let it decompose into actionable tasks, assign them via the Task tool, and verify completion until all todos are finished.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-file changes and delegate tasks to subagents?

You can coordinate multi-file changes by providing a clear goal to Sisyphus, which decomposes the work into actionable tasks, delegates them via the Task tool to specialist subagents, and verifies completion. It never implements directly, only orchestrates.

What is the best way to manage parallel execution for large feature development?

Managing parallel execution for large features requires breaking down tasks and coordinating specialist subagents. Sisyphus orchestrates this by maintaining todos, delegating work via the Task tool, enabling parallel execution where possible, and validating outcomes before completion.

Does this task orchestration approach work for strict verification workflows?

Yes, task orchestration with Sisyphus works for strict verification workflows by enforcing a non-implementation policy and validating all subagent outputs before marking any todos or overall project completion as finished.

Can I use Sisyphus to decompose complex project management tasks without writing code directly?

Yes, you can use Sisyphus to decompose complex project management tasks without writing code directly. It enforces a strict non-implementation policy, meaning it only plans, manages progress, delegates via the Task tool, and verifies outputs.

When do I need subagent orchestration for code coordination?

You need subagent orchestration for code coordination when handling large features, multi-file changes, or complex workflows requiring decomposition, parallel execution, and strict verification of delegated specialist tasks.

Why does Sisyphus not implement code directly during task delegation?

Sisyphus does not implement code directly during task delegation because its core design enforces a non-implementation policy, ensuring it only orchestrates work, manages todos, delegates via the Task tool, and validates completion.
