SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Staff-session coordinates multi-person architectural planning and review so PMs can delegate implementation details while ensuring the final plan or findings are rigorously challenged and synthesized.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PM-Gated team planning & review: runs in plan mode to craft new architectural plans, or review mode to critique an existing artifact with structured findings.
  • Tiered dispatch: supports lightweight single-reviewer routing as well as standard/full multi-debater staff sessions.
  • Role-bounded decision making: debaters produce competing positions; a dedicated synthesizer resolves conflicts into a final output without turning into full implementation ownership.

Quick Start

Use staff-session in plan mode to generate a new architecture plan by running: /staff-session --mode plan --tier standard <objectives-or-doc-path>.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run multi-agent architectural planning with a synthesizer?

Multi-agent architectural planning uses tiered debaters to produce competing positions, which a dedicated synthesizer resolves into a final PM-gated output. You initiate this by running a plan mode command with your objectives and a specified execution tier.

What is the best way to critique an existing architecture artifact with structured findings?

Critiquing an existing artifact uses review mode to generate structured findings through configured debater tiers. A dedicated synthesizer resolves conflicts and produces a final PM-gated critique without taking on full implementation ownership.

How does role separation work in a staff session for architectural decisions?

Role separation in a staff session assigns competing positions to debaters while a dedicated synthesizer resolves conflicts into the final output. This ensures rigorous challenge and synthesis without the synthesizer assuming full implementation ownership.

Can I use lightweight routing for single-reviewer architectural plan generation?

Yes, lightweight routing supports single-reviewer dispatch for architectural plan generation. You can configure tiered dispatch to route between lightweight single-reviewer execution and standard or full multi-debater staff sessions.

When do I need PM-gated decisions for team orchestration?

PM-gated decisions are needed when coordinating multi-person architectural planning and review so PMs can delegate implementation details. This ensures final plans or findings are rigorously challenged by debaters and synthesized before approval.

Does staff-session support deterministic team orchestration and routing rules?

Yes, staff-session satisfies deterministic team orchestration by applying strict routing rules for lightweight versus standard or full execution. It separates roles between debaters and a synthesizer to produce PM-gated synthesized outputs.
