SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized protocol for coordinating complex workflows by using structured signals within issue notes, enabling AI agents and humans to orient and act based on shared, machine-readable context rather than prose.

Core Features & Use Cases

Stigmergic Workflow Coordination: Enables agents to orient by reading a DAG of signals rather than receiving briefings.
Structured Signal Tables: Defines a schema for tracking workflow state (e.g., cynefin, surprise, progress, escalation).
CUE Validation: Ensures the integrity and correctness of signal data.
Use Case: In a software development project, this Skill can help manage task progress, identify blockers, and escalate issues automatically by parsing and updating signal tables in issue trackers.

Quick Start

Use the stigmergic-convention skill to update the 'progress' signal to 'implementing' for issue ID '123'.

FAQPage Schema

How do I coordinate agentic workflows using structured signals instead of prose?▼

Stigmergic workflow coordination uses structured signal tables within issue notes, enabling AI agents to orient and act by reading a DAG of machine-readable signals rather than parsing prose summaries.

How does CUE validation ensure data integrity for workflow state?▼

CUE validation enforces schema correctness for signal tables, ensuring that workflow state data like schema version, cynefin domain, surprise levels, progress, and escalation status remain structurally valid and machine-readable.

Can I use stigmergic signals to track task progress and escalate issues in a software project?▼

Yes, stigmergic signals can manage task progress, identify blockers, and escalate issues automatically by parsing and updating signal tables within issue trackers using a structured machine-readable protocol.

What is the best way to manage workflow state across multiple AI agents?▼

Using a stigmergic convention protocol provides a shared machine-readable context through structured signal tables, allowing multiple agents to coordinate state, escalation, and planning depth without direct communication.

Does stigmergic workflow coordination work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, the stigmergic convention operates with no external dependencies, relying entirely on structured signal tables embedded in issue notes and CUE validation to maintain workflow state integrity.

When should I not use a stigmergic signal table for workflow coordination?▼

Stigmergic signal tables are less suitable for simple workflows that do not require tracking complex state variables like cynefin domain, surprise levels, or escalation status, where standard prose updates are sufficient.
