SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates complex, multi-step processes by orchestrating agents in sequential pipelines or task graphs, ensuring that tasks are completed in the correct order and dependencies are managed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pipeline Orchestration: Define linear workflows where each stage depends on the previous one.
  • Task Graph Orchestration: Create complex Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with arbitrary dependencies, supporting fan-in and fan-out.
  • Use Case: Automate a software release process where code is first implemented, then reviewed by multiple specialists, and finally deployed, with each step only starting after the previous one is successfully completed.

Quick Start

Use the swarm-pipeline skill to implement and review the user authentication module.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate sequential agent workflows with task dependencies?▼

Sequential agent workflows are orchestrated using pipeline and task-graph patterns that manage dependencies between stages, requiring user confirmation and handling context relay between each node.

What is the best way to manage multi-stage agent processes with fan-in and fan-out?▼

Multi-stage agent processes support arbitrary Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) with arbitrary dependencies, enabling both fan-in and fan-out task graph capabilities across complex workflow nodes.

Can I use pipeline orchestration to automate a software release process with multiple specialists?▼

Pipeline orchestration automates software release processes by ensuring sequential execution, where code implementation, specialist reviews, and deployment stages only start after previous steps successfully complete.

Do I need to define a linear chain for agent workflow orchestration or can I use arbitrary DAGs?▼

Agent workflow orchestration supports both linear chains for simple sequential execution and arbitrary DAGs for complex dependency management, allowing flexible task graph structures.

How does context relay work between stages in a task graph pipeline?▼

Context relay between stages in a task graph pipeline passes processed information from one node to subsequent dependent nodes, requiring user confirmation before advancing through the sequential workflow.
