SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous orchestration of multiple agents handling issues and tasks, analyzing dependencies, and ensuring resilient, parallel execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware task planning with phase gates and parallel execution
  • Per-task isolation via git worktrees and tmux sessions
  • Self-healing heartbeat monitoring to detect and recover from stalls or errors

Quick Start

  • Install required tooling (git, tmux, gh, Codex) and configure the orchestrator environment
  • Define a manifest of phases and tasks, then run the orchestrator to spawn worktrees and sessions
  • Monitor heartbeats and automatically recover or promote phases when complete

Frequently Asked Questions about task-orchestrator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate multiple Codex agents to run tasks in parallel?

You can orchestrate parallel Codex execution by defining a manifest of phases and tasks, which the orchestrator uses to spawn isolated git worktrees and tmux sessions for concurrent agent execution.

How does self-healing heartbeat monitoring work for autonomous agents?

Self-healing heartbeat monitoring tracks active agents and automatically triggers error recovery procedures when it detects stalled tmux sessions or failed Codex executions during autonomous task processing.

Do I need git worktrees and tmux to isolate parallel task execution?

Yes, per-task isolation requires git worktrees and tmux sessions to separate concurrent agent environments. The orchestrator automatically creates these isolated workspaces to prevent file conflicts during parallel execution.

What is dependency-aware task planning with phase gates?

Dependency-aware task planning analyzes task relationships and enforces phase gates, ensuring dependent tasks wait for prerequisite completion before executing. This prevents cascading failures and manages parallel execution order across large projects.

Can I use manifest-driven orchestration for large software engineering projects?

Yes, manifest-driven orchestration supports large software engineering projects by defining phases and tasks in a manifest file. The system then coordinates parallel work, automated code generation, testing, and passive progress auditing across the project.

What tools are required to set up autonomous multi-agent task orchestration?

Setting up the orchestrator requires git, tmux, gh, and Codex installed and configured in your environment. These tools provide the version control, terminal multiplexing, and code generation capabilities needed for autonomous workflow execution.
