up-orchestrator

You orchestrate the UP cycle by loading or creating a master process plan file, tracking progress, and selecting the next skill to run based on missing artifacts like vision, requirements, or use cases.

Artifact-driven state management is a governance mechanism where the orchestrator tracks project progress by evaluating the existence and status of generated artifacts, using commands like up_list_artifacts to determine the next workflow phase.

To start automated UP governance, invoke the orchestrator to load or create the 00-process-plan.md file, which establishes the system vision and determines the next required UP skill to execute in the iterative development workflow.

Yes, you can use this orchestrator for cross-skill coordination in project planning by utilizing up_load_artifact, up_list_artifacts, and up_update_state commands to manage dependencies and trigger subsequent skills automatically.

You need an orchestrator for Unified Process governance when managing complex software systems that require end-to-end cycle coordination, proactive planning, and artifact-driven state management across multiple iterative development phases.
