SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinate multi-agent development in a shared war room to prevent conflicts and duplicate work.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces coordination rules for concurrent agents, including checking the mission board, claiming tasks, locking files, and sharing findings.
Defines a deterministic workflow to keep all agents aligned, track progress, and release locks when done.
Use Case: When several agents work on the same codebase, follow the 7 Iron Rules to avoid overwriting each other's work.

Quick Start

Begin by calling check_mission_board() to see available tasks, then claim_task() before editing any files.

FAQPage Schema

How do I coordinate multiple agents editing the same codebase without conflicts?▼

Multi-agent coordination without conflicts requires a shared war room workflow where agents check a mission board, claim tasks, and lock files before editing. This deterministic process prevents agents from overwriting each other's work in collaborative coding projects.

What is the best way to prevent duplicate work when running concurrent development agents?▼

Preventing duplicate work with concurrent agents involves enforcing coordination rules through a mission board. Agents must check available tasks, claim them explicitly, and share findings so all agents stay aligned and track progress without repeating completed work.

How does file locking work in a multi-agent collaborative coding workflow?▼

File locking in a multi-agent workflow requires agents to call lock_file before editing, blocking other agents from modifying the same code. Agents release locks by calling complete_task when done, ensuring deterministic access control across shared repositories.

Do I need a defined workflow with specific functions to manage multi-agent task coordination?▼

Yes, multi-agent task coordination requires a defined workflow with explicit functions like check_mission_board, claim_task, lock_file, share_finding, and complete_task, plus guidance documented in SKILL.md to keep all agents aligned.

When do I need a war room protocol for multi-agent code collaboration?▼

You need a war room protocol for multi-agent code collaboration when several agents work on the same codebase across repositories simultaneously. It enforces the 7 Iron Rules to avoid conflicts, duplicate work, and overwriting each other's edits.

What are the limitations of using a mission board for multi-agent task management?▼

Mission board task management depends on agents strictly following the deterministic workflow and calling coordination functions correctly. If agents skip locking files or claiming tasks, the conflict prevention mechanism breaks down across the shared codebase.
