SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates execution of tasks from the native task list by dispatching parallel worker agents across multiple worktrees, handling failures and retries, surfacing blockers and human tasks, routing worker questions to the user, and merging results while updating the changelog.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parallel task execution: Dispatches independent sub-tasks to worker agents to speed up completion while respecting dependencies.
Human-in-the-loop and blockers: Shows unresolved human tasks, creates inbox blockers, and surfaces questions to the user for fast resolution.
Changelog and integration: Maintains per-waypoint changelogs and triggers plan refresh on completion.

Quick Start

Instruct the system to start executing tasks for a given waypoint; the system will manage workers, blockers, questions, changelog, and completion automatically.

FAQPage Schema

How do I orchestrate parallel workers for task execution from a native task list?▼

To orchestrate parallel task execution, you dispatch independent sub-tasks to worker agents across multiple worktrees. This system manages workers, handles failures and retries, and merges results while updating the changelog automatically.

How does workflow management handle blockers and human input during task dispatch?▼

Workflow management handles blockers by creating inbox entries for human tasks and surfacing unresolved questions directly to the user. This ensures fast resolution by routing worker agent questions and tracking blockers throughout the waypoint lifecycle.

Can I manage per-waypoint changelogs and trigger plan refreshes after task completion?▼

Yes, you can manage per-waypoint changelogs and trigger plan refreshes automatically upon task completion. The orchestrator maintains these changelog updates as part of its end-to-end waypoint lifecycle management.

What is the best way to manage dependencies when dispatching independent sub-tasks to worker agents?▼

The best way to manage dependencies during task dispatch is to use an orchestration system that coordinates parallel worker agents. The system respects task dependencies automatically while dispatching independent sub-tasks to speed up completion.

Do I need parallel worktrees to handle failures and retries during task orchestration?▼

Yes, parallel worktrees are required to handle failures and retries during task orchestration. The system dispatches worker agents across these worktrees to isolate execution, manage failures, and merge results successfully.
