SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Planning and coordinating multi-agent tasks can be error-prone and time-consuming; this Skill provides a structured 6-phase whip plan, captures decisions, and gates execution until approval.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 6-phase whip planning: convert a user intent into a concrete plan ready for review and execution.
  • Approval gating and plan persistence: saves to ~/.whip/plans and awaits user approval before starting execution with $whip-start.
  • Canvas for cross-workflow orchestration: helps teams align on task boundaries, backends, and ownership across tasks.

Quick Start

Describe your objective to whip-plan, and I will generate a 6-phase plan, save it to ~/.whip/plans, and await your approval to execute with $whip-start.

FAQPage Schema
What is multi-agent workflow planning and when do I need a structured plan for it?

Multi-agent workflow planning converts a user intent into a concrete 6-phase plan ready for review and execution. You need it when coordinating cross-team tasks that require explicit backends, task boundaries, and ownership to ensure reproducible outcomes.

How do I generate a whip plan for cross-team orchestration?

To generate a whip plan, describe your objective to the planner. It will document a multi-agent workflow into a concrete 6-phase plan, save it to ~/.whip/plans, and await your approval before starting execution with $whip-start.

Does multi-agent execution require approval gating before starting tasks?

Yes, this multi-agent execution requires approval gating. The system captures decisions and gates execution until approval, saving the workflow plan to ~/.whip/plans and waiting for user authorization before triggering execution via $whip-start.

What's the best way to coordinate task boundaries and ownership across engineering teams?

The best way to coordinate task boundaries and ownership is using a structured 6-phase whip plan. It provides a canvas for cross-workflow orchestration, helping engineering teams align on backends and ownership to ensure reproducible outcomes.

Why does plan persistence matter for multi-agent workflows?

Plan persistence matters because it captures decisions and saves the 6-phase plan under ~/.whip/plans. This ensures the multi-agent workflow is documented for review, enforcing explicit backends and task boundaries before execution begins.
