SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Route tasks across a roster of specialists using Kanban to avoid doing the work yourself, enabling safer coordination, better auditability, and resilience across restarts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposition playbook: automatically decomposes complex work into a task graph with clear dependencies and handoffs.
  • Standard specialist roster: predefined profiles (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) to cover end-to-end workflows.
  • Anti-temptation rules: enforces "route, don't execute" to ensure specialists own tasks and keep processes auditable.
  • Lifecycle orchestration: supports fan-out/fan-in, gating, and persistent state so tasks survive crashes and restarts.
  • Auditable trace: boards and task history provide a persistent record of decisions and progress.

Quick Start

Define a task graph for a multi-person workflow and launch the first kanban_create tasks to start the orchestration.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-orchestrator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent workflows without executing tasks myself?▼

Multi-agent workflow coordination uses a Kanban orchestrator to route work across specialist profiles, enforcing anti-temptation rules so agents own tasks while you maintain an auditable trace of progress.

What is task decomposition in multi-agent orchestration?▼

Task decomposition in multi-agent orchestration breaks complex work into a dependency-based task graph with clear handoffs, enabling fan-out/fan-in gating and parallel subtasks across a predefined specialist roster.

How do I set up human-in-the-loop review for parallel subtasks?▼

Human-in-the-loop review for parallel subtasks is set up by defining a task graph with gating mechanisms, allowing specialists to complete work while routing review tasks back to human operators for approval.

Can I use predefined specialist profiles for end-to-end project workflows?▼

Yes, predefined specialist profiles including researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, and pm cover end-to-end project workflows, ensuring tasks route to appropriate agents based on task requirements.

Does multi-agent orchestration survive crashes and restarts?▼

Multi-agent orchestration survives crashes and restarts through persistent state lifecycle management, which maintains task history and board states so in-progress work resumes without losing the auditable trace.

What are the limitations of routing tasks instead of executing them directly?▼

Routing tasks instead of executing them directly introduces orchestration overhead and requires strict adherence to anti-temptation guardrails, but ensures safer coordination, better auditability, and resilience across multi-agent projects.
