SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps orchestrator profiles break ambiguous or multi-skill work into a dependency-gated Kanban plan so the system routes tasks to the right specialists instead of the orchestrator doing the execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decomposition playbook: Clarifies goals, sketches a task graph, and then creates Kanban tasks with parent/child gates for controlled promotion.
  • Specialist roster conventions: Uses a standard set of roles (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend/front-end engineers, ops, pm) with workspace conventions to keep work consistent.
  • Anti-temptation guardrails: Enforces “route, don’t execute” by requiring task creation and preventing the orchestrator from taking over implementation.
  • Operational recovery guidance: Provides reclaim/reassign/model-change actions when workers crash, hallucinate, or get blocked.

Quick Start

Ask an orchestrator to decompose the user’s goal into a Kanban task graph first, then create and route the resulting specialist tasks with dependency gates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decompose multi-step goals into a Kanban task graph for specialist routing?▼

Kanban task graph decomposition starts by clarifying ambiguous goals, sketching a dependency-gated task plan, and creating parent/child tasks with assignees. This enforces controlled promotion and routes work to specialists instead of the orchestrator executing it.

What is dependency gating in a multi-agent Kanban workflow?▼

Dependency gating in a multi-agent Kanban workflow uses parent and child task relationships to enforce controlled promotion. It prevents downstream specialists from starting work until upstream tasks are completed and summarized via kanban_complete actions.

How do I recover a Kanban workflow when specialist workers crash or get blocked?▼

Kanban workflow recovery involves reclaiming, reassigning, or changing the model of stuck specialist workers. These operational actions handle crashes, hallucinations, and blocked states to resume the dependency-gated task graph.

Does the Kanban orchestrator execute specialist tasks like research and drafting itself?▼

The Kanban orchestrator does not execute specialist tasks itself. It enforces a strict route-don't-execute policy, acting only to create Kanban tasks with assignees and parents, preventing the orchestrator from taking over implementation.

Can I use a standard specialist roster for fan-out research and synthesis in task decomposition?▼

You can use a standard specialist roster including researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend/front-end engineers, ops, and pm roles. These workspace conventions keep fan-out research, synthesis, drafting, and review consistent across the Kanban workflow.

What are the limitations of using a Kanban decomposition workflow for multi-agent routing?▼

Kanban decomposition workflows require predefined task graph planning and strict dependency gating. Without proper kanban_create and kanban_complete summaries, the persistent audit trace breaks, and recovery actions are needed when workers crash or hallucinate.
