Orchestrate Command

Sequential agent workflow for complex tasks.

Usage

/orchestrate [workflow-type] [task-description]

Workflow Types

feature

Full feature implementation workflow:

planner -> tdd-guide -> code-reviewer -> security-reviewer

bugfix

Bug investigation and fix workflow:

explorer -> tdd-guide -> code-reviewer

refactor

Safe refactoring workflow:

architect -> code-reviewer -> tdd-guide

security

Security-focused review:

security-reviewer -> code-reviewer -> architect

Execution Pattern

For each agent in the workflow:

1. Invoke agent with context from previous agent
2. Collect output as structured handoff document
3. Pass to next agent in chain
4. Aggregate results into final report

Handoff Document Format

Between agents, create handoff document:

## HANDOFF: [previous-agent] -> [next-agent]

### Context
[Summary of what was done]

### Findings
[Key discoveries or decisions]

### Files Modified
[List of files touched]

### Open Questions
[Unresolved items for next agent]

### Recommendations
[Suggested next steps]

Example: Feature Workflow

/orchestrate feature "Add user authentication"

Executes:

1. Planner Agent

   • Analyzes requirements
   • Creates implementation plan
   • Identifies dependencies
   • Output: HANDOFF: planner -> tdd-guide

2. TDD Guide Agent

   • Reads planner handoff
   • Writes tests first
   • Implements to pass tests
   • Output: HANDOFF: tdd-guide -> code-reviewer

3. Code Reviewer Agent

   • Reviews implementation
   • Checks for issues
   • Suggests improvements
   • Output: HANDOFF: code-reviewer -> security-reviewer

4. Security Reviewer Agent

   • Security audit
   • Vulnerability check
   • Final approval
   • Output: Final Report

Final Report Format

ORCHESTRATION REPORT
====================
Workflow: feature
Task: Add user authentication
Agents: planner -> tdd-guide -> code-reviewer -> security-reviewer

-------------
Planner: [summary]
TDD Guide: [summary]
Code Reviewer: [summary]
Security Reviewer: [summary]

FILES CHANGED
-------------
[List all files modified]

Parallel Execution

For independent checks, run agents in parallel:

### Parallel Phase
Run simultaneously:
- code-reviewer (quality)
- security-reviewer (security)
- architect (design)

### Merge Results
Combine outputs into single report

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS:

• feature <description> - Full feature workflow
• bugfix <description> - Bug fix workflow
• refactor <description> - Refactoring workflow
• security <description> - Security review workflow
• custom <agents> <description> - Custom agent sequence

Custom Workflow Example

/orchestrate custom "architect,tdd-guide,code-reviewer" "Redesign caching layer"

Tips

1. Start with planner for complex features
2. Always include code-reviewer before merge
3. Use security-reviewer for auth/payment/PII
4. Keep handoffs concise - focus on what next agent needs
5. Run verification between agents if needed
