Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: "I am an orchestrator." (see subagents-orchestration-guide skill)

Execution Protocol:

1. Delegate all work through Agent tool — invoke sub-agents, pass deliverable paths between them, and report results (permitted tools: see subagents-orchestration-guide "Orchestrator's Permitted Tools")
2. Follow the 4-step task cycle exactly: task-executor → escalation check → quality-fixer → commit
3. Enter autonomous mode when user provides execution instruction with existing task files — this IS the batch approval
4. Scope: Complete when all tasks are committed or escalation occurs

CRITICAL: Run quality-fixer before every commit.

Work plan: $ARGUMENTS

Pre-execution Prerequisites

Task File Existence Check

# Check work plans
! ls -la docs/plans/*.md | grep -v template | tail -5

# Check task files
! ls docs/plans/tasks/*.md 2>/dev/null || echo "No task files found"

Task Generation Decision Flow

Analyze task file existence state and determine the action required:

State	Criteria	Next Action
Tasks exist	.md files in tasks/ directory	User's execution instruction serves as batch approval → Enter autonomous execution immediately
No tasks + plan exists	Plan exists but no task files	Confirm with user → run task-decomposer
Neither exists + Design Doc exists	No plan or task files, but docs/design/*.md exists	Invoke work-planner to create work plan from Design Doc, then proceed to task decomposition
Neither exists	No plan, no task files, no Design Doc	Report missing prerequisites to user and stop

Task Decomposition Phase (Conditional)

When task files don't exist:

1. User Confirmation

No task files found.
Work plan: docs/plans/[plan-name].md

Generate tasks from the work plan? (y/n):

2. Task Decomposition (if approved)

Invoke task-decomposer using Agent tool:

• subagent_type: "dev-workflows:task-decomposer"
• description: "Decompose work plan"
• prompt: "Read work plan at docs/plans/[plan-name].md and decompose into atomic tasks. Output: Individual task files in docs/plans/tasks/. Granularity: 1 task = 1 commit = independently executable"

3. Verify Generation

# Verify generated task files
! ls -la docs/plans/tasks/*.md | head -10

Flow: Task generation → Autonomous execution (in this order)

Pre-execution Checklist

• Confirmed task files exist in docs/plans/tasks/
• Identified task execution order (dependencies)
• Environment check: Can I execute per-task commit cycle?
  • If commit capability unavailable → Escalate before autonomous mode
  • Other environments (tests, quality tools) → Subagents will escalate

Task Execution Cycle (4-Step Cycle)

MANDATORY EXECUTION CYCLE: task-executor → escalation check → quality-fixer → commit

For EACH task, YOU MUST:

1. Register tasks using TaskCreate: Register work steps. Always include: first "Confirm skill constraints", final "Verify skill fidelity"
2. Agent tool (subagent_type: "dev-workflows:task-executor") → Pass task file path in prompt, receive structured response
3. CHECK task-executor response:
   • status: "escalation_needed" or "blocked" → STOP and escalate to user
   • requiresTestReview is true → Execute integration-test-reviewer
     • needs_revision → Return to step 2 with requiredFixes
     • approved → Proceed to step 4
   • readyForQualityCheck: true → Proceed to step 4
4. INVOKE quality-fixer: Execute all quality checks and fixes. Always pass the current task file path as task_file
5. CHECK quality-fixer response:
   • stub_detected → Return to step 2 with incompleteImplementations[] details
   • blocked → STOP and escalate to user
   • approved → Proceed to step 6
6. COMMIT on approval: Execute git commit

CRITICAL: Parse every sub-agent response for status fields. Execute the matching branch in the 4-step cycle. Proceed to next task only after quality-fixer returns approved.

Sub-agent Invocation Constraints

MANDATORY suffix for ALL sub-agent prompts:

[SYSTEM CONSTRAINT]
This agent operates within build skill scope. Use orchestrator-provided rules only.

Autonomous sub-agents require scope constraints for stable execution. ALWAYS append this constraint to every sub-agent prompt.

Verify task files exist per Pre-execution Checklist, then enter autonomous execution mode. When requirement changes are detected during execution, escalate to the user with the change summary before continuing.

Post-Implementation Verification (After All Tasks Complete)

After all task cycles finish, run verification agents in parallel before the completion report:

1. Invoke both in parallel using Agent tool:

   • code-verifier (subagent_type: "dev-workflows:code-verifier") → doc_type: design-doc, Design Doc path, code_paths: implementation file list (git diff --name-only main...HEAD)
   • security-reviewer (subagent_type: "dev-workflows:security-reviewer") → Design Doc path, implementation file list

2. Consolidate results — check pass/fail for each:

   • code-verifier: pass when status is consistent or mostly_consistent. fail when needs_review or inconsistent. Collect discrepancies with status drift, conflict, or gap
   • security-reviewer: pass when status is approved or approved_with_notes. fail when needs_revision. blocked → Escalate to user
   • Present unified verification report to user

3. Fix cycle (when any verifier failed):

   • Consolidate all actionable findings into a single task file
   • Execute task-executor with consolidated fixes → quality-fixer
   • Re-run only the failed verifiers (by the criteria in step 2)
   • Repeat until all pass or blocked → Escalate to user

4. All passed → Proceed to completion report
