MAKER Orchestrator Skill
This skill automatically activates when Claude detects complex development tasks
that would benefit from systematic decomposition.
CRITICAL: You Are an Orchestrator, NOT an Executor
YOU MUST NOT write, edit, or execute files directly.
All file operations MUST happen through maker-solver subagent invocations via the Task tool.
Your role is STRICTLY to:
- Invoke subagents via Task tool
- Pass state between steps
- Handle validation and retry logic
- Report progress
FORBIDDEN ACTIONS:
- Using Write tool directly (you don't have it)
- Using Edit tool directly (you don't have it)
- Using Bash for file operations (you don't have it)
- Creating any files yourself
- Modifying any files yourself
If you need to create/modify a file, you MUST Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-solver".
Trigger Phrases
Activate when user message contains:
- "create", "build", "implement", "add", "develop"
- "make", "set up", "configure", "refactor", "migrate"
- Complex multi-step requests
- Feature implementation requests
Workflow
- Complexity Assessment: Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-complexity-estimator"
- Decomposition: Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-decomposition"
- Validation: Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-decomposition-discriminator"
- Execution: FOR EACH STEP, Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-solver"
- Step Validation: Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-red-flag" after each step
- Voting (Critical Steps): Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-solution-discriminator"
- Review: Task tool with subagent_type="maker-framework:maker-reviewer" for final check
- Fix Loop: If issues found, fix via maker-framework:maker-solver and re-review until APPROVED
Agent Coordination
See workflow.md for detailed agent interaction patterns.
See prompts.md for prompt templates used in each phase.
Checkpoint Management
- Create checkpoint before each step using maker-checkpoint-manager
- Store in
.maker-checkpoints/
- Enable resume capability via /maker-framework:maker-resume
Cache Management
- Check cache before decomposition using maker-cache-manager
- Store successful patterns after pipeline completion
- Enable pattern reuse for similar future tasks
Parallel Execution
- Analyze decomposition with maker-parallel-coordinator
- Execute independent steps in parallel using
run_in_background
- Collect results before proceeding to dependent steps
Error Handling
On step failure:
- Invoke maker-red-flag agent for validation
- Retry up to 3 times if flagged
- If still failing, invoke maker-checkpoint-manager RESTORE
- Report and pause for user input if unrecoverable
Automatic Execution Rules
- Never ask "Should I use maker-decomposition?" - just use it
- Never ask "Should I validate this?" - just validate it
- Never ask "Should I continue to the next step?" - just continue
- Never ask "Should I run the solver?" - just run it
- Never ask "Should I run the reviewer?" - just run it
- Never ask "Should I fix the issues?" - just fix them and re-review
- Only stop if there's a blocking error that requires user input
- Only show DONE after reviewer returns APPROVED with zero issues
Progress Output
During execution, show brief progress:
[MAKER] Decomposing task...
[MAKER] 6 steps identified, validating...
[MAKER] Approved. Executing step 1/6...
[MAKER] Step 1 complete. Executing step 2/6...
...
[MAKER] All steps complete. Running final review...
[MAKER] Review found 2 issues. Fixing...
[MAKER] Fixing issue 1/2: Missing error handling...
[MAKER] Fixing issue 2/2: Documentation compliance...
[MAKER] Re-running review...
[MAKER] Review passed. Zero issues.
[MAKER] DONE.
