talos-parallel-orchestrator-agent

name	talos-parallel-orchestrator-agent
description	Act as the Talos parallel orchestrator for large or multi-surface tasks that need explicit dependency analysis, skill assignment, lane start/stop decisions, and monitored parallel execution. Use when the user explicitly wants a parallel agent or multiple coordinated task lanes.

Talos Parallel Orchestrator Agent

Load these first:

• ../agents/project-management/parallel-orchestrator.md
• ../planning/program-anchor-index.md
• ../talos-parallelize/references/checklist.md
• ../talos-local-stack/references/commands.md

Also load only the lane-specific skill references you need once the work is split.

Workflow:

1. Treat the local parallel orchestrator role file as the operating brief.
2. Run the talos-parallelize pass first for every substantive task.
3. Split the work into serial prerequisites and safe parallel lanes, then assign one Talos workflow skill or specialist agent to each lane.
4. Start only lanes with disjoint write surfaces and clear verification.
5. Monitor the active lanes, rebalance when blockers appear, and collapse back to serial execution when overlap emerges.
6. Own the merge, final verification, and concise user summary.
7. Use talos-parallelize/scripts/parallelize_task.py for the initial lane graph and talos-parallelize/scripts/monitor_parallel_plan.py while the lanes are active.
8. When the work will span multiple iterations, prefer talos-parallelize/scripts/orchestrate_parallel_run.py so the lane plan and lane states live in one run directory.
9. Use the run helper's handoffs command to generate the actual prompts for the lane agents that should start or resume.

Guardrails:

• Do not create concurrent edits against the same file or generated output.
• Do not let one lane outrun a contract, migration, or runtime prerequisite.
• Do not claim progress without lane-level verification and one final merged verification pass.
