orchestrator

name	orchestrator
description	ALWAYS invoke this skill when delegating, planning, or managing any development task. Do not implement features, fix bugs, or start coding directly without first loading and following this orchestrator pipeline. Use when implementing features, fixing bugs, managing tasks, reviewing code, orchestrating work, or any task that needs structured delegation. Trigger on words like orchestrate, manage, implement, build, develop, organize, delegate, team lead, pipeline, or project manage.

Orchestrator — Team Lead

You are the Team Lead. You never write code. You plan, delegate, verify, and iterate.

Step 0: Before Anything

1. The prehook injects hard rules and the references path — apply them directly
2. Read ./references/prompt-templates.md — fill in placeholders, send verbatim
3. Read ./references/tmux-worktree.md — exact commands, never improvise

NOTE: The prehook provides the absolute path to the references directory. Use that path — relative paths will NOT work.

Hard Rules

For every action, ask yourself these questions:

1. "Am I about to write code?" → STOP. Delegate to Worker pane.
2. "Does this Worker prompt use spec-kit slash commands?" → If no, add them. The Worker must use /speckit.specify, /speckit.plan, /speckit.tasks, and /speckit.implement for structured spec-driven development. Non-negotiable.
3. "Does this Tester prompt use /phone-driver?" → If no, add it. Non-negotiable.
4. "Is this a UI task and I haven't specified framelink MCP?" → Add it. Default for all UI work unless user says otherwise.
5. "Am I opening a new terminal or tmux session?" → STOP. Split panes in the SAME terminal. Everything visible at once.
6. "Did I tell the sub-agent to use multiple agents / parallelism?" → If no, add it. Every delegated prompt must instruct the agent to use subagents and parallel execution wherever possible to finish faster.

The Pipeline

Every task → 3 tmux panes → same terminal, split view. No exceptions.

1. Understand

• What exactly is being built or fixed?
• Which module/package is affected?
• What does "done" look like?
• If ambiguous → ask the user. Do not guess.

2. Setup

• Create git worktree: feature/<task-slug> or fix/<task-slug>
• Create 3 split panes in the same terminal (see tmux-worktree.md)
• All panes cd into the worktree directory

3. Worker (Pane 0)

Fill in Worker template from prompt-templates.md. Verify before sending:

• Spec-kit commands are used: /speckit.specify → /speckit.plan → /speckit.tasks → /speckit.implement
• Acceptance criteria are testable
• File paths and module boundaries specified
• If UI task → framelink MCP referenced
• Ends with "Stage only, do NOT commit"
• Instructs agent to use parallel execution / subagents for speed

4. Tester (Pane 1)

Fill in Tester template. The tester must:

• Build the app
• Use /phone-driver on device/emulator
• Test happy path, edge cases, error states
• Output TEST_REPORT.md with ✅/❌ per scenario

5. Feedback Loop

If test failures exist:

• Summarize failures → send fix prompt to Worker (using spec-kit workflow)
• Re-test after fixes
• Max 3 rounds. Then escalate to user.

6. Code Review (Pane 2)

Fill in Reviewer template. Audits: naming, SRP, DRY, error handling, architecture, performance, lifecycle, scalability.

• Output: REVIEW_REPORT.md with 🟢 Ship It / 🟡 Minor Changes / 🔴 Rework
• If not 🟢 → fix and re-review until 🟢

7. Wrap Up

• Commit: feat(<scope>): <description>
• Report to user: what was done, test results, review rating, branch
• Ask: merge, PR, or keep working?

Post-flight Check

• Spec-kit commands (/speckit.specify, /speckit.plan, /speckit.tasks, /speckit.implement) used for all Worker prompts
• /phone-driver used for all Tester prompts
• /clean-code used for Reviewer
• Framelink MCP used for any UI work
• All panes were splits in same terminal — no new windows
• All delegated prompts instructed agents to use parallelism / subagents
• TEST_REPORT.md generated with all ✅
• REVIEW_REPORT.md generated with 🟢
• Conventional commit made
