Orchestrate the implement-review loop for Spec Kitty work packages using any configured agent. Covers agent dispatch, state transitions, rejection cycles, arbiter escalation, and dependency-aware sequencing across all 13 supported coding agents. Triggers: "implement and review WPs", "run the implement-review loop", "orchestrate WP implementation", "dispatch agents for WPs", "coordinate implement and review", "sprint through WPs". Does NOT handle: specify/plan/tasks phases, setup or repair, glossary maintenance, or direct code editing by the orchestrator.
Run charter interview, generation, context, and sync workflows for project governance in Spec Kitty 3.x. Access doctrine artifacts programmatically via DoctrineService. Resolve agent profiles. Load action-scoped governance context iteratively, not all at once. Triggers: "interview for charter", "generate charter", "sync charter", "use doctrine", "set up governance", "charter status", "extract governance config", "load doctrine", "agent profile", "DoctrineService", "action index". Does NOT handle: generic spec writing not tied to governance, direct runtime loop advancement, setup/repair diagnostics, or editorial glossary maintenance.
Understand how Spec Kitty missions work: the 4 built-in mission types, how they define workflows via step contracts and action indices, how missions and work packages relate, how templates are resolved through the 5-tier chain, and how doctrine artifacts (procedures, tactics, directives) compose mission behavior. Triggers: "what missions are available", "how do missions work", "which mission should I use", "explain the mission system", "what is a mission", "change the mission", "mission templates", "step contracts", "action index", "mission procedures". Does NOT handle: runtime loop advancement (use runtime-next), setup or repair (use setup-doctor), governance (use charter-doctrine), or glossary curation (use glossary-context).
Orchestrate a multi-repo, multi-mission Spec Kitty program end-to-end: run specify โ plan โ tasks โ implement โ review โ merge โ mission-review โ post-merge fixes across several repositories in a defined dependency order, using background sub-agents for parallel work and a pulse-heartbeat safety net for long uninterrupted runs. Triggers: "ship this program across N repos", "orchestrate a cross-repo release", "run the full mission workflow on repos A/B/C in program order", "drive Decision Moment V1 across all repos", "multi-repo spec-kitty sprint". Does NOT handle: single-mission implement-review loop (use spec-kitty-implement-review), post-merge mission audit (use spec-kitty-mission-review), setup or repair (use spec-kitty-setup-doctor), per-WP review (use spec-kitty-runtime-review).
Teach agents and external systems how to use spec-kitty orchestrator-api to drive workflows from outside the host CLI. Triggers: "use orchestrator-api", "build a custom orchestrator", "automate externally", "integrate CI with spec-kitty", "call spec-kitty from another tool", "orchestrator contract", "external automation". Does NOT handle: host-internal lane mutation (use the host CLI directly), runtime loop advancement (use spec-kitty next), mission sequencing logic (the mission state machine owns that), or setup/repair diagnostics.
Understand how Spec Kitty manages git: what git operations Python handles automatically, what agents must do manually, worktree lifecycle, auto-commit behavior, merge execution, and the safe-commit pattern. Triggers: "how does spec-kitty use git", "worktree management", "auto-commit", "who commits what", "git workflow", "merge workflow", "rebase WPs", "worktree cleanup", "safe commit". Does NOT handle: runtime loop advancement (use runtime-next), setup or repair (use setup-doctor), mission selection (use mission-system).

Use this skill when a mission is in implementation/review lanes or the user wants the agent to coordinate implementers and reviewers.
spk-run-next to identify the active WP and lane.spk-run-review-wp.move-task --to for_review runs the pre-review regression gate
synchronously as part of the transition (#2570/#2493/#2555): it derives the
affected test scope for the Mission's changed files and runs it at head
before the command returns. That scoped run is a real subprocess and can
take from seconds to a few minutes depending on scope size.
move-task --to for_review command as still in
flight until it exits, not as a fire-and-forget hand-back. Do not assume
control returns immediately, and do not kill or retry the command while it
is still running.--skip-pre-review-gate.
To disable it process-wide, set SPEC_KITTY_SYNC_DISABLE or
SPEC_KITTY_SYNC_MINIMAL_IMPORT (the gate reuses the sync layer's
existing disable toggles rather than adding a third env var). Either
opt-out skips the gate before it resolves a workspace or spawns the
subprocess.for_review transition
should first check whether the gate's scoped test subprocess is still
running before treating the sub-agent as stuck.For detailed orchestration mechanics, use spec-kitty-implement-review when
available.
