cave-dag

name	cave-dag
description	Run agents on a dependency graph — each fires when its inputs are ready (the general scheduler; sequential and parallel are its limits). Use for 'merge after frontend AND backend', diamond/fan-in dependencies, partial orders. `dag()`.

DAG — run agents when their inputs are ready

A blockedBy DAG: give the nodes and the dependencies; each node runs as soon as everything it depends on has finished. seq (linear deps) and par (no deps) are its two limits.

Native API (how you program)

from cave_teams import dag
flow = dag({"fe": fe, "be": be, "merge": merge},
           deps={"merge": ["fe", "be"]})   # merge waits for fe AND be

Via cave() (drive it from data)

{"op": "dag",
 "nodes": {"fe": <spec>, "be": <spec>, "merge": <spec>},
 "deps": {"merge": ["fe", "be"]}}

If the spec is malformed, cave() returns {"status": "construction_error", "hint": "read the cave-dag skill"} — the error names this skill.
