<description_and_purpose>
Problem: Fixed workflows cannot cover the combinatorial space of real requests; orchestrators lock into rigid classification.
Solution: Meta-workflow — construct a bespoke plan from building blocks, review, execute with tracking. Each user turn can extend, adapt, or restart.
If request is trivial / one-liner AND you confirmed it is true (by checking code / instructions fallback to ask user) only then you are allowed to just directly execute it without extra complications of this skill => otherwise you must fully follow this and orchestration skills.
</description_and_purpose>
- large (smart, slow): claude-opus-4-8, gpt-5.3-codex-high, gpt-5.5-high, gpt-5.6-sol-high, gemini-3.1-pro-preview, kimi-k3, glm-5.2
- medium (workhorse): claude-sonnet-5, gpt-5.3-codex-medium, gpt-5.4-medium, gpt-5.6-terra-medium, glm-5, kimi-k2.5, minimax-m2.5, grok-4.5
- small (fast): claude-haiku-4-5, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.6-luna-medium, gemini-3.5-flash
Match to cognitive demand. Match to current tool.
- MUST USE SKILL
orchestration with team management, which is the core mechanism of this workflow.
- Workflow state MUST be saved to
agents/TEMP/<FEATURE>/adhoc-flow-state.md file.
<building_blocks>
Compose any of these (not limited) into plan phases/steps to build any execution workflow:
- discover-research: scan project context and KB; research external knowledge if needed; deliver summarized references
- requirements-capture: reverse-engineer or interrogate requirements; persist intent as source of truth
- reasoning-decomposition: USE SKILL
reasoning (8D) to decompose into sub-problems with decisions and trade-offs
- plan-wbs: USE SKILL
planning to build sequenced WBS
- tech-specs: USE SKILL
tech-specs to generate target technical implementation specs; makes AI to figure out entire solution, instead of discovering something as a surprise
- subagent-delegation: provide role + context/refs; route parallel/sequential; enforce focus — report back if off-plan
- delegate-but-verify: use subagent delegation, but verify both reasoning and results
- critically-review: critically review inputs, outputs, reasoning, completeness, ambiguity, results of user, subagents, tools, scripts, etc.
- execute-track: EXECUTION_CONTROLLER
next → execute → update_status; upsert to adapt mid-execution; loop
- modify-review: modify then review with different agent/model
- review-validate: review (static inspection against intent) + validate (run locally, call/use local, runtime evidence on real tasks)
- memory-learn: root-cause failures → reusable preventive rules → update AGENT MEMORY.md
- hitl-gate: present summary to user; block until explicit approval
- simulate: walk through plan with use cases; verify cognitive load and phase boundaries
- draft-improve: short core draft → improve one non-conflicting aspect at a time
- ralph-loop: execute → review → update task memory with root causes → loop
- use: use existing skills, agents, workflows
- plan-sessions: create plan (one file, with refs to per-session files) and implementation specs for each session for workhorse model (sonnet 5, gpt-5.4, so you need to provide more details) in multiple files in order of execution, so that it can be given one-by-one in different sessions of subagents.
- Do not duplicate: existing files, instructions, protocols => instead use references "file-name:line-ranges".
</building_blocks>
<workflow_phases>
- All Rosetta prep steps MUST be FULLY completed
- MUST USE SKILL
load-project-context, orchestration (with team manager, execution controller is size dependent), hitl
- MUST ALWAYS use todo tasks ledger, ASAP. Phases are sequential. Independent tasks can run in parallel.
- MUST use available MCPs, tools, skills and agents.
- You will FOR SURE run out of LLM context, leading to loss of information, delegate to subagents!
- If
/goal is set repeat phases 4-5 until goal is met.
<build_plan phase="2">
- USE SKILL
reasoning if needed or LARGE.
- Use building block, sequence a plan.
- Upsert.
</build_plan>
<review_plan phase="3" if="MEDIUM, LARGE" subagent="reviewer" role="Plan reviewer of AI automated tasks" subagent_required_model="gpt-5.4-medium, gemini-3.1-pro-preview, claude-sonnet-5, grok-4.5, gpt-5.6-terra" must-be-subagent>
- Review: completeness, sequencing, dependency correctness, prompt clarity, etc.
- Subagent to query by full path to plan.json. Orchestrator to upsert fixes.
- hitl-gate — present summary, block until approved.
</review_plan>
<execute_plan phase="4" loop="true">
- Get next steps.
- Per step: delegate to subagent or execute directly.
- Adapt plan changes.
- Loop until all completed.
</execute_plan>
<review_and_summarize phase="5">
- Final review - validate against original intent.
- Repeat execution if not met original intent.
- Summarize to user if completed.
</review_and_summarize>
</workflow_phases>
<best_practices>
- Short and clear
- Use git worktrees for parallel work
- Use self-learning
- Validate incrementally
- Do not accumulate unverified work
- Prevent scope creep, always pass original intent to subagents
- Keep context lean — delegate to subagents
- Plan is a living artifact
- Provide references, not dumps
- Use subagent to build_plan for MEDIUM/LARGE requests
</best_practices>
- Over-planning SMALL requests
- Context overload: delegate instead
- Parallel work collisions
