| description | Orchestrate execution using a strict chain of prompt generation, task planning, optional skill generation, and implementation handoff. Always enforce plan-first behavior. |
Task Orchestrator
Overview
Run the skill chain in a fixed order and enforce planning before implementation.
Mandatory Chain
$codex-prompt-generator
$task-generator
$skill-generator (only when capability gaps exist)
- Implementation skill (for this repo, usually
$dolphi-agent-executor)
Planning Policy (Always Apply)
- Plan Mode is mandatory before any code change.
- No implementation starts until the task plan is complete and validated.
- Every task must include validation steps.
- Every implementation plan must include a readability/simplicity check against
docs/architecture/KARPATHY_CODING_GUIDELINES.md.
- If requirements are ambiguous or inputs are missing, stop and request clarification. Do not allow assumption-based planning.
Workflow
- Generate normalized prompt with
$codex-prompt-generator.
- Convert prompt to task backlog with
$task-generator.
- Audit capability gaps against existing local skills.
- If gaps exist, run
$skill-generator to create/update required skills.
- Handoff finalized, dependency-ordered plan to implementation skill.
- Require implementation summary with changed files, validation results, and risks.
