Multi-Agent Work Coordinator

Parallelize execution without parallelizing accountability. The parent owns the work graph, integration, validation, and final judgment.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill for:

• splitting a mapped feature across independent packages, tests, and documentation;
• coordinating multiple agents while preventing shared-file collisions;
• sequencing migrations or generated outputs through explicit dependency waves;
• auditing a proposed agent plan for overlap, missing acceptance evidence, or unsafe integration.

Do not trigger when:

• repository boundaries and consumers are unknown—run repository-intelligence first;
• one agent can complete the work with less briefing and review overhead;
• tasks require continuous edits to the same files or unresolved product decisions;
• the request is only to choose specialized Mission Control roles—the existing delegate-with-mission-cards skill can dispatch after this skill defines the work graph.

Required inputs

Require:

1. one objective and concrete acceptance criteria;
2. current repository state and an intelligence map or equivalent evidence;
3. candidate work items with likely read/write surfaces;
4. single-owner surfaces, sequence constraints, and integration checks;
5. available agent capabilities and any access restrictions.

If the repository map is stale relative to the working tree, refresh the affected slice before assigning work.

Safety baseline

• Inspect and preserve uncommitted user work.
• Do not use Git cleanup, force operations, destructive migrations, or unreviewed generated output.
• Give every writer an exclusive write scope. “Coordinate later” is not a valid collision strategy.
• Keep lockfiles, schemas, migrations, central registries, generated artifacts, release metadata, and shared configuration under one writer or the parent integrator.
• Agents may read outside their write scope only as stated. They must stop before editing outside it.
• Never accept completion solely from an agent's prose; inspect artifacts and rerun proportionate checks in the integrated state.
