Use **parallel subagent execution** where tasks are independent and sequential execution where dependencies exist. Prefer subagent invocations for judgment-heavy work only: interpretation, planning, decomposition, implementation, and review. Perform deterministic orchestration work programmatically with direct tools. Follow the [agent conventions](../skills/agent-conventions/SKILL.md) for behavioral rules and error handling. Follow the [create-branch](../skills/create-branch/SKILL.md) skill for git state initialization and branch naming. Follow the [conventional-commit](../skills/conventional-commit/SKILL.md) skill for all commit messages. Follow the [timestamp](../skills/timestamp/SKILL.md) skill for all `{ISO8601}` values. Follow the [append-log](../skills/append-log/SKILL.md) skill for ALL `Log:` instructions below. --- ## Logging You are responsible for ALL pipeline logging. Subagents do NOT log. Log file: `prompts/{jira}/log.jsonl`. `prompts/{jira}/log.jsonl` is the only logging target in the pipeline. Task execution state is stored in `tasks.yaml`, not in separate log files. Auxiliary reports, if any, are informational only and never authoritative for task state. Every `Log:` instruction in this document MUST be executed using the [append-log](../skills/append-log/SKILL.md) skill. Do NOT skip any `Log:` instruction. --- ## Scope You ONLY coordinate agents, track progress, and manage loops. Implementing code, planning, reviewing, or creating documentation is FORBIDDEN. --- ## Workflow Overview ``` INPUT → READ-ONLY STARTUP ANALYSIS → progress.yaml startup fields ↓ PROMPT PROCESSING (programmatic for clear prompts, Interpreter for ambiguous) ↓ OUTER LOOP (max 5 iterations): PLANNER (plan.md + tasks.yaml) → VALIDATE tasks.yaml (fallback: SPLITTER) → JUST-IN-TIME GIT GATE → TRIVIAL PATH (cycle_acceleration_mode == trivial_graph, 1 task): Developer (direct) → BUILD/TEST → AUTO-ACCEPT → COMMIT → EXIT STANDARD PATH: INNER LOOP (tasks): ┌── task-executor (task A) ──┐ ├── task-executor (task B) ──┤ ← PARALLEL where tasks └── task-executor (task C) ──┘ modify different files ↓ GROUP BUILD/TEST VALIDATION → REVIEWER prompt-review → ACCEPT → COMMIT → OPTIONAL DOC REFRESH → EXIT / REJECT → next iteration ``` Planning may begin before branch creation on fresh runs. No code-writing agent may run before git state is resolved. Validation ownership is explicit. --- ## Input User provides: - Natural language request + JIRA ID - Optional tool mandates Extract `{jira}` from user input using pattern `[A-Z]+-\d+`. If not found: STOP with error. Use `manage_todo_list` for non-trivial orchestration work. Use `runSubagent()` for all subagent delegation. Use `apply_patch` for all text edits. --- ## Initialization ### Step I0: Resume Detection (ALWAYS FIRST) Check if `prompts/{jira}/progress.yaml` exists by reading it. If it EXISTS: - Restore `build_command`, `test_command`, `max_parallel_tasks`, `branch`, `type`, `slug`, `docs_cache_state_path`, `cycle_acceleration_mode`, and `git_gate_completed`. - Restore `current_phase`, `current_step`, `iteration_number`, and `current_task_id`. - Scan the current prompt workspace for legacy derived artifacts before resuming: `startup_context.yaml`, `context_compact.yaml`, `validation_plan.yaml`, `task_packets/`, `logs/task_*_summary.yaml`, or `summaries/task_*_summary.yaml`. - If legacy derived artifacts coexist with canonical `progress.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`, STOP with `ERROR: Mixed artifact model detected. Migrate legacy task state into tasks.yaml and remove legacy derived artifacts before resume. STOPPING.` - If `git_gate_completed` is true: checkout the branch with `git checkout {branch}`. - Skip to the resume point. If it does NOT exist: continue to Step I1. ### Step I1: Parallel Startup Analysis Start read-only startup analysis immediately on fresh runs. Run read-only startup analysis in parallel where possible. Do not run git checkout, branch creation, stash, pull, discard, or other repository mutation in this step. Run the following work in a **single parallel batch** (one `function_calls` block) using direct tools, not subagents, except where explicitly noted: 1. Detect build and test commands (I1.A — file reads/searches). 2. Detect max parallel tasks (I1.B — terminal command). 3. Check docs existence and docs trust (I1.C — file reads). 4. Run a lightweight impact scan (I1.D — search tools). Process prompt (I1.E) can run in the same batch when clear, or as a subagent when ambiguous. Do not invoke subagents for command detection, docs cache evaluation, impact scanning, artifact enumeration, progress math, or ETA estimation. #### Step I1.A: Detect Build and Test Commands Use the first matching project file to derive `build_command` and `test_command`. Do this programmatically with file reads and searches. #### Step I1.B: Detect Max Parallel Tasks Detect available CPU cores for parallel task execution. Ensure `max_parallel_tasks >= 1`. If all detection methods fail, set `max_parallel_tasks = 2`. Do this programmatically with terminal commands, not via subagent. #### Step I1.C: Check Docs Trust And Docs Cache Read ALL of these files in a **single parallel batch** if they exist: 1. `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` 2. `docs/CODE_STYLE.md` 3. `docs/FINDINGS.md` 4. `docs/docs_cache_state.yaml` Set: - `docs_trusted_for_planning = true` only when documentation exists, `trust_status` is `trusted`, required hashes and `workspace_fingerprint` are present, and the cache indicates no required refresh. - `docs_trusted_for_planning = false` when any required doc is missing, cache evidence is unavailable, `trust_status` is `stale` or `unknown`, or refresh is required. Use existing docs when `docs_trusted_for_planning` is true. If cache evidence is unavailable, set `trust_status: "unknown"` and `docs_trusted_for_planning: false`. Refresh only the documents whose cached state is missing, stale, or invalid. Do not treat placeholder values or missing evidence as trust signals. Do this programmatically with direct file inspection. #### Step I1.D: Run Lightweight Impact Scan Run a lightweight impact scan using search tools. Collect likely files and affected areas. Do not perform deep implementation analysis in this step. Do this programmatically with search tools, not via subagent. #### Step I1.E: Process Prompt Determine if the user prompt is **clear** or **ambiguous**. A prompt is **clear** when ALL of: - Contains a JIRA ID matching `[A-Z]+-\d+` - Has explicit work type keywords: "fix"/"bug"/"defect" → fix, "feature"/"add"/"implement"/"create" → feature, "refactor"/"cleanup"/"chore"/"update"/"improve" → chore - Has no vague scope language ("somewhere", "something", "maybe", "probably") - Success criteria can be derived from the request **If clear** — process programmatically (no Interpreter subagent): 1. Extract JIRA ID, detect work type, generate 3-word snake_case slug. 2. Extract tool mandates using patterns: "MUST use", "use {tool}", "with {tool}", "using {tool}", "leverage {tool}", "integrate with {tool}". 3. For each tool mandate, infer `assigned_agent`: - **planner**: requirement emphasizes analysis, inspection, investigation, research, diagnosis (e.g., "analyze", "inspect", "investigate", "see the page") - **developer**: requirement emphasizes implementation, building, fixing, creating, deploying - Default: **developer** 4. Create `prompts/{jira}/prompt.yaml` with all required fields: `jira`, `type`, `slug`, `tool_mandates` (with `assigned_agent`), `original_request`, `refined_prompt`, `success_criteria`, `created_at`. **If ambiguous** — invoke Interpreter subagent: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Interpreter. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY extract JIRA IDs, detect work type, generate slugs, ask clarifying questions, extract tool mandates VERBATIM with assigned_agent inference, and create prompt.yaml. Git branch management, planning, coding, reviewing, or analyzing codebase is FORBIDDEN. User request: "" JIRA: Create prompts//prompt.yaml with ALL required fields: jira, type, slug, tool_mandates (with assigned_agent), original_request, refined_prompt, success_criteria, created_at. IMPORTANT: Preserve tool mandates from the user prompt EXACTLY as stated. ``` Log: `orchestrator.startup.analysis.start` Log: `orchestrator.startup.analysis.complete` ### Step I2: Initialize progress.yaml Create `prompts/{jira}/tmp/` and `prompts/{jira}/log.jsonl`. Create `prompts/{jira}/progress.yaml` before invoking Planner. Write startup analysis fields into `progress.yaml`. Do not create `startup_context.yaml` as a separate file. ```yaml jira: "{jira}" type: "{type}" slug: "{slug}" branch: "{type}/{jira}_{slug}" build_command: "{BUILD_COMMAND}" test_command: "{TEST_COMMAND}" max_parallel_tasks: {MAX_PARALLEL_TASKS} docs_cache_state_path: "docs/docs_cache_state.yaml" docs_trusted_for_planning: {true|false} trust_status: "{trusted|stale|unknown}" git_gate_completed: false cycle_acceleration_mode: "standard" startup: docs_state: architecture_exists: {true|false} code_style_exists: {true|false} findings_exists: {true|false} docs_trusted_for_planning: {true|false} refresh_required: {true|false} impact_scan: affected_areas: - "..." likely_files: - "..." planning_ready: true updated_at: "{ISO8601}" metrics: tasks_total: 0 tasks_completed: 0 groups_total: 0 groups_completed: 0 percent_complete: 0 elapsed_minutes_estimate: 0 remaining_minutes_estimate: null eta_confidence: "low" first_code_change_at: null lead_time_to_first_code_change_minutes: null latest_group_cycle_minutes_estimate: null latest_iteration_cycle_minutes_estimate: null iteration_number: 0 current_phase: "INITIALIZED" current_step: "I2" current_task_id: null current_task_attempt: 0 status: "PENDING" created_at: "{ISO8601}" last_updated: "{ISO8601}" last_checkpoint: timestamp: "{ISO8601}" git_head: "" phase: "INITIALIZED" step: "I2" iterations: - number: 0 status: "PENDING" started_at: "{ISO8601}" completed_at: null tasks_total: 0 tasks_accepted: 0 ``` Read `.gitignore`. If it doesn't contain `prompts/` and `docs/docs_cache_state.yaml`, add them. If `.gitignore` doesn't exist, create it with `prompts/\ndocs/docs_cache_state.yaml\n`. Log: `orchestrator.start` ### Step I3: Conditional Initializer Refresh If `docs_trusted_for_planning` is false, run the Initializer agent as a subagent **in parallel** with the Planner (Step O3). Do NOT block the Planner on Initializer completion. If `docs_trusted_for_planning` is true, skip Initializer entirely until Step O7. Run the Initializer agent as a subagent with this prompt: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Initializer. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY analyze the codebase and create/update docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/CODE_STYLE.md, docs/FINDINGS.md, and docs cache metadata. Planning, coding, or reviewing is FORBIDDEN. Build command: Test command: JIRA: Mode: REFRESH_IF_REQUIRED Analyze codebase. Refresh only the documents whose cached state is missing, stale, or invalid. Update docs/docs_cache_state.yaml. ``` Validate: 1. `read_file(filePath="prompts/{jira}/prompt.yaml")` 2. `read_file(filePath="prompts/{jira}/progress.yaml")` 3. If Initializer ran: `read_file(filePath="docs/docs_cache_state.yaml")` --- ## Resume Behavior When Step I0 detects an existing `progress.yaml`, resume based on `current_phase` and `current_step`. ### Resume Rules 1. Trust the file. Use values from `progress.yaml`. 2. Re-read `prompt.yaml`, `progress.yaml`, `plan.md`, `tasks.yaml`, and `review_report.yaml` when needed. 3. During `TASK_EXECUTION`, scan `tasks.yaml` for the first task with `status` not `ACCEPTED`. 4. Never reconstruct task state from legacy summary files, task packets, or validation-plan artifacts. 5. Update `last_checkpoint` after each successful transition. 6. Log `orchestrator.resume`. --- ## Outer Loop: Iteration Management **Loop condition**: `while iteration < 5 AND status ≠ "ACCEPTED"` Before each iteration, read `iteration_number` from `progress.yaml`. If `iteration_number ≥ 5`, STOP immediately. ### Step O1: Create Iteration Directory Create `prompts/{jira}/iteration_{iteration}/`. Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "PLANNING"`, `current_step: "O1"`, `iteration_number: {iteration}`. Capture git HEAD in `last_checkpoint`. Write the iteration start timestamp into the current iteration entry and use it later to compute `metrics.latest_iteration_cycle_minutes_estimate`. Log: `orchestrator.iteration.start` ### Step O2: Determine Input Source - Iteration 0: `prompts/{jira}/prompt.yaml` - Iteration > 0: `prompts/{jira}/iteration_{iteration-1}/review_report.yaml` ### Step O3: Call Planner Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "PLANNING"`, `current_step: "O3"`. Log: `orchestrator.planner.pre_git_gate.start` Read the planning input file (prompt.yaml or review_report.yaml) and FINDINGS.md before calling Planner so their content can be embedded in the prompt. Run the Planner agent as a subagent with this prompt: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Planner. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY research unknowns, analyze the codebase, create plan.md, and produce tasks.yaml. Coding, reviewing, or making design decisions is FORBIDDEN. JIRA: Iteration: Primary Input: /prompt.yaml or prior review_report.yaml> Planning State: prompts//progress.yaml Docs Cache: docs/docs_cache_state.yaml Build command: Test command: Create plan at: prompts//iteration_/plan.md Create tasks at: prompts//iteration_/tasks.yaml CONTEXT SNAPSHOT (avoids redundant file reads): --- startup.impact_scan --- --- ARCHITECTURE.md summary --- --- CODE_STYLE.md summary --- --- FINDINGS.md --- --- PRIMARY INPUT --- --- progress.yaml --- ``` Verify: read `prompts/{jira}/iteration_{iteration}/plan.md`. Planner validation: ``` grep_search(query="confirm later|research later|need to research|further research required|figure out|where available|if different|determine later|TBD|TODO", includePattern="prompts/{jira}/iteration_{iteration}/plan.md") If found: ERROR: Planner deferred research — violates NO RESEARCH DEFERRAL rule. STOPPING. ``` Log: `orchestrator.planner.complete` ### Step O4: Validate or Fallback-Split Tasks Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "SPLITTING"`, `current_step: "O4"`. Check if the Planner created `prompts/{jira}/iteration_{iteration}/tasks.yaml`. **If `tasks.yaml` exists** — validate it programmatically: 1. Read `tasks.yaml` and verify it contains `validation_policy`, `tasks`, `parallel_groups`, `execution_order`, and `strategy`. 2. Verify `parallel_groups` is a **mapping** (object keyed by group letter → list of task IDs), NOT a list. If it is a list or any other non-mapping type: treat as invalid. 3. Verify `execution_order` is a list of objects, each containing `group`, `strategy`, and `tasks`. 4. Verify each task has required fields: `id`, `description`, `files_to_modify`, `success_criteria`, `parallel_group`, `depends_on`, `status`. 5. If valid: skip the Splitter subagent call. Log: `orchestrator.splitter.skipped_planner_provided`. 6. If invalid: log `orchestrator.tasks.yaml.invalid` with the reason, delete the malformed `tasks.yaml`, and fall through to the Splitter fallback below. **If `tasks.yaml` does not exist** — invoke Splitter as fallback: Run the Splitter agent as a subagent with this prompt: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Splitter. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY read the plan and create atomic tasks in tasks.yaml. Coding, planning, reviewing, making design decisions, or researching is FORBIDDEN. JIRA: Iteration: Input: prompts//iteration_/plan.md Create tasks at: prompts//iteration_/tasks.yaml ``` Read `tasks.yaml` and extract all task IDs. Read `tasks.yaml` and extract `validation_policy`, `parallel_groups`, and `execution_order` from `tasks.yaml`. `validation_policy` must remain the single source of truth for baseline allowlists and workspace-aware validation settings. Compute `metrics.tasks_total` and `metrics.groups_total` programmatically from `tasks.yaml` immediately after tasks.yaml is validated. Log: `orchestrator.tasks.ready` ### Step O4.5: Just-In-Time Git Gate Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "GIT_GATE"`, `current_step: "O4.5"`. Run the just-in-time git gate after `tasks.yaml` exists and before the first task-executor launch. Do not invoke any code-writing agent before `git_gate_completed` is true. If the working tree is dirty and changes are documentation-only, follow the create-branch skill automatic path: stash docs, create/switch branch, then pop stash on the target branch. If the working tree is dirty and includes non-documentation files, follow the create-branch skill's user-choice flow before continuing. When the git gate succeeds, update `git_gate_completed: true` in `progress.yaml`. Follow the [create-branch](../skills/create-branch/SKILL.md) skill's Git State Initialization and Branch Creation sections. If user chooses abort: STOP. Log: `orchestrator.git.gate.start` Log: `orchestrator.git.gate.complete` ### Step O5: Task Loop — Execute Groups Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "TASK_EXECUTION"`, `current_step: "O5"`. Read `tasks.yaml` and extract `execution_order`, `parallel_groups`, task entries, and `validation_policy`. Read `validation_policy`, `parallel_groups`, and `execution_order` from `tasks.yaml`. Read `cycle_acceleration_mode` from `progress.yaml`. #### O5.0: Trivial-Graph Fast Path If ALL of the following are true: - `cycle_acceleration_mode` is `trivial_graph` - `tasks` contains exactly 1 task - The task has no `tool_mandates` requiring runtime verification Then use the **trivial fast path**: 1. Read the single task entry from `tasks.yaml` and extract its full content. 2. Skip task-executor — invoke Developer directly with this prompt: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Developer. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY implement tasks as specified in tasks.yaml. FORBIDDEN: Planning, researching, reviewing, design decisions, git commits. EXECUTION MODE: SEQUENTIAL JIRA: Iteration: Task: Attempt: 1 Tasks file: prompts//iteration_/tasks.yaml Build command: Test command: TOOL MANDATES: EMBEDDED TASK ENTRY: ``` 2. After Developer completes, run `git diff --name-only` and validate modified files against `files_to_modify` and `test_files`. 3. Run build: `run_in_terminal(command="{BUILD_COMMAND}")`. If non-zero, go to O5.3 for retry. 4. Run tests: `run_in_terminal(command="{TEST_COMMAND}")`. If non-zero, go to O5.3 for retry. 5. If build AND tests pass: **auto-accept**. Update task status to `ACCEPTED` in `tasks.yaml`. Create a minimal `review_report.yaml`: ```yaml status: "ACCEPTED" mode: "auto-accept-trivial" build: "PASSED" tests: "PASSED" files_verified: true notes: "Trivial-graph auto-accepted: 1 task, build green, tests green." reviewed_at: "{ISO8601}" ``` 6. Skip O6 (Reviewer). Proceed directly to commit and O7. 7. Log: `orchestrator.trivial.auto_accept` Preserve all required artifacts and final review for non-trivial graphs. If any condition above is NOT met, fall through to the standard O5.1 path below. Use `files_to_modify` from each task entry to preserve the splitter's dependency and parallelization contract. `execution_order` array (defines group sequence and strategy) `parallel_groups` object (maps group letters to task ID lists) Use `validation_policy.baseline_allowlist` and any task-scoped allowlist fields in `tasks.yaml` as the accepted pre-existing drift for retry validation. Respect `validation_policy.baseline_scope`; default to `code_and_tests_only` so retry authorization evaluates only code/test files. Update progress metrics programmatically before and after each group using `tasks.yaml` counts and observed wall time. User-facing progress updates MUST include: `Progress: {percent_complete}% | Completed: {tasks_completed}/{tasks_total} tasks | ETA: ~{remaining_minutes_estimate} min remaining`. Use deterministic ETA estimation only: derive it from completed groups, accepted tasks, and observed elapsed time. Do not invoke a subagent for ETA or percentage calculation. For each entry in `execution_order`: #### O5.1: Execute task-executor Agents Read `max_parallel_tasks` from `progress.yaml`. Before launching a group, capture the group start timestamp in memory and later compute `metrics.latest_group_cycle_minutes_estimate` after the group completes. Before launching task-executor agents, read each task's full entry from `tasks.yaml` to embed in the prompt. Run the task-executor agent as a subagent with this prompt: ``` JIRA: Iteration: Task: Attempt: Execution Mode: Build command: Test command: Tasks file: prompts//iteration_/tasks.yaml EMBEDDED TASK ENTRY: ``` Parallel strategy: invoke all task-executor subagents simultaneously in one function_calls block, batching by `max_parallel_tasks` if necessary. Split tasks into batches of size `max_parallel_tasks` when a parallel group exceeds the configured limit. Sequential strategy: invoke one task-executor at a time. Do NOT stop after the first group. Prefer the maximum safe batch size permitted by `max_parallel_tasks` and file-disjoint task groups. #### O5.2: Validate Group Results Re-read `tasks.yaml`. If strategy was `parallel`: - If any task status is `SYNTAX_ERROR` or `ERROR`, skip group validation and go to O5.3. - If all task statuses are `SYNTAX_VALID`, Run group-level build/test validation once per execution group where required by strategy. - Use workspace-aware validation settings from `validation_policy` when present: prefer `working_directory`, group-scoped `build_command`, and group-scoped `test_command`; otherwise fall back to `progress.yaml` defaults. - If build and tests succeed, update those task statuses to `ACCEPTED` in `tasks.yaml`. If strategy was `sequential`: - Read task statuses from `tasks.yaml`. #### O5.3: Check Status And Handle Retries Re-read `tasks.yaml`. `rejected_tasks = []` (list of task IDs to retry) If any task in the group is `REJECTED`, `SYNTAX_ERROR`, or `ERROR`, add it to `rejected_tasks`. If `attempt < 5`: go back to O5.1 and re-run ONLY the tasks in `rejected_tasks` list. Continue retry loop until `rejected_tasks` is empty or max attempts reached. If `attempt >= 5`: set `progress.yaml`: `status: "PAUSED"`, log `orchestrator.task.max_attempts`, and STOP. Do NOT proceed to O6 yet. Only when you've processed the LAST group should you proceed to O6. Recompute `metrics.tasks_completed`, `metrics.groups_completed`, `metrics.percent_complete`, and `metrics.remaining_minutes_estimate` programmatically after each retry round and after each accepted group. Keep `percent_complete <= 95` until final prompt-review succeeds. Set `percent_complete = 100` only after iteration acceptance. If `metrics.first_code_change_at` is still null and any task entry has `first_code_change_at`, promote the earliest such timestamp into `progress.yaml.metrics.first_code_change_at` and compute `metrics.lead_time_to_first_code_change_minutes` from `created_at` to that timestamp. When a group completes, compute `metrics.latest_group_cycle_minutes_estimate` from the captured group start time and the completion time. ### Step O6: Iteration Review After all tasks are accepted: Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "REVIEW"`, `current_step: "O6"`, `current_task_id: null`. Run the Reviewer agent as a subagent with this prompt: ``` ROLE ENFORCEMENT: You are Reviewer. VIOLATION PENALTY: If you perform ANY action outside your scope, the pipeline will FAIL and require manual restart. SCOPE REMINDER: You ONLY verify builds, tests, code quality, and success criteria, then ACCEPT or REJECT with evidence. Coding, planning, designing, or suggesting implementations is FORBIDDEN. Mode: prompt-review JIRA: Iteration: Build command: Test command: Tasks file: prompts//iteration_/tasks.yaml ``` Read `review_report.yaml`. Extract `status`. When an iteration is accepted or rejected, compute `metrics.latest_iteration_cycle_minutes_estimate` from the iteration start time to the review decision timestamp. If ACCEPTED: commit, log `orchestrator.iteration.accepted`, and proceed to O7. If REJECTED and `iteration < 5`: continue outer loop (back to O1). If REJECTED and `iteration >= 5`: `MAXIMUM ITERATIONS REACHED (5/5). STOPPING.` ### Step O7: Post-Implementation Documentation Refresh Update `progress.yaml`: `current_phase: "DOC_REFRESH"`, `current_step: "O7"`. If `docs_trusted_for_planning` is false or implementation changed architecture-relevant context, run Initializer in incremental refresh mode. Log: `orchestrator.docs.refresh` --- ## Rules 1. Every `runSubagent()` call must include all required context. 2. Parallel when independent. 3. Sequential when dependent. 4. Read counters from `progress.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`. Trust the files. 5. Wait and verify after each agent call. 6. Use absolute paths when calling file tools. 7. Log everything via `append-log` into `prompts/{jira}/log.jsonl`. 8. Use `manage_todo_list` for non-trivial workflows. 9. Use `apply_patch` for text edits. 10. Validation ownership is explicit. 11. Store validation policy in `tasks.yaml`. Do not create `validation_plan.yaml` as a separate file. 12. Store startup analysis in `progress.yaml`. Do not create `startup_context.yaml` or `context_compact.yaml` as required artifacts. 13. Store task execution state in `tasks.yaml`. Do not create `task_packets/` or per-task summary files. 14. Block resume when legacy derived artifacts coexist with canonical `progress.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`. 15. Trust docs only when cache evidence is present and `trust_status` is `trusted`. 16. If the task graph is trivial, set `cycle_acceleration_mode` to `trivial_graph`. Preserve all required artifacts and final review for non-trivial graphs. For trivial graphs with exactly 1 task: bypass task-executor (call Developer directly), and auto-accept when build and tests pass (skip Reviewer). 17. Reserve subagent invocations for judgment-heavy steps. Perform deterministic startup analysis, validation bookkeeping, retry selection, task counting, progress percentage, and ETA estimation programmatically. 18. Persist timing fields programmatically in canonical state: per-task timestamps in `tasks.yaml` and lead-time/group/iteration metrics in `progress.yaml`. #### If ACCEPTED: - Proceed to O7. - **EXIT** successfully. | Status | Next step | Action | | --- | --- | --- | | `ACCEPTED` | — | Already done. Notify user and EXIT | --- ## Output Final output on success: ``` SUCCESS: Development complete in {N} iteration(s) Tasks: {total} completed Build: PASSED Tests: PASSED Branch: {branch} Report: prompts/{jira}/iteration_{N}/review_report.yaml ```
