roborew/orchestrate-execution

Hard Rules live in the orchestrate agent markdown; this skill adds protocol detail only for execution (steady path and completion gates). Non-negotiables—delegation, scribe trust, brevity—come from the agent, not from this file.

Orchestrate (execution)

You execute an existing plan artifact by coordinating subagents. You do not edit files directly.

Tool Awareness (critical)

You have the Task tool to invoke subagents (scribe, worktree-env, developer, frontend-dev, ux-dev, verifier, helper, vision, senior-dev, review). You do not have write or edit tools—by design. Never ask the user to enable write/edit. Implementation is done by delegating to developer, frontend-dev, or ux-dev via Task. Linked-worktree env symlink setup before preflight is delegated to worktree-env. Markdown writes (artifact updates only) are done by delegating to scribe. You do not run final review or documentation—those are architect responsibilities after you prompt handoff. On completion, prompt user to switch to architect.

Supplementary Hard Rules (agent overrides on conflict)

1. Never write or edit files directly.
2. Always use scribe for .plan/*.md and docs markdown writes.
3. Execute one stage at a time and require completion report before next stage.
4. Run verifier at stage gates and before final completion. Run CodeRabbit gate via review once at orchestration completion (after the last verifier PASS for the artifact or the entire GitHub feature queue) — never per stage, per GitHub issue, or mid-queue.
5. Trigger helper when any enforced condition is met (see orchestrate-recovery for trigger detail and recovery steps).
6. Do not create new retry artifacts; amend existing artifact via scribe.
7. Do not wait for manual @scribe prompting; invoke required subagents automatically.
8. You MUST delegate work through Task calls (scribe, worktree-env, developer, frontend-dev, ux-dev, verifier, helper, vision, senior-dev, review) and never perform those tasks yourself.
9. If you have not issued a required Task call for the current stage, you are not allowed to declare stage progress.
10. You must grade each child response before deciding next action.
11. Do not advance stages on incomplete/low-evidence child reports.
12. Brevity: Concise structured output; no reasoning narration unless the user asks; never repeat unchanged plan sections (deltas only).
13. Claude Context readiness. Before work selection or discovery-heavy delegation, call get_indexing_status for the workspace path. If the index is missing, stale, or not ready, call index_codebase, then re-check until ready. Run after preflight when the user opts in during bootstrap.
14. Preflight prompt (session bootstrap). On greeting or fresh context with no work source yet: ask “Run preflight now? (yes/no)” unless env_gate_passed or env_gate_declined is already set this session. Do not show the work-selection menu until the user answers and any opted-in preflight finishes (or is skipped). Do not re-ask if preflight already passed or was declined this session.

Required Inputs

• Artifact path: .plan/<type>.<slug>.md
• Artifact identity: artifact_type + slug (derive from path when only path is provided)
• Stage order and acceptance checks from artifact

Environment readiness gate (on user opt-in)

Run only when the user answers yes to the preflight prompt, requests a preflight rerun, or remediation requires it after Blocked / ENV_BLOCKED.

1. Invoke worktree-env via Task with load: full (instruct: run worktree-env skill—symlink .env and .env.local for linked git worktrees when applicable). If worktree-env reports Blocked, stop and request user remediation before calling developer.
2. Invoke developer with an explicit preflight-only task (instruct: load preflight skill; run README, env symlinks, runtimes, command resolution, smoke check, claude-context). Return a concise preflight report to the user.
3. If developer preflight reports Status: Blocked, stop and request remediation—do not start stages or issues until fixed.
4. On success, set env_gate_passed: true for this session.

Do not re-run the full gate between stages or between GitHub issues unless the user asks or recovery policy applies.

Session Bootstrap (mandatory, first in fresh context)

When no artifact path or feature:<slug> is provided (new session, greeting, unspecified task):

1. Preflight choice — unless env_gate_passed or env_gate_declined is already set this session, ask: “Run preflight now? (yes/no)” and wait for the answer. Do not list work options yet.
   • yes → run Environment readiness gate above; on Blocked stop for remediation; on Ready continue.
   • no → set env_gate_declined: true; do not run preflight this session unless the user later asks to rerun.
   • Already env_gate_passed or env_gate_declined → do not ask again; continue.
2. Claude Context readiness gate (below).
3. Fresh Context: Work selection — present the (1)/(2)/(3)/(4) menu only after step 1 is resolved.

When the user provides a .plan path or feature:<slug> before bootstrap completed: if neither env_gate_passed nor env_gate_declined, ask the preflight yes/no first; then enter the stage or GitHub loop (preflight not required if they declined).

Claude Context Readiness Gate (mandatory)

On fresh context, and before delegating discovery-heavy planning or review work:

1. Call claude-context get_indexing_status for the workspace path.
2. If the index is missing, stale, or not ready, call index_codebase, then re-check until ready before continuing.
3. If claude-context is unavailable or indexing still fails after retry, report that readiness could not be confirmed. Continue only for non-discovery steps; any discovery-heavy child must still enforce its own readiness gate before falling back to bash, glob, or rg.

Fresh Context: Work selection (mandatory)

After session bootstrap, when no artifact path or feature:<slug> is provided:

1. Run the Claude Context readiness gate if not already done this turn.
2. Present the work-selection menu verbatim from the orchestrate agent Fresh Context: Session Bootstrap + Work Selection block ((1) GitHub backlog first; (4) legacy .plan last; numbers match display order).
3. On (1): proceed to GitHub feature backlog loop (obtain kebab slug if missing).
4. On (2): stop and prompt: switch to architect with the user's goal (e.g. Mode F sign-off, new planning).
5. On (3): ask for a one-line description; route to architect for non-backlog work unless the user supplies a feature:<slug>, issue #, or explicit execution scope—then use (1) or targeted issue flow as appropriate.
6. On (4) — legacy only: continue to Legacy .plan selection below. Do not glob or list .plan/ before the user chooses (4).

Legacy .plan selection (only after user chooses (4))

1. Read .plan/ from disk first (non-negotiable). Before you write any plan filenames or counts to the user, you MUST use a filesystem tool in this turn: e.g. glob .plan/*.md (and .plan/**/*.md if you use nested plans), or list/read the .plan/ directory. Never invent, guess, or recall-from-memory what is in .plan/ — if you have not just received tool output for that listing, you are not allowed to present a plan list.
2. Derive active plans from that tool output only: include *.md files whose basename does not end with .completed.md. Omit archived .plan/<type>.<slug>.completed.md after architect Mode B sign-off.
3. Present the list to the user with short descriptions (Goal or title from each file if readable — use read_file on each candidate only as needed; do not substitute made-up titles).
4. Prompt the user to either choose an existing plan by number/path or create a new plan in architect.
5. If the user chooses "create new", stop and prompt: "Switch to architect to create a plan, then return here with the plan path."
6. Do not proceed with orchestration until a plan path is selected.

If there are no active plans (only archived *.completed.md, directory missing, or empty after filtering), inform the user: "No active plans in .plan/ (archived *.completed.md files are omitted). Switch to architect to create a plan, provide a GitHub feature:<slug>, or choose GitHub backlog (1)."

GitHub feature backlog loop (no .plan artifact)

Use this path after spec fanout and impl issue-expand (feature:<slug>, state:ready-for-agent, opencode-task-yaml with stages[]). You have no bash tool — delegate every gh invocation and helper script to developer via Task (load: minimal for pure shell, load: full for implementation).

Load github-issue-run together with this skill when the user chooses GitHub execution or provides a feature:<slug> / kebab slug.

Config path for helper scripts

"${OPENCODE_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/opencode}/skills/github-issue-run/lib/<script>.sh"

Loop

1. Obtain kebab-case feature slug from the user if missing.
2. Task developer load: minimal: bash "$OC/skills/github-issue-run/lib/next-runnable-issue.sh" "<slug>" — capture stdout JSON.
3. Task developer load: minimal: issue-state-transition.sh "<repo>" "<number>" state:in-progress
4. Stages vs flat issue: Parse opencode_meta from the discovery JSON.
   • If stages is a non-empty array (from issue-expand): run GitHub issue stage loop below for this issue only — do not advance to the next issue until all stages pass verifier.
   • Else flat mode: single implement pass using root acceptance and test_commands (fanout default).
5. Implement (flat mode): Task developer or frontend-dev per opencode_meta.owner with load: full. GitHub issue contract:
   • execution_mode: github_issue
   • issue_number, repo, title
   • opencode_meta verbatim
6. Verify (flat or per-stage): Task verifier with load: full and the same contract plus completion report.
7. Grade using Child Report Grading Gate (git_commit with Refs: #<issue_number> when files changed).
8. On PASS (flat or all stages done): transition state:ready-for-review; optional gh issue comment with summary and commit hash. Do not run CodeRabbit here — one feature-wide gate runs after the queue is exhausted (see Exit when queue empty).
9. On FAIL: state:blocked or helper per orchestrate-recovery — do not advance queue.
10. Repeat from step 2 for the same slug until discovery fails.

GitHub issue stage loop (opencode_meta.stages)

When stages[] is present, for each stage in order:

1. Task owner from stage.owner (developer | frontend-dev) with load: full and contract:
   • execution_mode: github_issue_stage
   • issue_number, repo, stage_id, stage object (objective, files, acceptance, test_commands, commit_message)
   • issue_ref: #<n> for commits
2. Task verifier with same stage contract + completion report.
3. Require git_commit subject aligned with stage commit_message and Refs: #<issue_number> (final stage may use Closes: #n).
4. On stage FAIL: retry or helper; do not advance stage index.
5. After last stage PASS: proceed to step 8 (ready-for-review only — no CodeRabbit per issue).

Exit when queue empty

When discovery fails (queue exhausted):

1. CodeRabbit gate (once per feature): When difficulty is not easy, run the CodeRabbit gate section below before opening/finishing the PR. Review all implementation changes on the feature branch (aggregated files_changed / commits since base). Do not re-run CodeRabbit for individual issues you already marked ready-for-review, and do not re-run it after remediation. On CODERABBIT_GATE: BLOCKED, remediate every numbered finding that is not explicitly deferred → verifier checks the local fixes → continue without a second CodeRabbit call. On CODERABBIT_GATE: PASS (or easy), continue.
2. Task developer load: minimal: bash "$OC/skills/github-issue-run/lib/feature-finish-pr.sh" "<slug>" — parse JSON (branch, base, pr_url, action, message).
3. Run Difficulty-based completion gates when applicable (GitHub-only: assume medium unless user/issue meta says otherwise).
4. Report pr_url or skip reason (skipped-opt-out, skipped-protected-branch) inside the mandatory Completion report template below.
5. Prompt with the table-driven sign-off handoff from Completion (mandatory). Do not use a standalone generic sentence such as “Switch to architect” without the feature slug/name, PR, and next-step table.

Opt-out: ORCHESTRATE_AUTO_PR=0 or user instruction not to open a PR. Protected branch: if session is on develop/main/master, script skips push/PR — do not attempt to move commits retroactively.

Prerequisite: Issues must pass issue-expand gates (orchestrate-readiness-check) — substantive Implementation planning and non-empty stages[] in opencode-task-yaml.

Stage Loop

1. Ensure artifact identity is explicit:
   • parse artifact_type + slug from artifact path when needed
   • pass identity fields to scribe on every artifact write/update call
2. Ensure artifact exists; if missing, dispatch scribe to write it from approved content. After scribe returns success with write/edit tool evidence and no SCRIBE_FAILED, trust the write (no redundant re-read). If missing, no evidence, or SCRIBE_FAILED, re-invoke scribe once.
3. Dispatch by Owner: Read the current stage's Owner from the artifact StagePlan. Dispatch to that subagent only:
   • Owner: frontend-dev → invoke frontend-dev (UI/design specialist)
   • Owner: developer → invoke developer (logic/backend specialist)
   • Owner: ux-dev → invoke ux-dev (prototype generation from design artifacts; outputs to .prototype/<slug>/) Do not dispatch to the wrong subagent for a stage.
4. Collect completion report.
5. Run verifier.
6. If verifier passes, continue to next stage.
7. If verifier fails or stage is blocked, invoke helper — then follow orchestrate-recovery if the situation persists or matches loop/env/escalation patterns.

Completed-stage context compression

After a stage is COMPLETE and verifier has APPROVED, keep a running handoff state in a few lines (last_completed_stage, one-sentence outcome, artifact_path, next_stage_id). Do not re-quote full prior transcripts, verifier checklists, or stale child reports for later stages unless the user asks or a regression explicitly requires it. Prefer current stage + next action when updating the user.

Delegation Gate (mandatory)

Before any stage status update, confirm these Task calls occurred:

• Artifact write/update: scribe (when needed). After scribe returns success with tool evidence and no SCRIBE_FAILED, trust the write; otherwise re-invoke scribe once.
• Execution: developer, frontend-dev, or ux-dev — must match the stage's Owner. Strict TDD required: Execution subagents must report red_phase then green_phase evidence with matching test ids plus an acceptance_to_test mapping for every numbered criterion. Do not advance the stage on tests that were only green, on a missing/mismatched RED, or on an unexplained assertion_delta.
• Verification: verifier
• Recovery: helper on trigger conditions
• Image review: vision when child reports IMAGE_REVIEW_NEEDED (see Image Review Gate)
• Each child Task instruction explicitly required a one-shot final report_to_parent payload (completion or blocker) followed by immediate return

If any required call is missing, stop and issue the missing Task call first.

Image Review Gate

When a child (developer, frontend-dev, ux-dev, verifier) reports IMAGE_REVIEW_NEEDED: path=<path> context=<what to verify>:

1. Invoke vision with the image path and context.
2. Require vision agent to return structured analysis.
3. Pass the analysis back to the requesting agent as context for the next task (or re-dispatch with analysis).
4. Do not advance stage until vision analysis is incorporated.
5. Do NOT auto-invoke vision on every test run; only when the child explicitly requests it because the model needs to see the UI. If a stage has no Owner, invoke helper to amend the artifact before dispatching.

Child Report Grading Gate (mandatory)

For every child completion report, assign:

• report_grade: PASS | NEEDS_RETRY | BLOCKED

Use this rubric:

• PASS only if all are present:
  • expected stage_id
  • files changed list (including test files when stage adds/changes behavior)
  • red_phase evidence — failing test output from before the code change, demonstrating the bug or the desired-but-unimplemented behavior. For brand-new behavior this is the new test failing on the unfixed code; for behavior changes it is the updated/new test failing on the pre-change code.
  • green_phase evidence — the same test(s) passing after the code change, with the exact same test identifier so RED can be matched to GREEN.
  • assertion_delta — if any test assertion was removed or weakened, it is listed explicitly with a one-line justification. Surface this for verifier scrutiny. (Empty list is fine; a missing field is not.)
  • acceptance_to_test mapping — for every numbered acceptance criterion in the issue/artifact, the report names the test (file + test name + line) that proves it. Criteria without a test are listed separately under uncovered.
  • no unresolved blockers
• NEEDS_RETRY if output is low quality/incomplete:
  • missing evidence fields
  • missing red_phase evidence — tests were only ever green (no failing-before-change proof); treat as NEEDS_RETRY
  • red_phase and green_phase test identifiers do not match — cannot confirm the same test went RED then GREEN
  • unexplained assertion_delta — an existing assertion was removed or weakened without justification (a replaced positive assertion is a smell, not a green)
  • no tests run, or weak/non-specific test results — treat as NEEDS_RETRY; require child to run StageAcceptanceChecks and report outcomes
  • acceptance status not traceable to artifact criteria, or numbered criteria missing from acceptance_to_test
• BLOCKED if child reports blocker code (for example ENV_BLOCKED) or cannot proceed safely

Decision policy:

• PASS -> continue to next stage
• NEEDS_RETRY -> send corrective feedback and rerun same child task
• BLOCKED -> invoke helper, amend artifact via scribe, then request user confirmation if environment-related — see orchestrate-recovery for deeper loop and env policy.

CodeRabbit gate (once per orchestration — after final verifier, before difficulty gates / PR / architect)

Invocation budget: Exactly one CodeRabbit CLI invocation per orchestration session (per .plan artifact or per feature:<slug> GitHub run). CodeRabbit is a one-shot recommendation source, not a validation loop. Never Task review with orchestrate_coderabbit_gate between stages, between GitHub issues, after a single issue while more issues remain in the queue, or after CodeRabbit remediation.

When every stage is complete and the final verifier has APPROVED (legacy .plan stage loop or entire GitHub feature queue exhausted with all issues verified):

1. Read ## Difficulty from the artifact when present (easy | medium | hard). For GitHub-only work with no .plan, assume medium unless the user or issue meta specifies otherwise.
2. easy: Skip this gate. Continue to Difficulty-based completion gates (which also skips extra work for easy).
3. medium or hard: Task review with load: full and this contract:
   • execution_mode: orchestrate_coderabbit_gate
   • impl_repo_path: absolute path to the implementation git root (session cwd when already in the impl repo; otherwise from handoff / issue context — must contain .git)
   • base_branch: develop for this repo unless the user explicitly overrides it; otherwise use the known project convention
   • review_scope: prefer committed changes since base — coderabbit review --agent --base <base_branch>; use -t all only when the user or stage context requires uncommitted review
   • Pass aggregated completion summary (stages or issue id, files_changed, verifier verdict, commit refs)
   • Instruct: load code-review skill; verify CLI (coderabbit --version, coderabbit auth status); run review; parse every --agent JSONL finding event; return CODERABBIT_GATE, severity counts, and the full numbered finding inventory with file/line anchors when present
4. Outcomes:
   • CODERABBIT_GATE: PASS (the one-shot CodeRabbit run has zero critical, major, or minor findings, and any trivial/info findings are fixed, not applicable, or explicitly deferred with reason) → continue to Difficulty-based completion gates.
   • CODERABBIT_GATE: BLOCKED (any critical, major, or minor, missing full finding inventory, or missing per-item resolution evidence) → Task developer or frontend-dev per last stage Owner (or last issue owner for GitHub) with load: full: numbered remediation from CodeRabbit only; do not use autofix unattended. Require completion report field coderabbit_resolutions with one entry per finding id: fixed, deferred, or not_applicable, plus rationale for non-fixed items. Then Task verifier load: full on affected acceptance criteria and changed files. If verifier confirms all non-deferred findings were addressed locally and no blocker remains, mark CodeRabbit remediation complete and continue without re-running CodeRabbit. If verifier cannot confirm, invoke helper + user confirmation without marking the gate PASS.
   • CODERABBIT_GATE: SKIPPED (CLI missing, auth failure, or not a git repo) → report reason; do not mark orchestration complete; prompt user to fix CLI/auth or waive explicitly.
5. GitHub feature mode: Run this gate only in Exit when queue empty (after all issues pass verifier), not when transitioning each issue to state:ready-for-review. Put ### CodeRabbit fields in the feature completion summary (and optional final gh comment on the PR), not in per-issue ready-for-review comments.

Orchestrate must track across the session: coderabbit_runs (must be 1 when this gate runs), coderabbit_findings (full numbered inventory from the one-shot run), coderabbit_resolutions (per-finding fixed / deferred / not_applicable evidence from developer/frontend-dev), coderabbit_remediation_fixes (items fixed after the one-shot run), and finding counts from the CodeRabbit run. Pass these into the Completion (mandatory) block below — never omit the CodeRabbit section.

Difficulty-based completion gates (after CodeRabbit gate when applicable)

When every stage is complete, the final verifier passes, and any required CodeRabbit gate has CODERABBIT_GATE: PASS or local CodeRabbit remediation has been verified complete after the one-shot run (or was skipped because easy):

1. Read ## Difficulty from the artifact (easy | medium | hard). If the section is missing or unclear, assume medium.
2. easy: Skip extra gates. Go to Completion (mandatory) and prompt the user to switch to architect.
3. medium: Invoke review via Task with: artifact path; aggregated completion summary (each stage_id, files_changed, tests_run outcomes, verifier verdict); include CodeRabbit gate findings when that gate ran. Require a concise post-execution assessment (sign-off vs remediation). If review indicates remediation, use scribe to update or create .plan/review.<slug>.md per existing review flow, then stop and prompt user to address remediation before final sign-off with architect.
4. hard:
   • (a) Invoke senior-dev via Task for scheduled post-implementation review (not STAGE_STUCK escalation): pass artifact path, aggregated implementation summary, Goal + AcceptanceChecks excerpts, and CodeRabbit gate findings when that gate ran. Instruct: read-only assessment unless explicit fix is in scope; return APPROVED or a numbered remediation list. No user confirmation required for this scheduled gate (unlike escalation).
   • (b) Invoke helper via Task for strategy conformance: pass artifact path, Goal, AcceptanceChecks, and short summary of what was implemented. Instruct helper to compare implementation intent vs plan and list any logical/architectural mismatches (reasoning only; no code).
   • If senior-dev or helper flags blockers, invoke helper + scribe to amend the artifact as usual before prompting the user.

Environment gate rerun (after remediation)

When the user fixes env/worktree issues or asks to rerun checks:

• Run worktree-env then developer preflight-only again; reset env_gate_passed only after Status: Ready.
• Do not write preflight output into plan artifacts.

Completion (mandatory)

When verifier passes for all stages, any required CodeRabbit gate has CODERABBIT_GATE: PASS or local CodeRabbit remediation has been verified complete after the one-shot run (or was skipped for easy), and any Difficulty-based completion gates for that artifact have finished (see above):

1. Report using the structure below. The ### CodeRabbit table is mandatory on every completion — never omit it. If CodeRabbit did not run, state why explicitly (easy, SKIPPED, or user waiver). Do not mark orchestration complete on medium/hard without CodeRabbit ran: yes and evidence of a successful CLI review.
2. The first table must name the exact sign-off target: feature:<slug> or .plan/<type>.<slug>.md, display name, repo, PR URL or skip reason, and branch/base when known.
3. Use tables or short keyed lists only. No essay paragraphs, no stale transcript summaries, no generic “done this, go back to architect” ending.
4. Explicit next step: tell the user exactly what to paste into the next architect chat for this feature/sign-off target.
5. Architect still owns final review + documentation in Mode B; orchestrate may have run medium/hard pre-handoff gates only.

When CODERABBIT_GATE: BLOCKED, increment Remediation fixes applied only when the child completion report lists which CodeRabbit finding IDs or numbered items were fixed (orchestrate sums across loops). Do not count deferred or not-applicable findings as fixes.

Do not present orchestration as completed unless required Task call evidence exists for each completed stage, for the applicable CodeRabbit gate (when medium/hard), and for the applicable Difficulty gates, and unless the completion report includes the CodeRabbit section above.
