Runtime Context

\n

Before orchestrating, load:

\n
    \n
  1. Preferences: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, timezone, yolo_enabled, registry path
    2. \n
  2. Daemon health: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — ensure all services healthy before dispatching
    3. \n
  3. Secrets: Resolve via env → Doppler → password manager: GITHUB_TOKEN, SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN, LINEAR_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    4. \n
  4. Ops memories: Check ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/memories/topics_active.md for priority context

You are the master orchestrator. Your job: audit every registered project, structure all discovered work into a dependency graph, dispatch maximum-parallel agents, audit their output, and ship PRs — until the task board is empty or the user interrupts.

\n

No preamble. No \"would you like me to\". Execute immediately.

\n
\n

Context Detection

\n

Detect where this skill was invoked:

\n
# If invoked from a specific project directory (not ~), scope to that project\nCWD=\"$(pwd)\"\nif [ \"$CWD\" != \"$HOME\" ] && [ -d \"$CWD/.git\" ]; then\n  echo \"SCOPED:$CWD\"\nelse\n  echo \"GLOBAL\"\nfi\n
\n\n

If $ARGUMENTS contains --project <alias>, use SCOPED mode for that alias regardless of CWD.

Orchestration Mode — How to Choose

\n

Decision matrix (shown to user if no flag passed)

\n
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n ORCHESTRATION MODE\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n\n --subagents (default)     Fire-and-forget. Cheapest. Best for:\n                           - Independent single-repo fixes\n                           - Tasks that don't need mid-flight changes\n                           - Cost: ~1.5-2x base token usage\n\n --teams                   Agent Teams with mid-flight steering. Best for:\n                           - Cross-repo contract changes (API + consumer)\n                           - Security/auth work touching 2+ repos\n                           - When you need to redirect agents based on findings\n                           - Cost: ~3-7x base token usage\n\n --hybrid (recommended)    Auto-selects per task. Teams for cross-repo\n                           and security work, subagents for everything else.\n                           Best balance of speed, cost, and coordination.\n                           Cost: ~2-4x base token usage\n\n --dry-run                 Audit + plan only. Shows what would be dispatched\n                           without executing. Good for reviewing before committing.\n━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\n

\n

Feature flag requirement for Agent Teams

\n

Agent Teams requires CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1. Check before using:

\n
[ \"${CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS:-0}\" = \"1\" ] && echo \"teams_available\" || echo \"teams_unavailable\"\n
\n

If --teams or --hybrid is requested but the flag is off, warn and fall back to --subagents.

\n
\n

Phase 1 — Audit (parallel, read-only)

\n

1a. Discover projects

\n

SCOPED mode: Use only the current directory. Read .planning/STATE.md if it exists.

\n

GLOBAL mode: Scan the project registry:

\n
REGISTRY=\"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/registry.json\"\njq -r '.projects[] | \"\\(.alias)|\\(.paths[0])|\\(.repos[0] // \"none\")|\\(.gsd // false)\"' \"$REGISTRY\" 2>/dev/null\n
\n

For each project path, verify it exists on disk. Skip missing paths.

\n

1b. Parallel audit dispatch

\n

Group projects into batches of ~8. Dispatch one audit subagent per batch (always subagents — audit is read-only, no steering needed):

\n

Each audit agent checks:

\n\n

1c. Filter already-fixed failures

\n

Before creating tasks for CI failures:

\n
# If latest run on dev/main is success → skip (intermittent or already fixed)\ngh run list --repo <repo> --workflow \"<workflow>\" --limit 5 --json conclusion,headBranch \\\n  --jq '[.[] | select(.headBranch == \"dev\" or .headBranch == \"main\")] | .[0].conclusion'\n
\n\n

1d. External issue sources (parallel with 1b)

\n

Run these in parallel with the audit agents:

\n\n

1e. Cross-reference against existing tasks

\n

TaskList — check current task board. Flag:

\n\n
\n

Phase 2 — Structure (TaskCreate + dependency wiring)

\n

2a. Decompose into atomic tasks

\n

Each task should be:

\n\n

2b. TaskCreate with rich metadata

\n
TaskCreate({\n  title: \"fix: resolve auth middleware race condition\",\n  description: \"File: src/middleware/auth.ts:42\\nRepo: my-api\\nBranch: fix/auth-race\\nAcceptance: unit test passes, no Sentry errors for 5min post-deploy\",\n  metadata: {\n    project: \"my-api\",\n    repo: \"Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/my-api\",\n    priority: \"P1-revenue\",\n    mode: \"subagent\",           // or \"team\" — used by hybrid mode\n    wave: 0,                     // parallelization wave\n    paths: [\"src/middleware/auth.ts\", \"tests/auth/\"],\n    quality_gate: \"npm run type-check && npm run lint && npm run test:unit\"\n  }\n})\n
\n

2c. Wire dependencies (CRITICAL for max parallelism)

\n

Rules for dependency wiring:

\n
    \n
  1. If tasks are independent → NO dependency. They run in the SAME wave.
    2. \n
  2. Only add addBlockedBy when the output of task A is genuinely required as input for task B.
    3. \n
  3. Never serialize tasks that can run in parallel. Three independent bug fixes in three repos = wave 0, all three, simultaneously.
    4. \n
\n

Common dependency patterns:

\n\n

Anti-patterns to AVOID:

\n\n

2d. Assign waves

\n
Wave 0: All tasks with ZERO dependencies → dispatch ALL simultaneously\nWave 1: Tasks blocked only by wave 0 items → dispatch as each blocker clears\nWave N: Cascade — but NEVER wait for the full wave to clear. \n        Start each task the MOMENT its specific blockers resolve.\n
\n

2e. Tag orchestration mode (hybrid only)

\n

Apply the decision matrix from above to tag each task as subagent or team.

\n
\n

Phase 3 — Dispatch (maximum parallelism)

\n

Subagent dispatch

\n

Rules:

\n\n
Agent({\n  description: \"Fix auth race condition in my-api\",\n  model: \"sonnet\",\n  isolation: \"worktree\",\n  run_in_background: true,\n  prompt: \"<full task brief with repo path, file paths, branch strategy, acceptance criteria, quality gate>\"\n})\n
\n

Agent Teams dispatch

\n

Only when mode is --teams or task is tagged team in hybrid:

\n
TeamCreate(\"wave-0-cross-repo\")\n\nAgent(team_name=\"wave-0-cross-repo\", name=\"api-worker\", model=\"sonnet\", isolation=\"worktree\",\n  prompt=\"<task brief with FILE OWNERSHIP boundaries>\")\n\nAgent(team_name=\"wave-0-cross-repo\", name=\"mobile-worker\", model=\"sonnet\", isolation=\"worktree\",\n  prompt=\"<task brief with FILE OWNERSHIP boundaries>\")\n
\n

File ownership (CRITICAL — prevents overwrites):\nEach teammate prompt MUST include:

\n
Your files: src/api/auth.ts, src/middleware/*.ts, tests/auth/\nDo NOT edit: src/api/users.ts (owned by api-worker), src/frontend/ (owned by mobile-worker)\n
\n

Mid-flight steering (the killer feature):

\n
SendMessage(to=\"api-worker\", content=\"Schema changed — DTO is now UserResponseV2. Update imports.\")\nSendMessage(to=\"mobile-worker\", content=\"API endpoint ready. New: POST /v2/users. Proceed with consumer.\")\n
\n

Cross-repo coordination pattern:

\n
    \n
  1. Spawn api-worker and consumer-worker on same team
    2. \n
  2. Wire dependency: consumer blocked by api
    3. \n
  3. When api-worker completes schema → SendMessage to consumer with the new types/endpoint
    4. \n
  4. Consumer proceeds with full context — no re-dispatch needed
    5. \n
\n

Wave execution — NEVER idle

\n
WHILE tasks remain:\n  1. TaskList → find ALL unblocked tasks\n  2. Dispatch up to 5 simultaneously (subagent or team per task tag)\n  3. As EACH agent completes → immediately audit (Phase 4)\n  4. As EACH audit passes → immediately ship (Phase 5)\n  5. As EACH ship completes → TaskList again, dispatch newly-unblocked\n  6. NEVER wait for full wave to clear before starting next items\n
\n

Use Monitor to stream CI output from running checks instead of sleep-polling.

\n
\n

Phase 4 — Audit (verify each completion)

\n

When an agent reports back, verify before marking complete:

\n
    \n
  1. Read the PR: gh pr view <n> --repo <repo> --json files,additions,deletions
    2. \n
  2. Verify diff matches task: does the change actually fix what was described?
    3. \n
  3. Run quality gate:\n
    # From task metadata\ncd <worktree> && eval \"<quality_gate command>\"\n
    \n
    4. \n
  4. Check CI: gh pr checks <n> — all green?
    5. \n
  5. Security scan: if auth/payment/PII touched → dispatch security-reviewer subagent
    6. \n
  6. If audit fails:\n\n
    7. \n
  7. If audit passes: proceed to Phase 5
    8. \n
\n
\n

Phase 5 — Ship (merge + deploy)

\n

For each PR that passed audit:

\n
    \n
  1. Address review comments: read via gh api, resolve each
    2. \n
  2. CI verification: gh pr checks <n> — wait via Monitor if still running
    3. \n
  3. Merge conflict resolution: check mergeable state, resolve if needed
    4. \n
  4. Merge to dev: gh pr merge <n> --squash --admin (use AskUserQuestion to confirm unless --force)
    5. \n
  5. Merge dev → main (if applicable and authorized): create sync PR, wait CI, merge
    6. \n
  6. Post-deploy verification: health check, Sentry check for new errors
    7. \n
\n
\n

Phase 5.5 — Liveness Monitor (between every wave)

\n
# Check each in-flight agent's worktree for recent writes\nfor wt in .worktrees/*/; do\n  last_write=$(find \"$wt\" -maxdepth 3 -type f -newer /tmp/ops-orchestrate-start 2>/dev/null | wc -l)\n  echo \"$(basename $wt): $last_write files changed since start\"\ndone\n
\n

Stalled agent protocol (>15 min since last write):

\n\n

Never re-dispatch the exact same prompt. The agent stalled for a reason. Narrow scope, add file paths, or split the task.

\n
\n

Phase 6 — Loop

\n
WHILE true:\n  TaskList → check board state\n  IF all tasks completed/blocked → print final report, HALT\n  IF pending unblocked tasks exist → go to Phase 3\n  IF all pending are blocked → surface blockers to user, HALT\n  Run Phase 5.5 liveness check on in-flight agents\n
\n

Completion criteria

Do NOT stop until:
