Cor-Incorporated Agent Orchestrator
Plan and execute multi-agent teams. Core rules (team mandatory, compacting resilience, mutual review) are in agents-and-parallel.md (always loaded). This skill provides the HOW: patterns, decisions, workflows.
Read plan (Plans.md or stated tasks)
-> Identify independent groups (parallelize)
-> Identify dependencies (sequence)
-> Select team pattern from references/team-patterns.md
-> Map task groups to agent roles
-> Output Team Plan
| Condition | TeamCreate | Parallel Agents |
|---|---|---|
| 2+ waves with dependencies | Yes | No |
| Mutual review needed between workers | Yes | No |
| Independent one-shot tasks | No | Yes |
| Long-running (compacting risk) | Yes | Risky |
| 3+ agents needing coordination | Yes | Possible |
TeamCreate Flow
TeamCreate(team_name, description)
-> TaskCreate (all tasks with descriptions)
-> Agent (spawn teammates with team_name)
-> TaskUpdate (assign tasks)
-> Monitor via messages + TaskList
Parallel Agent Flow
Agent(task-A, run_in_background) +
Agent(task-B, run_in_background) +
Agent(task-C, run_in_background)
[all in single message]
-> Wait for completions
-> Agent(code-reviewer, review all changes)
Track status at milestones:
| Agent | Task | Status |
|-------|------|--------|
| name | task | status |
Wave Transitions
Wave N complete
-> Reviewer(s) cross-review all Wave N changes
-> Fix CRITICAL/HIGH issues
-> Re-review if fixes applied
-> Wave N+1 begins
| Scenario | Reviewer |
|---|---|
| Agent A implements X | Agent B or dedicated reviewer |
| Agent B implements Y | Agent A or dedicated reviewer |
| Single implementer | Dedicated code-reviewer required |
Review checklist:
- Code quality (naming, structure, readability)
- No mutations (immutable patterns)
- Error handling present
- No security vulnerabilities (OWASP top 10)
- Consistent with existing codebase patterns
- Tests cover the implementation
Escalation: CRITICAL issues -> fix -> re-review -> CRITICAL = 0 to proceed.
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Agent hangs / no response | Check TaskList; re-spawn if stuck |
| Compacting mid-wave | Save state to TaskList; resume from checkpoint |
| Cross-review finds CRITICAL | Block wave transition; fix first |
| Agent produces conflicting changes | Resolve via dedicated mediator agent |
| Wave dependency broken | Roll back wave; re-execute with corrected inputs |
