agent-bus workflows
Use this when the user wants agent-bus to behave like a software team, not just a mailbox.
Backlog and Kanban
Capture ideas as backlog tasks. Promote only when the team is ready.
Typical flow:
backlog -> todo/open -> accepted/claimed -> doing/working
-> testing -> review -> done/completed
The CLI board:
agent-bus backlog --team <team>
agent-bus kanban --team <team> --watch
agent-bus done --team <team>
Loop memory pattern
Agents should write durable memory for:
- decisions
- current risks
- done work
- next actions
- handoff notes
Pin only durable handoffs/risks/facts that should survive session compaction or tomorrow's restart.
Verifier gate
For implementation tasks, "done" requires:
- implementation done
- test evidence recorded
- reviewer/verifier approved if required
- final report says safe
Use independent review when the implementer should not self-approve.
Conflict protection
Assign edit scopes before editing. Broad review/read scopes should not create edit conflicts. If two agents need the same file, one owns the edit task and the other reviews.
