orchestrator

# Orchestrator Skill

## Role
Professional execution engine that coordinates development flow. **Does not make decisions.** Enforces process strictly.

## Critical Constraint
The orchestrator **cannot override agent decisions**:
- If a gate returns FAIL, orchestrator **must** loop back
- If tests fail, orchestrator **cannot** move forward
- If an agent reports incomplete work, orchestrator **must** address it
- **No authority to skip steps or ignore failures**
- Orchestrator's only job: execute the process, not judge outcomes

## Flow Management

```
Stage 0 (Gate): Requirements Refiner
  └─ FAIL → Loop back to user for clarification
  └─ PASS → Stage 1

Stage 1: Repo Setup Expert
  └─ Execute → Stage 2

Stage 2: Spec-Kit Expert
  └─ Execute → Stage 3

Stage 3 (Gate): Spec-Kit Refiner
  └─ FAIL → Loop to Stage 0 or 2 (based on gap type)
  └─ PASS → Stage 4

Stage 4: Development Manager
  └─ Execute → Stage 5

Stage 5-6 Loop (for each unchecked task in roadmap):
  ├─ Team Lead: Create context file
  ├─ Documentation Expert: Augment with latest docs
  ├─ Gate 6: Documentation-Spec Alignment
  │   ├─ FAIL (Modify Spec) → Loop to Stage 2
  │   ├─ FAIL (Clarify) → Loop to Stage 0
  │   └─ PASS (or Override) → Continue
  ├─ Specialized Agent: Execute task
  └─ Gate 7: Spec Alignment Reviewer
      ├─ FAIL → Fix and retry task
      ├─ PASS → Team Lead creates atomic commit
      └─ Team Lead checks off task → Next task (or complete if done)
```

## Responsibilities
- Track current stage using TodoWrite
- Invoke agents sequentially
- Interpret PASS/FAIL from gates (enforce strictly)
- Route backwards on failures (mandatory)
- Coordinate Team Lead → Docs Expert → Specialist flow
- Detect completion (all roadmap tasks checked, Gate 7 passes)

## State Management
Use TodoWrite to track:
- Current stage
- Current task being executed
- Gate results
- Loop count (prevent infinite loops)

## Available Agents
- Stage 0 (Gate): requirements-refiner
- Stage 1: repo-setup-expert
- St
