SESSION11-ORCHESTRATOR2 Workflow Narrative

Agent Identity and Mission​

SESSION11-ORCHESTRATOR2 serves as the primary coordination hub for the CODITECT v4 Architecture Decision Records (ADR) development project. This agent assumes the critical role of PROJECT ORCHESTRATOR when the primary orchestrator becomes unavailable, ensuring continuous project momentum and quality enforcement.

Inheritance and Continuity​

This agent inherits all responsibilities from SESSION7-ORCHESTRATOR, maintaining seamless continuity in:

  • Agent assignments and work queues
  • Quality enforcement protocols
  • Phase progression gates
  • CODI-based coordination infrastructure

The inheritance model ensures no disruption to ongoing work while providing enhanced coordination capabilities through lessons learned from previous orchestrator sessions.

Core Mission: Autonomous Multi-Agent Development​

ORCHESTRATOR2 enables autonomous development through systematic coordination of specialized AI agents, each with defined roles:

Agent Ecosystem Management​

  • WRITERS (Sessions 4-6): Create ADR content following v4 standards
  • QA REVIEWERS (Sessions 8, 10): Enforce 100% quality scores using v4.2 checklist
  • CLEANERS (Session 9): Maintain repository organization for build readiness
  • ORCHESTRATORS (Sessions 7, 11): Coordinate workflows and resolve conflicts

Real-Time Coordination Protocol​

2-Minute Monitoring Cycle: ORCHESTRATOR2 operates on rapid intervals to:

  1. Detect Completions: Monitor CODI logs for TASK_COMPLETE signals
  2. Route QA Reviews: Immediately assign completed work to available QA reviewers
  3. Resolve Blockers: Address conflicts like the current ADR-019 numbering issue
  4. Assign New Work: Distribute tasks to available writers based on specialization

5-Minute Deep Analysis: Comprehensive project health assessment:

  • Phase completion status against 98-task roadmap
  • Quality score trends across all ADRs
  • Resource utilization and agent availability
  • Dependency chain analysis for next phase readiness

Quality Enforcement as Core Function​

The 100% Quality Gate​

ORCHESTRATOR2 enforces the foundational principle: No work proceeds without 100% quality scores. This means:

  • Every ADR Part 1 must score 40/40 for human comprehension
  • Every ADR Part 2 must score 40/40 for AI implementation clarity
  • QA reviewers use the standardized v4.2 checklist without exception
  • Failed reviews return to writers with detailed improvement guidance

Quality Workflow Automation​

  1. Writer Completes ADR → TASK_COMPLETE logged
  2. ORCHESTRATOR2 Detects → Routes to available QA reviewer (2-min cycle)
  3. QA Review Process → Detailed scoring using v4.2 checklist
  4. Pass (40/40) → ADR approved, next task assigned
  5. Fail (<40/40) → Detailed feedback to writer, revision cycle begins

Phase-Gated Development Strategy​

Current Focus: Phase 0 Foundation Standards​

ORCHESTRATOR2 maintains strict phase discipline:

  • Phase 0 MUST be perfect before any Phase 1 work begins
  • Foundation documents establish quality baselines for all subsequent work
  • Three critical standards: Logging, Test-Driven Design, Error Handling
  • Template updates to reflect new v4 requirements

Phase Progression Authority​

ORCHESTRATOR2 has autonomous authority to:

  • APPROVE phase transitions when all tasks reach 100% quality
  • BLOCK premature progression that would compromise quality
  • ESCALATE to human decision when agent conflicts arise over readiness

Conflict Resolution and Decision Authority​

Autonomous Resolution Powers​

  • Task Assignment Conflicts: Route based on agent availability and specialization
  • QA Review Backlogs: Implement round-robin assignment with priority queues
  • Numbering/Naming Conflicts: Apply standardized resolution protocols
  • Resource Contention: Optimize work distribution to prevent overlaps

Escalation Triggers​

  • Agent disagreements on quality scores
  • Architecture decisions affecting multiple ADRs
  • Phase readiness disputes
  • Technical blockers beyond agent expertise

The CODI Integration: Autonomous Development Infrastructure​

Why CODI is Critical​

ORCHESTRATOR2 operates through the CODI (CODItect Intelligence) infrastructure, which provides:

  • Complete Observability: Every file operation tracked with AI attribution
  • Real-Time Coordination: JSON-formatted logs enable instant agent communication
  • Quality Metrics: Automated collection of development velocity and quality data
  • Session Continuity: Export archival preserves context across sessions

CODI-Enabled Coordination​

The monitoring infrastructure allows ORCHESTRATOR2 to:

  1. Track Work in Real-Time: File operations attributed to specific agents
  2. Prevent Conflicts: Detect when multiple agents work on same files
  3. Measure Velocity: Analyze completion rates and quality trends
  4. Maintain Context: Preserve all decisions and rationale for future sessions

Immediate Action Plan​

Priority 1: Resolve ADR-019 Conflict​

SESSION10-QA-REVIEWER2 reported duplicate ADR-019 documents:

  • coditect-server-orchestration (single file)
  • prompt-engine-server-architecture (dual-part)

Resolution Strategy: Clarify numbering scheme and route appropriate document for review.

Priority 2: Foundation Standards Completion​

Ensure Phase 0 completion before any Phase 1 work:

  • Monitor writers' progress on foundation documents
  • Route completed standards to QA reviewers immediately
  • Block any Phase 1 advancement until foundation is 100% complete

Priority 3: Agent Workflow Standardization​

Deploy all agent workflows to .codi/workflows/ directory for:

  • Database-driven workflow loading
  • Standardized coordination protocols
  • Automated agent discovery and management

Success Metrics and Outcomes​

Coordination Excellence​

  • Agent Response Time: <2 minutes for status updates
  • Blocker Resolution: <10 minutes average
  • QA Turnaround: <30 minutes for reviews
  • Zero Duplicate Work: Through real-time coordination

Quality Assurance​

  • 100% ADR Approval Rate at 40/40 quality scores
  • <20% Rework Rate through clear specifications
  • Foundation Compliance: 100% before phase progression

Project Velocity​

  • >5 Tasks/Day completion rate
  • On-Schedule Phases through disciplined gates
  • Autonomous Operation: Minimal human intervention required

The Vision: Specification-Driven Development​

ORCHESTRATOR2 embodies the CODITECT vision where AI agents coordinate autonomously to deliver production-ready software from specifications. This workflow demonstrates:

  • Multi-Agent Orchestration: Specialized roles working in harmony
  • Quality-First Development: No compromises on standards
  • Real-Time Coordination: CODI infrastructure enabling instant communication
  • Autonomous Decision Making: Reduced human overhead through intelligent routing

This represents a working prototype of the autonomous development platform that CODITECT will provide to enterprise customers - where specifications become software through coordinated AI agent teams.

Next Steps​

Upon approval, ORCHESTRATOR2 will:

  1. Immediately resolve the ADR-019 conflict
  2. Deploy active coordination of all agents
  3. Enforce quality gates with 100% requirement
  4. Drive Foundation Standards completion
  5. Prepare for Phase 1 transition when ready

The autonomous development experiment begins now.
