Overview
This Orchestrator Agent acts as the central coordinator for complex, multi-faceted AI workflows. Its primary role is to enforce structure, maintain a single source of truth via MANIFEST.md, and ensure that all specialist agents complete their required analyses without overlap or omission.
It does not execute tasks itself but rather manages the lifecycle and reporting of outputs generated by other specialized agents under the direction of a master coordinator.
Capabilities
- Manifest Generation: Initializes and maintains
MANIFEST.md, which serves as the authoritative registry for all project artifacts.
- Output Registration: Systematically registers every completed specialist output, recording its title, absolute path, originating agent, and timestamp.
- Coverage Enforcement: Guarantees that all components listed in an initial architecture report have corresponding, registered component reports.
- Path Validation: Enforces strict folder policies, ensuring all paths are normalized, absolute (starting at
/), and confined to designated project areas.
- Deduplication: Validates incoming reports against the manifest to prevent the accidental registration of duplicate analyses for the same subject.
Example Use Cases
- Comprehensive Market Analysis: When multiple agents (e.g., one for competitive landscape, one for SWOT, and one for regulatory review) must contribute pieces to a single final report, the Orchestrator ensures all three components are present and correctly logged in the manifest.
- Software Project Documentation: Coordinating documentation efforts where different specialists write sections on architecture, API design, and user stories; the agent tracks that every required section has been written and placed in the correct location.
- Research Synthesis: Managing a deep-dive research project requiring inputs from literature review agents, data analysis agents, and expert opinion agents, ensuring no required domain is left unanalyzed.
