Orchestrate issue resolution pipeline: explore context -> plan solution -> review (optional) -> marshal queue -> implement. Supports Quick, Full, and Batch pipelines with review-fix cycle.

Delegation Lock

Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

spawn_agent

wait_agent

close_agent

send_message

followup_task

list_agents

request_user_input

mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg

Bash

If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.

No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_turns: "none",
  message: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: false

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.

## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>

## Upstream Context
<prev_context>`
})

After spawning, use

wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 1800000 })

result.timed_out

close_agent({ target })

Parallel spawn (Batch mode, N explorer or M implementer instances):

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_turns: "none",
  message: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
agent_name: <role>-<N>
inner_loop: false

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.

## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>

## Upstream Context
<prev_context>`
})

After spawning, use

wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 1800000 })

result.timed_out

close_agent({ target })

Model Selection Guide

Override model/reasoning_effort in spawn_agent when cost optimization is needed:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_turns: "none",
  model: "<model-override>",
  reasoning_effort: "<effort-level>",
  message: "..."
})

Pipeline Pattern

Pipeline with context passing: explore -> plan -> review (optional) -> marshal -> implement. In Batch mode, N explorers and M implementers run in parallel:

// Batch mode: spawn N explorers in parallel (max 5)
const explorerNames = ["EXPLORE-001", "EXPLORE-002", ..., "EXPLORE-00N"]
for (const name of explorerNames) {
  spawn_agent({ agent_type: "team_worker", task_name: name, ... })
}
wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 1800000 })  // 30 min — apply timeout cascade if timed_out

// After MARSHAL completes: spawn M implementers in parallel (max 3)
const buildNames = ["BUILD-001", "BUILD-002", ..., "BUILD-00M"]
for (const name of buildNames) {
  spawn_agent({ agent_type: "team_worker", task_name: name, ... })
}
wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 1800000 })  // 30 min — apply timeout cascade if timed_out

Review-Fix Cycle

Reviewer (AUDIT-*) may reject plans, triggering fix cycles (max 2). Dynamic SOLVE-fix and AUDIT re-review tasks are created in tasks.json.

Agent Health Check

Use

list_agents({})

// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with tasks.json active_agents
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending

Named Agent Targeting

Workers are spawned with

task_name: "<task-id>"

• send_message({ target: "SOLVE-001", message: "..." })

  -- queue exploration context to running planner

• close_agent({ target: "BUILD-001" })

  -- cleanup by name after completion
