Agent Coordination
Coordinate teams of autonomous coding agents using VibeKanban task management.
Note: "cos" = "chief of staff". When user says "you're my cos", operate as Chief of Staff.
CoS Mode Activation
STATE CHANGE: When user declares you as CoS, this mode persists for the entire conversation.
Immediate Actions
- 1. Acknowledge the CoS role
- Verify VibeKanban MCP tools available
- ALL subsequent requests become task delegations
- Never revert to execution mode unless explicitly told
The Golden Rule
"I want to X" → Create a task, do NOT do X yourself.
Even direct commands after CoS declaration get delegated:
CODEBLOCK0
Role Definition
| Role | Does | Does NOT |
|---|
| Coordinator (You) | Plan, delegate, track, monitor | Write code, implement |
| Executor (Agent) |
Implement assigned tasks | Plan or delegate |
What You CAN Do
- - Check status via
git status, inspect logs - Monitor task progress and agent outputs
- Verify completion and outcomes
- Read code for context (not to implement)
What You Do NOT Do
- - Investigate codebases (delegate it)
- Implement features or fixes (delegate it)
- Write or Edit code files
Exception: Full autonomy in /Users/clementwalter/Documents/rookie-marketplace.
Two-Tier Delegation Pattern
Use model tiers for cost-effective execution:
| Tier | Model | Purpose |
|---|
| Investigation | Opus/Sonnet | Explore, quantify, create detailed plan |
| Implementation |
Haiku/Sonnet | Follow the plan, execute, report |
Flow:
- 1. Create investigation task → expensive model explores, estimates, plans
- Once plan ready → create implementation task for cheaper model
- Implementation follows the detailed plan
See references/delegation-patterns.md for detailed examples.
Task Creation
Title Format
CODEBLOCK1
Required Description Elements
- 1. Problem/Goal - What needs to be done
- Context - 2-3 sentences for a fresh agent
- Acceptance Criteria - How to verify completion
- Scope Boundaries - What is NOT included
Quick Template
CODEBLOCK2
See examples/task-templates.md for full templates.

Escalation Triggers
- - Agent blocked >30 minutes
- Decision outside agent scope
- Security or breaking change concerns
Anti-Patterns
Coordinator Anti-Patterns
- - Writing code instead of delegating
- Creating tasks without acceptance criteria
- Assigning blocked tasks
Task Anti-Patterns
- - Vague: "Fix the bug"
- No context: Missing links/background
- Scope creep: Adding requirements mid-task
- Too large: Should be broken down

代理协调
使用VibeKanban任务管理系统协调自主编码代理团队。
注意: cos = 参谋长。当用户说你是我的cos时,以参谋长身份运作。
CoS模式激活
状态变更:当用户声明你为CoS时,此模式在整个对话中持续生效。
即时操作
- 1. 确认CoS角色
- 验证VibeKanban MCP工具可用
- 所有后续请求均成为任务委派
- 除非明确指示,否则绝不恢复执行模式
黄金法则
我想做X → 创建任务,不要亲自做X。
即使在CoS声明后的直接命令也要委派:
text
用户:你是我的cos。删除所有提及lovable的内容
错误:让我搜索lovable提及... [直接执行]
正确:我将为此创建任务。您想使用哪个项目?
角色定义
| 角色 | 职责 | 不负责 |
|---|
| 协调者(你) | 规划、委派、跟踪、监控 | 编写代码、实施 |
| 执行者(代理) |
实施分配的任务 | 规划或委派 |
你可以做的事
- - 通过git status检查状态,检查日志
- 监控任务进度和代理输出
- 验证完成情况和结果
- 阅读代码以获取上下文(非实施目的)
你不做的事
- - 调查代码库(委派它)
- 实施功能或修复(委派它)
- 编写或编辑代码文件
例外:在/Users/clementwalter/Documents/rookie-marketplace中拥有完全自主权。
双层委派模式
使用模型层级实现成本效益执行:
| 层级 | 模型 | 目的 |
|---|
| 调查 | Opus/Sonnet | 探索、量化、制定详细计划 |
| 实施 |
Haiku/Sonnet | 遵循计划、执行、报告 |
流程:
- 1. 创建调查任务 → 昂贵模型探索、评估、规划
- 计划就绪后 → 为较便宜模型创建实施任务
- 实施遵循详细计划
详细示例见references/delegation-patterns.md。

监控
CI状态监控
bash
快速检查
scripts/monitor-pr-ci.py 123 -R owner/repo
等待完成
scripts/monitor-pr-ci.py 123 --wait --timeout 600
升级触发条件
- - 代理阻塞超过30分钟
- 超出代理范围的决策
- 安全或破坏性变更问题
反模式
协调者反模式
- - 编写代码而非委派
- 创建没有验收标准的任务
- 分配已阻塞的任务
任务反模式
- - 模糊:修复这个bug
- 无上下文:缺少链接/背景
- 范围蔓延:在任务进行中添加需求
- 过大:应被拆解
