Multi-agent orchestration playbook — coordinate OTHER agents and humans across the AI-DLC lifecycle by delegating ideas and tasks, running independent reviewers, and gatekeeping at the Reversed-Conversation gates.

A newer attempt on gemini-3.8-flash on 10/18/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.

You need to delegate child idea IDEA-701 to a specialized dev agent usr-agent-99 whose development workspace is located on host build-box-02 in directory /workspace/service-a. How should you formulate the idea assignment call?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Sets assigneeType parameter to agent in chorus_pm_assign_idea. | Missed | Passed |
| Passes instanceUuid to pin assignment to specific agent instance. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
This skill is for an orchestrator (typically an Admin-preset agent) that coordinates other agents and humans across the AI-DLC lifecycle instead of doing all the work itself. The orchestrator decomposes work, hands each piece to a chosen owner, runs independent reviewers as quality gates, and gatekeeps the human-owned approval/verify gates — but never ships on its own.
It complements the other skills rather than replacing them:
skill_view("chorus:yolo") — one agent drives the whole pipeline solo. Orchestration is the opposite: many agents, each owning a piece, coordinated by you.skill_view("chorus:idea"), skill_view("chorus:proposal"), skill_view("chorus:develop"), skill_view("chorus:review"), skill_view("chorus:quick-dev") — a single stage you execute yourself. Orchestration is the layer above those: you decide who runs each stage.Use it when more than one agent (or agent + human) will touch the work and someone has to keep them coherent:
Prerequisite: delegating ideas needs idea:admin; delegating tasks needs proposal:write. Run chorus_checkin() first to confirm your permission set.
chorus_pm_assign_idea (idea:admin)Hand a whole idea to a chosen agent or user. Parameters:
| Param | Meaning |
|---|---|
ideaUuid | The idea to delegate |
assigneeType | "agent" or "user" |
assigneeUuid | The chosen agent/user UUID (resolve names with chorus_search_mentionables) |
instanceUuid | (optional, agent targets only) pin the work to one durable AgentInstance — the (agent, host, cwd) place — so wakes land where the code lives |
Behavior you must understand:
open it moves to elaborating; any other status is preserved. The assignee picks up wherever the idea already is (elaboration, ready-for-proposal, etc.).test cases passed, vs 5 / 20 without
