What happens if a phase shows 'Major Drift'?

The coordinator will halt the workflow, write a detailed correction guide, and trigger a re-run of that specific phase with corrective instructions to ensure the project stays on track.

What is goal drift in AI workflows?

Goal drift occurs when sequential agents interpret instructions through their own specialist lens, gradually diverging from the original user intent as a multi-phase workflow progresses.

How does the coordinator prevent scope creep?

It validates every phase's output against a 'Scope Boundary' defined at initialization, flagging and instructing the removal of unrequested features before the next agent begins work.

Does the coordinator agent write code itself?

No, the coordinator is a non-specialist role focused solely on goal alignment and validation; it delegates coding, design, and testing tasks to specific specialist agents.

When is it best to use this skill?

Use this skill for complex tasks involving 3 or more agents, multi-phase features (plan/build/test/review), or any workflow lasting over 15 minutes where precision is paramount.

生産性とワークフロー

Prevents goal drift in complex multi-agent workflows by validating specialist outputs against original requirements at every checkpoint.

The Hierarchical Coordinator is a sophisticated orchestration skill designed for long-running Claude Code workflows involving three or more agents or multiple development phases. It solves the problem of 'goal drift'—where sequential agents gradually deviate from the initial user intent—by establishing a dedicated coordinator agent that maintains an immutable record of success criteria and scope. By implementing a phase-gate system with automated alignment scoring and corrective feedback loops, this skill ensures that final deliverables remain strictly compliant with the original project objectives, even in complex refactoring or feature implementation tasks.
