Does this skill require a specific file to function?

Yes, a 'dag.yaml' file must exist and be committed before running coordinator commands to ensure the dependency graph can be tracked.

When should I use this skill instead of arc-implementing?

Use arc-coordinating when you need to manage multiple epics, track project status via a DAG, or merge worktrees. Use arc-implementing for the actual coding of a single feature.

What is the primary purpose of the arc-coordinating skill?

It manages the lifecycle of Git worktrees and coordinates parallel development tasks for complex, multi-epic projects using a structured workflow engine.

How does the merge command handle worktree detection?

It automatically infers the epic ID from the '.arcforge-epic' file, identifies the base worktree via Git porcelain, and merges the epic into the base branch.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates multi-epic development workflows through automated Git worktree management and DAG-based task coordination.

The arc-coordinating skill acts as the central engine for managing complex, parallel development cycles within the ArcForge ecosystem. It automates the lifecycle of Git worktrees—from expansion for new epics to final merging and cleanup—ensuring that developers and AI agents can work on multiple features simultaneously without branch pollution. By leveraging a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) state, it tracks task dependencies, identifies parallelizable work, and synchronizes progress across sessions, making it essential for large-scale projects requiring structured orchestration.
