How many tasks can this skill handle simultaneously?

By default, it supports up to 5 parallel workers to ensure rapid progress across multiple issues without overwhelming system resources.

Does it save progress if the session is interrupted?

Yes, all state, worker PIDs, and logs are persisted in a local .orchestrator directory, allowing the workflow to resume exactly where it left off.

What happens if an autonomous worker fails to solve an issue?

Instead of stopping, the orchestrator triggers a research cycle to investigate logs and documentation, attempting the fix again with new context before marking it as blocked.

Is human intervention required during autonomous operation?

The skill requires an initial explicit 'PROCEED' confirmation from the user to start, but then manages workers, research cycles, and PRs autonomously until completion or a true blocker is reached.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You need the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, support for Git worktrees, and the worker-dispatch, worker-protocol, and ci-monitor skills installed.

Deployment & DevOps

Orchestrates long-running autonomous development workflows across multiple issues using parallel workers and persistent state management.

About

The Autonomous Orchestration skill transforms Claude into an end-to-end development agent capable of tackling entire milestones or epics. It manages the lifecycle of multiple GitHub issues simultaneously by spawning parallel worker processes in isolated Git worktrees. The skill maintains a persistent local state to survive restarts, monitors CI/CD status to automate PR merges, and implements a sophisticated 'research-after-failure' loop. This ensures complex, multi-step projects are completed autonomously while keeping GitHub as the single source of truth.

Key Features

Git worktree isolation for safe, concurrent development environments
Parallel worker dispatching for multi-issue resolution
0 GitHub stars
Intelligent retry logic with deep research cycles upon failure
Persistent state management with .orchestrator directory tracking
Automated CI/CD status monitoring and pull request merging

Use Cases

Clearing an issue backlog or epic-labeled tasks without manual intervention
Managing long-running development cycles that require waiting for CI/CD pipelines
Executing an entire project milestone involving several related features and bug fixes
