Discovery Tree Workflow

About

The Discovery Tree Workflow (DTW) is a sophisticated system for planning and tracking work using a hierarchical breakdown of outcomes rather than linear steps. By utilizing 'beads' (bd), it allows developers and LLM agents to practice just-in-time planning, where the work tree grows organically as new requirements are discovered. This skill is specifically designed to facilitate agent coordination, allowing an orchestrator to define verifiable outcomes and hand them off to implementing agents for isolated, session-based execution that results in mergeable pull requests.
