/mission-orchestrated - Agents-Per-Task Execution

HOUSTON coordinates execution by spawning fresh agents for each task. Prevents context rot.

The Process

•Load feature - Run bd show FEATURE_ID to get details
•Activate feature - Run bd update FEATURE_ID --status in_progress
•
Task loop - For each task:
- •Get next task: bd list --parent FEATURE_ID --status open (pick highest priority)
- •Spawn Scout agent (explores codebase for context)
- •Spawn Worker agent (include scout report)
- •Wait for Worker completion
- •Spawn Inspector agent (verifies requirements met)
- •Spawn Analyst agent (reviews code quality)
- •HOUSTON decides: continue, fix issues, or escalate
- •Mark task complete: bd close TASK_ID
•Complete feature - Run bd close FEATURE_ID

Spawning Agents

Use Task tool with run_in_background: false (wait for completion).

CRITICAL: Always pass task_id and feature_id explicitly. Agents will run bd show to fetch authoritative details from Beads.

Scout (subagent_type: "Explore"):

code

"Scout the codebase for task: [title]
 Task: [description]
 Feature: [feature summary]

 Report ONLY facts - no suggestions or ideas:
 directories, files, patterns, dependencies."

Worker (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-worker"):

code

"Execute task [TASK_ID] for feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to get full context.

 Scout report:
 [output from Scout agent]"

Inspector (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-inspector"):

code

"Review task [TASK_ID] for feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to get requirements.

 Verify: requirements met, tests pass, acceptance criteria satisfied."

Analyst (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-analyst"):

code

"Analyze task [TASK_ID] for feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to understand scope.

 Check: patterns followed, no regressions, maintainable."

Decision Points

After Inspector/Analyst return, HOUSTON decides:

Result	Action
All pass	Mark complete, continue to next task
Minor issues	Log warning, continue
Blocker found	Create bug via `bd create -t bug`, ask user
Critical issue	Halt, escalate to user

On Completion

code

HOUSTON: Feature complete. {N} tasks executed via orchestrated mode.
         Worker/Inspector/Analyst cycle completed for each task.
