recursive subagent worker orchestration pattern

  • main orchestrator agent uses ralph wiggum loop technique to parse the prd.md file and decompose into steps and delegate todos steps to subagents
  • spawn isolated subagent with minimum necessary tools to complete a list of todo tasks
  • spawns subagents with access to skills
  • subagents use isolated venv temp files for work to avoid race condition
  • uses tmux to maintain session lifecycle
  • uses tmux to coordinate and communicate with subagent workers
  • isolated subagent has a fresh context window with minimum necessary message from parent orchestrator
  • subagents asynchronously and concurrently for the parent orchestrator
  • subagents may not spawn their own subagents
  • subagents use the ralph wiggum loop technique in a concurrency in their own temporary environment with locks
  • orchestrator uses progress.md to document session information and tokens used in summary and subagent workers used, number of tasks per worker, bugs, issues, and session summary
