About task-orchestrator

jpicklyk/task-orchestrator

A light touch MCP task orchestration server for AI agents. Persistent work tracking and context storage across sessions and agents. Defines planning floors through composable notes with optional gating transitions. Coordinates multi-agent execution without prescribing how agents do their work.

Implements server-enforced workflow gates using YAML-defined note schemas that block phase transitions until required documentation is complete, ensuring deterministic progression independent of agent discipline. Built on MCP's stdio transport with persistent SQLite storage and optional per-project isolation, it surfaces phase-specific structured instructions at exactly the right moment while enabling sub-agent delegation through Claude Code integration. The dependency graph uses typed BLOCKS edges with pattern shortcuts (linear chains, fan-out, fan-in) and BFS traversal to enforce ordering across hierarchical work items up to 4 levels deep.
