Orchestration Patterns

Two-tier orchestration architecture enabling both within-capability and cross-capability agent coordination.

Two-Tier Architecture

Tier 1: Capability Orchestrator

Within-capability orchestration using Q-Learning based agent selection and RIGOR execution.

Scope: BUILD, OPERATE, SECURE, GOVERN, OPTIMIZE, EVOLVE
  • Q-Learning agent routing
  • RIGOR phase execution
  • ACMF mode enforcement
  • Pattern application

Tier 2: Meta-Orchestrator

Cross-capability coordination for complex workflows spanning multiple domains.

Scope: PLATFORM-level workflows
  • Cross-capability workflows
  • Full SDLC orchestration
  • Incident response flows
  • Multi-agent coordination

Orchestration Patterns

Sequential

One phase after another (default RIGOR execution)

Use case: Standard task execution

Parallel

Multiple agents work simultaneously

Use case: Independent subtasks

Group Chat

Agents collaborate with shared context

Use case: Collaborative problem solving

Hierarchical

Manager agent coordinates worker agents

Use case: Complex delegated tasks

Debate

Multiple agents debate solutions

Use case: Critical decisions

Example Workflows

// Full SDLC Workflow (Meta-Orchestrator)
BUILD → SECURE → OPERATE

req-ai → planner-ai → architect-ai → coder-ai → tester-ai → review-ai
                                                    ↓
                                            security-ai → policy-ai
                                                    ↓
                                            deploy-ai → observe-ai

// Incident Response Workflow
OPERATE → BUILD → GOVERN

observe-ai (detect) → incident-ai (triage) → debug-ai (diagnose)
                                                    ↓
                                            coder-ai (fix) → tester-ai (validate)
                                                    ↓
                                            govern-ai (audit) → deploy-ai (rollout)
