Plan and verify parallel coding-agent tasks with Ordewell

Use Ordewell when an operator wants one goal turned into an editable dependency graph of coding-agent tasks, each with its own runner, model, branch, completion marker, and review handoff.

Tools required
Ordewell, Node.js 20 or newer, git, at least one supported runner such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode, and tmux for the terminal UI
Install & setup
Install the CLI with npm install -g ordewell, or install the Ordewell VS Code extension. Then run ordewell in a project, select planner and runners with /planner and /runners, or use the CLI sequence ordewell plan –goal "…", ordewell run, ordewell handoff review, and ordewell handoff merge.

Quick brief

Ordewell is task orchestration for coding agents across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and provider-backed planners. Use it when an operator wants a planner to read a repository without writing to it, ask clarifying questions, produce an editable dependency graph, assign each task to a runner and model, execute independent work in isolated git worktrees, and verify task completion from runner output markers before anything lands. Invoke this instead of using a coding agent normally when the useful workflow is repeatable plan-run-verify-handoff control: run ordewell plan with a goal, inspect or edit task prompts, runners, models, modes, and dependencies, run the plan, review the handoff diff, then merge or discard the integration branch. The scope boundary is editable coding-agent task planning, isolated execution, marker-based verification, and human handoff, not a generic multi-agent framework, terminal UI, VS Code extension, or package listing.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Inputs and prerequisites: Ordewell, Node.js 20 or newer, git, at least one supported runner such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode, and tmux for the terminal UI.

Setup notes: Install the CLI with npm install -g ordewell, or install the Ordewell VS Code extension. Then run ordewell in a project, select planner and runners with /planner and /runners, or use the CLI sequence ordewell plan –goal “…”, ordewell run, ordewell handoff review, and ordewell handoff merge.

Source and verification boundary: use https://ordewell.ai/docs as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.

Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
