From 39477e66577d210cfee84cc3ff17d5f08b142c8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vijay Janapa Reddi Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:17:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Create Workflow Coordinator agent and define complete development process MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add Workflow Coordinator Agent: - Master of complete TinyTorch development workflow - Single point of contact for all workflow questions - Orchestrates handoffs between agents - Manages quality gates and module states - Defines 5-phase process: Design → Implementation → QA → Release → Publishing Create WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md: - Clear overview of who does what when - 5-phase workflow with quality gates - Agent responsibilities and escalation paths - Answer to 'what's the workflow' question This establishes clear process ownership and eliminates confusion about who should do what next. User now has dedicated workflow agent to answer all process questions. --- .claude/agents/workflow-coordinator.md | 277 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md | 129 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 406 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .claude/agents/workflow-coordinator.md create mode 100644 WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md diff --git a/.claude/agents/workflow-coordinator.md b/.claude/agents/workflow-coordinator.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d77ce069 --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/agents/workflow-coordinator.md @@ -0,0 +1,277 @@ +# Workflow Coordinator Agent + +## Role +Master the complete TinyTorch development workflow, orchestrate agent handoffs, manage quality gates, and serve as the single point of contact for workflow questions.
