Members: Atlas, Cleo, Focus, Leo, and Nova. Includes their exact Orqestria profiles, portraits and 47 supporting skills. Leads and independent reviewers are assigned to each agent-led step.
- Implementation — Lead: Leo. Review: Nova and Atlas.
- Testing — Orqestria runs the configured verification commands; this step has no separate lead agent.
- Documentation — Lead: Cleo. Review: Nova and Focus.
Install the package, review and trust the skill sources, then enable the included agents and relevant skills in your project. Select this workflow for a work item. The configured leads and reviewers must be available in the project; model providers must be signed in. You can adjust assignments in the workflow editor. Installation does not replace your existing default workflows.
