Multi-Agent Pipeline¶
Type: Pipeline architecture
Definition¶
The Multi-Agent Pipeline is the full 5-phase, 23-step pipeline design recovered from Kelly's tweet screenshots (Tweet ID: 2025383693326401904). It describes how multiple agents coordinate across the lifecycle of a project.
The Five Phases¶
- Discovery: Opportunity identification, validation, sizing
- Design: UX, visual design, design system
- Code: Implementation, code review, testing
- Assets: App icons, screenshots, marketing materials
- Submit: App store submission, review, launch
Gates¶
Each phase has entry and exit gates:
- Entry gate: Prerequisites verified before phase begins
- Exit gate: Phase outputs validated before proceeding
Failure Handling¶
| Failure Type | Response |
|---|---|
| Gate fails | Stop and escalate |
| Timeout | Resume from last checkpoint |
| Build error | Checkpoint and retry |
| App Store rejection | Human decision |
Agent Startup Checklist¶
Each agent follows: Read state → Verify prerequisites → Do work → Run gate → Update state → Announce completion
