name: mission-orchestrated description: "HOUSTON spawns Pathfinder, Builder, Inspector per task. Best for medium features (4-10 tasks)."

/mission-orchestrated - Agents-Per-Task Execution

HOUSTON coordinates execution by spawning fresh agents for each task. Prevents context rot.

The Process

1. Load feature - Run bd show FEATURE_ID to get details
2. Activate feature - Run bd update FEATURE_ID --status in_progress
3. Task loop - For each task:
   • Get next task: bd list --parent FEATURE_ID --status open (pick highest priority)
   • Claim task: bd update TASK_ID --status in_progress
   • Spawn Pathfinder agent (explores codebase, adds findings to bead comments)
   • Spawn Builder agent (reads Pathfinder findings from Beads, implements)
   • Spawn Inspector agent (verifies Tests checklist from task description)
   • HOUSTON decides: continue, fix issues, or escalate
   • Mark task complete: bd close TASK_ID
4. Complete feature - Run bd close FEATURE_ID

Spawning Agents

Use Task tool with run_in_background: false (wait for completion).

CRITICAL: Always pass task_id and feature_id explicitly. Agents will run bd show to fetch authoritative details from Beads.

Pathfinder (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-pathfinder"):

"Explore codebase for task [TASK_ID] under feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to get full context.

 Add findings as a [PATHFINDER] comment on the task bead."

Builder (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-builder"):

"Execute task [TASK_ID] for feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to get full context.
 Read [PATHFINDER] comment for codebase findings.
 Use **Tests:** checklist in task description as TDD targets."

Inspector (subagent_type: "space-agents:mission-inspector"):

"Review task [TASK_ID] for feature [FEATURE_ID].

 Run `bd show [TASK_ID]` and `bd show [FEATURE_ID]` first to get requirements.

 Verify each **Tests:** item in task description. Report pass/fail count."

Decision Points

After Inspector returns, HOUSTON decides:

On Completion

HOUSTON: Feature complete. {N} tasks executed via orchestrated mode.
         Pathfinder/Builder/Inspector cycle completed for each task.
