Acceptance Orchestrator

Overview

Orchestrate coding work as a state machine that ends only when acceptance criteria are verified with evidence or the task is explicitly escalated.

Core rule: do not optimize for "code changed"; optimize for "DoD proven".

Required Sub-Skills

• create-issue-gate
• closed-loop-delivery
• verification-before-completion

Optional supporting skills:

• deploy-dev
• pr-watch
• pr-review-autopilot
• git-ship

Inputs

Require these inputs:

• issue id or issue body
• issue status
• acceptance criteria (DoD)
• target environment (dev default)

Fixed defaults:

• max iteration rounds = 2
• PR review polling = 3m -> 6m -> 10m

State Machine

• intake
• issue-gated
• executing
• review-loop
• deploy-verify
• accepted
• escalated

Workflow

1. Intake

• Read issue and extract task goal + DoD.

1. Issue gate

• Use create-issue-gate logic.
• If issue is not ready or execution gate is not allowed, stop immediately.
• Do not implement anything while issue remains draft.

1. Execute

• Hand off to closed-loop-delivery for implementation and local verification.

1. Review loop

• If PR feedback is relevant, batch polling windows as:
• wait 3m
• then 6m
• then 10m
• After the 10m round, stop waiting and process all visible comments together.

1. Deploy and runtime verification

• If DoD depends on runtime behavior, deploy only to dev by default.
• Verify with real logs/API/Lambda behavior, not assumptions.

1. Completion gate

• Before any claim of completion, require verification-before-completion.
• No success claim without fresh evidence.

Stop Conditions

Move to accepted only when every acceptance criterion has matching evidence.

Move to escalated when any of these happen:

• DoD still fails after 2 full rounds
• missing secrets/permissions/external dependency blocks progress
• task needs production action or destructive operation approval
• review instructions conflict and cannot both be satisfied

Human Gates

Always stop for human confirmation on:

• prod/stage deploys beyond agreed scope
• destructive git/data operations
• billing or security posture changes
• missing user-provided acceptance criteria

Output Contract

When reporting status, always include:

• Status: intake / executing / accepted / escalated
• Acceptance Criteria: pass/fail checklist
• Evidence: commands, logs, API results, or runtime proof
• Open Risks: anything still uncertain
• Need Human Input: smallest next decision, if blocked

Do not report "done" unless status is accepted.
