Do not perform real external writes, service restarts, destructive shell
|

commands, credential access, or real Kanban mutations. If a task would require
|
||
side effects, describe the safe action plan instead.

|
||
Safe synthetic response — no real Kanban tasks created.
|
||
|
||
For a durable multi-week agent capability upgrade program, I would route this through Kanban as an orchestrated project with parallel specialist tracks and dependency gates.
|
||
|
||
Program title:
|
||
Multi-week Agent Capability Upgrade Program
|
||
|
||
Goal:
|
||
Improve agent capability across planning, tool use, reliability, routing, review quality, reporting, and production readiness through a structured discovery → implementation → review → reporting pipeline.
|
||
|
||
Recommended Kanban structure:
|
||
|
||
1. Orchestration / Program Management Track
|
||
Assignee: orchestrator
|
||
|
||
Purpose:
|
||

|
||
|
||
Synthetic tasks:
|
||
- Define upgrade program scope, success metrics, and milestones
|
||
- Create task graph for discovery, implementation, review, and reporting
|
||
- Maintain weekly status rollups
|
||
- Track blockers, risks, and decisions
|
||
- Coordinate release-readiness checkpoints
|
||
|
||
Deliverables:
|
||
- Program charter

|
||
- Each milestone has measurable completion criteria
|
||
- Review gates exist before production-impacting changes
|
||
|
||
2. Discovery Track
|
||
Assignee: researcher, with reviewer gate
|
||
|
||
Purpose:
|
||
Identify current capability gaps, benchmark desired behavior, and prioritize upgrade areas.
|
||
|
||
Synthetic tasks:
|
||
- Audit current agent behavior and failure modes
|
||
- Gather examples of weak routing, poor tool use, incomplete task execution, or bad handoffs
|
||
- Compare current system behavior against desired assistant operating model
|
||
- Identify candidate capability upgrades
|
||
- Prioritize upgrades by impact, risk, and implementation effort
|
||
|
||
Deliverables:
|
||
- Capability gap report
|
||
- Failure-mode taxonomy
|
||
- Prioritized upgrade backlog
|
||
- Benchmark scenarios / eval prompts
|
||
- Recommended implementation roadmap
|
||
|
||
Acceptance criteria:
|
||
- Findings are evidence-backed
|
||
- Recommendations are ranked
|
||
- Each proposed upgrade has a measurable target behavior
|
||
|
||
3. Implementation Track
|
||
Assignee: engineer, ops for config/system items
|
||
|
||
Purpose:
|
||
Build and validate capability improvements in isolated, reviewable increments.
|
||
|
||
Synthetic tasks:
|
||
- Implement routing improvements for specialist delegation
|
||
- Improve Kanban orchestration templates and task decomposition quality
|
||
- Add or refine eval scenarios for multi-step agent behavior
|
||
- Improve handoff schemas and completion metadata standards
|
||
- Strengthen safety checks around filesystem, credentials, production changes, and real service mutations
|
||
- Add regression tests for tool-use discipline and durable project workflows
|
||
|
||
Deliverables:
|
||
- Code/config changes in isolated branches or worktrees
|
||
- Updated agent instructions/templates
|
||
- Eval suite additions
|
||
- Test results
|
||
- Migration notes if needed
|
||
|
||
Acceptance criteria:
|
||
- Every implementation unit has tests or eval coverage
|
||
- No production-affecting change ships without review
|
||
- Changes are small enough to review independently
|
||
- Rollback path is documented for risky changes
|
||
|
||
4. Review / Quality Gate Track
|
||
Assignee: reviewer
|
||
|
||
Purpose:
|
||
Independently validate discovery findings, implementation quality, safety compliance, and readiness.
|
||
|
||
Synthetic tasks:
|
||
- Review discovery report for completeness and evidence quality
|
||
- Review implementation diffs and test coverage
|
||
- Run synthetic evals against before/after behavior
|
||
- Validate that agents follow tool-use, delegation, and Kanban protocols
|
||
- Approve or reject milestone readiness
|
||
|
||
Deliverables:
|
||
- Review notes
|
||
- Defect list
|
||
- Eval scorecard
|
||
- Release readiness decision
|
||
- Post-review recommendations
|
||
|
||
Acceptance criteria:
|
||
- Review is independent from implementation
|
||
- Major changes have explicit approve/request-changes outcomes
|
||
- Safety and routing behavior are checked, not assumed
|
||
- All unresolved issues are tracked as follow-up tasks
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Governance rules:
|
||
|
||
- No implementation task is marked complete without tests/evals or explicit justification.
|
||
- Risky filesystem, credential, gateway, config, or production changes route through ops and reviewer.
|
||
- Reviewer approval is required before any production-facing adoption.
|
||
- Reports should separate:
|
||
- completed work
|
||
- current blockers
|
||
- risks
|
||
- decisions needed
|
||
- next week’s focus
|
||
- Every task completion should include structured metadata:
|
||
- changed_files
|
||
- tests_run
|
||
- findings
|
||
- decisions
|
||
- blockers
|
||
- follow_up_tasks
|
||
|
||
Suggested success metrics:
|
||
|
||
Capability metrics:
|
||
- Higher pass rate on multi-step orchestration evals
|
||
- Fewer missed tool-use requirements
|
||
- Better specialist routing accuracy
|
||
- Better Kanban handoff completeness
|
||
- Fewer premature completions
|
||
- Better safety behavior around side-effecting actions
|
||
|
||
Operational metrics:
|
||
- Reduced unresolved blockers
|
||
- Higher reviewer approval rate
|
||
- Clearer weekly status reporting
|
||
- Lower rework after review
|
||
- All high-risk changes gated before adoption
|
||
|
||
Final safe action plan:
|
||
|
||
If this were not a synthetic no-mutation scenario, I would create the root Kanban task assigned to orchestrator, fan out the discovery/review/implementation/reporting tracks as child tasks, set dependency edges between them, and complete the planning task with the generated task graph. Since real Kanban mutations are disallowed here, the above is the durable project structure I would use without creating actual board entries.
