The Orchestration Lifecycle

Jerico's core strength is orchestrating complex software specs across autonomous agents without losing human oversight.

Step-by-Step Lifecycle

  1. Spec Submission: Enter your feature request or spec in the orchestrator prompt bar.
  2. DAG Planning: Jerico's server-side planner breaks the spec down into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of discrete todos with explicit dependencies, then sends the plan to your browser.
  3. Human Approval Gate: Jerico pauses the run and presents the generated plan for your review — read-only, plan-level. Choose Approve & Run or Cancel for the whole plan (there's no per-todo edit at this gate).
  4. Role-Aware Dispatch: Once approved, ready todos with fulfilled dependencies dispatch to free panels matching each todo's role — implementation work prefers developer/executor panels, review work prefers reviewer panels, and infra work prefers shell panels.
