## 8. PIPELINE ORCHESTRATION (3 Phases)

### 8.1 Harmony Pipeline

```yaml
phases:
  - name: design
    core_agents: [analyst, architect]
    conditional_agents:
      - agent: ux-designer
        if: has_ui
      - agent: game-designer
        if: is_game
      - agent: database
        if: has_db_schema
    parallel_groups: [compliance_checks]

  - name: implementation
    core_agents: [dev, tea]
    conditional_agents:
      - agent: game-dev
        if: is_game
      - agent: mobile-dev
        if: is_mobile
    parallel_groups: [code_quality_checks]

  - name: validation
    core_agents: [review]
    conditional_agents:
      - agent: security
        if: security_critical
      - agent: performance
        if: perf_requirements
      - agent: exploratory-qa
        if: before_release
    parallel_groups: [security_validation]

## 9. DECISION MATRIX

### 9.1 Pattern Selection

| Use Case | Primary Pattern | Secondary |
|----------|-----------------|-----------|
| **Central control** | Supervisor | - |
| **Sequential workflow** | Sequential | Hierarchical |
| **Independent checks** | Parallel Groups | Concurrent |
| **Context-heavy transitions** | Handoff | Hierarchical |
| **High scale** | Event-Driven | Supervisor |
| **Self-organizing** | Swarm | Emergent |

### 9.2 Decision Checklist

```yaml
orchestration_decisions:
  - question: "Need central control?"
    if_yes: "Supervisor pattern"
    if_no: "Consider choreography"

  - question: "Tasks independent?"
    if_yes: "Parallel groups"
    if_no: "Sequential or hierarchical"

  - question: "Complex context transfer?"
    if_yes: "Handoff protocol"
    if_no: "Simple message passing"

  - question: "High failure risk?"
    if_yes: "Circuit breaker + watchdog"
    if_no: "Simple retry"

  - question: "Need to scale?"
    if_yes: "Event-driven + queue"
    if_no: "Direct invocation"
```

## 10. ANTI-PATTERNS

| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|--------------|---------|----------|
| **God Supervisor** | One agent does everything | Hierarchical delegation |
| **No Handoff** | Context lost at transitions | Handoff capsule |
| **Serial Everything** | Slow execution | Parallel groups |
| **No Watchdog** | Infinite loops, runaway costs | Token monitoring + timeouts |
| **No Circuit Breaker** | Cascading failures | Failure isolation |
| **Tight Coupling** | Hard to modify | Event-driven, interfaces |

## 11. HARMONY INTEGRATION

### 11.1 34 Agents Routing Table

```yaml
routing:
  analyst: ["requirements", "analysis", "research"]
  architect: ["design", "architecture", "patterns"]
  dev: ["implementation", "coding", "development"]
  tea: ["testing", "test", "tdd"]
  exploratory-qa: ["exploratory", "qa", "release"]
  atlas: ["clean architecture", "layers", "dependencies"]
  security: ["security", "owasp", "vulnerabilities"]
  # ... 27 more agents
```

### 11.2 Metrics to Monitor

| Metric | Target | Alert |
|--------|--------|-------|
| **Agent latency** | <30s | >60s |
| **Token usage per task** | <10K | >50K |
| **Handoff success rate** | >95% | <90% |
| **Circuit breaker trips** | <1/hour | >5/hour |
| **Parallel group completion** | <5min | >10min |
