| 32 | ## RPI Orchestration |
| 33 | |
| 34 | The Research, Plan, Implement methodology separates complex tasks into specialized phases. Five agents (task-researcher, task-planner, task-implementor, task-reviewer, and the RPI orchestrator) coordinate through planning files to deliver structured engineering workflows. See the [RPI Documentation](../rpi/) for the full guide. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ## GitHub Backlog Management |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Automates issue discovery, triage, sprint planning, and execution across GitHub repositories. The backlog manager agent orchestrates five distinct workflows with three-tier autonomy control. See the [Backlog Manager Documentation](github-backlog/) for workflow guides. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | ## ADO Backlog Management |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Automates work item discovery, triage, sprint planning, execution, PR creation, build monitoring, and task planning across Azure DevOps projects. The ADO Backlog Manager agent orchestrates nine distinct workflows with three-tier autonomy control. See the [Backlog Manager Documentation](ado-backlog/README.md) for workflow guides. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ## Project Planning |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Five specialized agents for project planning activities. Includes builders for Business Requirements Documents, Product Requirements Documents, Architecture Decision Records, architecture diagrams, and security plans. See the [Project Planning Agents](project-planning/README.md) for detailed documentation. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ## Data Pipeline |
| 49 | |
| 50 | Processes and transforms data across formats and systems. Four agents handle data extraction, transformation, validation, and loading workflows. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ## DevOps Quality |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Two agents focused on code quality and deployment reliability. Covers PR review automation and build pipeline analysis. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | ## Meta/Engineering |
| 57 | |
| 58 | The prompt builder agent creates and validates prompt engineering artifacts. Supports interactive authoring with sandbox testing for prompts, instructions, agents, and skills. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ## Infrastructure |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Manages cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration. Handles Bicep and Terraform deployments with validation and drift detection. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ## Utility |
| 65 | |
| 66 | General-purpose agents for cross-cutting concerns such as session persistence and context management across workflows. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | ## Security Planning |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Guides teams through a six-phase security assessment covering system scoping, operational bucketing, standards mapping, security model analysis, impact assessment, and backlog handoff. The security planner agent conducts interactive sessions with structured state tracking and produces dual-platform work items for ADO and GitHub. See the [Security Planner Documentation](security/) for phase details and entry modes. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | The **SSSC Planner** guides teams through a structured six-phase supply chain security assessment. It inventories 27 supply chain capabilities, maps against OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA, Sigstore, and SBOM standards, performs gap analysis with adoption categories, and generates priority-sorted backlog items. Supports four entry modes: capture, from-PRD, from-BRD, and from-security-plan. See [SSSC Planning](sssc-planning/README.md) for details. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ## RAI Planning |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Guides teams through a six-phase responsible AI assessment covering AI system scoping, sensitive uses screening, RAI standards mapping, security model analysis, impact assessment, and review with backlog handoff. The RAI planner agent builds on security plan outputs when available and produces scored assessments with dual-platform work items. See the [RAI Planner Documentation](rai-planning/) for phase details and entry modes. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ## Design Thinking |
| 79 | |
| 80 | The Design Thinking agents provide AI-assisted coaching through a nine-method, three-space framework for human-centered design. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | | Agent | Purpose | |
| 83 | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| |
| 84 | | `dt-coach` | Coaches teams through all 9 DT methods with session tracking | |
| 85 | | `dt-learning-tutor` | Teaches DT curriculum with exercises and assessments | |
