How to split a project into parallel branch work under a Manager with Pi Herdsman

Use a Manager to coordinate several Leads, each working on its own durable Git branch.

Who it is forA team lead or developer with independent features to build in one repo who wants them worked on in parallel.

The problemIndependent tasks queue up behind one agent session, and assignments get lost when the session that started them ends.

The outcomeA Manager assigns Leads to branch-based work that persists across Manager turnover, and each Lead runs its own Agent tree.

What you need first

  • Linux or macOS for the released install script
  • Pi and herdr installed, or the install script to set them up
  • A Git project to work in

Steps

  1. Run pi install npm:pi-herdsman
  2. Run herdr integration install pi
  3. Run herdr, then run pi inside its pane
  4. Enter Manager mode from an eligible Lead session as described in the project orchestration guide (inferred, check the README)
  5. Assign each independent piece of work to a Lead tied to its own Git branch

Prompt for your agent

Using the pi-herdsman repo, set up a Manager that assigns <number> independent tasks from <task list file> to Leads on separate Git branches. Expected output: a list of active Leads with their branch names and assignment status. Verify that each Lead is listed under the Manager's current project assignments.

Caveat. Manager mode requires an eligible Lead, and the README does not give the exact command to enter it, so confirm the steps in the project orchestration guide first.
