Who it is forA team lead or engineer who wants the chain to use different review rules, roles or models than the built-in Full Assurance template.
The problemA fixed delivery chain may not match how a team reviews code, splits work or chooses models.
The outcomeA customized template with your own roles, prompts and gates, used by new chains on the board.
What you need first
- An Apple Silicon Mac or a Linux machine (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS verified)
- Node.js satisfying ^20.19.0 || ^22.13.0 || >=24, with 22.17.0 from .nvmrc and npm 10.9.2 or later
- Docker Compose and Git
- The official Codex CLI, signed in under the account that runs the runner (Claude Code and Pi optional)
- A test repository to try it on before pointing it at real work
Steps
- Read the template files in
agents/templates/compound-engineer-workflow/to see how each role binds a prompt, model, reasoning effort and runner. - Read the task routing contract in
docs/governance/task-routing-v1.mdto learn what each board column means. - Copy the template, then change roles, prompts, models or gates for the steps you want to alter.
- Queue a small test task on a throwaway repository and confirm each step runs the role you set.
Prompt for your agent
In the mosonlab/anneal repository, copy agents/templates/compound-engineer-workflow to a new template named <template-name>, change the step that uses the role <role-slug> to use <model> at <effort>, and report the changed fields. Verify that the template still lists twelve steps in order.
Caveat. The README says roles and gates are editable but does not document the exact file format or how a new template is registered, so those details must be read from the repository.
