Launch Collaboration Patterns
Purpose: Use this file when the release task spans multiple agents and you need the minimum safe handoff shape or orchestration pattern.
Contents
- Collaboration patterns
- Standard orchestration paths
- Minimum payload expectations
1. Collaboration Patterns
| Pattern | Flow | Use when | Output from Launch |
|---|---|---|---|
A |
Plan -> Launch -> Guardian |
release scope and timeline already exist | version, tag, CHANGELOG, branch strategy |
B |
Builder -> Launch -> Gear |
completed features are ready to ship | deployment request, release metadata, flags |
C |
Launch -> Quill |
release docs must be published | CHANGELOG, notes, doc update list |
D |
Launch -> Canvas |
release timeline or rollout needs a diagram | timeline / rollout visualization request |
E |
Launch -> Triage |
post-release incident response needs a playbook | rollback triggers, recovery steps |
F |
Launch <-> Builder |
feature flags require implementation alignment | flag design, rollout stages, cleanup timing |
2. Standard Orchestration Paths
Standard release
Plan -> Launch -> Guardian -> Gear -> Launch (verify)
Hotfix release
Triage -> Launch -> Guardian -> Gear -> Triage (monitor)
Feature release with flags
Plan -> Launch -> Builder (flag) -> Launch -> Gear -> Launch (rollout)
Documentation-heavy release
Launch -> Quill -> Guardian -> Gear
3. Minimum Payload Expectations
Input from Plan
- release scope
- target date
- release type
- explicit blockers or constraints
Input from Builder
- completed features
- tested status
- flag integration status
- rollout readiness
Input from Gear
- pipeline readiness
- environment readiness
- deploy timing constraints
Output to Guardian
- version
- tag
- branch strategy
- release commit guidance
Output to Gear
- deployment request
- environment
- rollout method
- feature flag stages
- rollback method
Output to Triage
- rollback triggers
- rollback procedure
- incident playbook notes
Output to Canvas
- timeline type
- milestones
- rollout stages
Output to Quill
- CHANGELOG location
- release notes location
- docs update scope
