📖About & Usage

About

Step Execution Orchestrator dispatches jobs for its owner, Merlin. It reads each job, matches the required role—such as developer, designer, or tester—to the appropriate executor droid, then launches that executor and reports what happened.

It builds the executor’s prompt from the task, success criteria, context, and earlier retry feedback. It also records status, output, errors, and resource use, but does not plan, retry, or recover failed work itself. Its exact name is unique, although it belongs to the reusable planner family: 14 planner droids run across Elrond and Merlin. It is pure software and makes no Claude calls.
