The Orchestration View is your mission control for managing multiple Claude agents running in parallel. It displays a real-time dependency graph, live agent status cards, and pipeline progress — all in one view.

How It Works

Switch to Orchestration View from the board toolbar (the Workflow icon). The view is divided into three sections:
1

Dependency Graph

An interactive SVG graph shows all tasks as nodes and dependencies as directed edges. Nodes are color-coded by status: gray (backlog), amber (in progress), green (done), red (failed). Running tasks pulse with an animated progress bar.
2

Live Agent Cards

Each running Claude agent gets a card showing the task title, model (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), live token counter, elapsed time, and a stop button. Click a card to open the terminal.

Pipeline Stats

A wave progress bar shows execution groups — Wave 0 (no dependencies), Wave 1 (depends on Wave 0), etc. Aggregate stats show running count, queued count, total tokens, and cost.

Wave Execution

Tasks are grouped into waves based on their dependency structure:
Wave 0: [Tasks with no dependencies]     → run in parallel
Wave 1: [Tasks depending on Wave 0]      → start when Wave 0 completes
Wave 2: [Tasks depending on Wave 0 + 1]  → start when deps complete
Each wave is shown as a column in the dependency graph. Tasks within the same wave can run simultaneously up to the project’s max_concurrent limit.

Graph Interaction

  • Hover a node to highlight its direct dependency edges
  • Click a node to open task details
  • Non-highlighted nodes dim to 50% opacity for focus
  • Running nodes show an animated progress indicator
Set your project’s max concurrent agents to 3+ to see the full power of wave execution. With 5 independent tasks in Wave 0, they all start simultaneously.

Auto-Refresh

The graph automatically refreshes when:
  • A task changes status (backlog → in_progress → done)
  • Dependencies are added or removed
  • A new task is created
The view listens to real-time task:updated events for instant updates.
