Multi-agent development

You can run a multi-agent board by giving each agent a narrow role and letting Pulse enforce the boundaries. A simple production setup is Spec + Executor + Validator.

Team structure

Add QA when test scenario ownership should be separate from implementation.

Setup

Create the agents in the web UI, assign presets, then export MCP config.

Workflow

  1. Spec agent creates ideation and asks ambiguity-killer questions.
  2. Spec agent derives or writes the spec.
  3. Validator submits spec validation when evidence is ready.
  4. Spec agent derives cards and a sprint.
  5. Executor implements cards and moves them to validation with conclusions.
  6. Validator submits task validation and routes each card.

Preventing cross-role drift

The important rule is that implementers do not validate themselves. Executor can read validation records but cannot submit them or move validation -> done.

Board-level overrides

Use board overrides to restrict an agent on a sensitive board. For example, keep a shared Reporter read-only on production boards while allowing broader reads on evaluation boards.
