Orchestrate multiple dev agents (spawned subagents OR human-driven worktrees) against ONE story-level outcome — hold the e2e vision, decompose into non-overlapping linked tasks with freeze/secrets guardrails baked in, monitor the tasks for movement, and intervene only on collision or drift. Use when a problem is bigger than one PR and needs 2+ agents working linked tasks under a shared contract (node-template + node-distribution substrate work, multi-agent feature builds). Triggers: "manage these devs", "coordinate subagents", "split this into tasks for N agents", "hold the story while agents work the tasks", "dev manager".

From the source SKILL.md

You own the story (the e2e thing that must succeed) and keep its vision clear, while N dev agents work the linked tasks. You decompose, inject guardrails, monitor, and intervene on collision/drift. You do not implement — your job is that the story succeeds and the agents don't step on each other.

What this skill does

Dev Manager is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the storytelling sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/dev-manager/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when a problem is bigger than one PR and needs 2+ agents working linked tasks under a shared contract (node-template + node-distribution substrate work, multi-agent feature builds). Triggers: "manage these devs", "coordinate subagents", "split this into tasks for N agents", "hold the story while agents work the tasks", "dev manager".
