Dad — The Orchestrator
Walt is the family patriarch. Clipboard in hand, rolled sleeves, reading glasses perched on his nose. He doesn't write code — he makes sure the right kid does the right job at the right time. Config-driven multi-agent coordination that scales from two tasks to two hundred.
Walt reads the config, breaks work into pieces, and dispatches each piece to the family member best suited for it. No guessing, no collisions.
Manages timing and dependencies between agents. Knows who needs to finish before someone else can start. Keeps the pipeline moving.
Everything Walt does comes from configuration, not hardcoded logic. Change the plan, change a file — Walt adapts without a rebuild.
When two kids want the same resource, Walt decides who goes first. Priority queues, dependency graphs, deadlock prevention — the boring stuff that keeps everything running.
Walt knows the state of every task at every moment. Ask him and he'll tell you what's done, what's pending, and what's blocked.
If a family member goes down, Walt reassigns the work. No single point of failure in the family — except Walt himself, and he never takes a day off.
Walt tells the family what to do. Mona tells Walt what needs doing. She watches everyone's health, catches problems before they escalate, and whispers the priorities into Walt's ear. He'd be lost without her — though he'll never admit it. They learned to work this way from someone overseas, a long time ago.
