multi-service-orchestration

SkillDev tools

Lets your agent run and manage multiple backend and frontend processes, builds, and integration tests together.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the multi-service-orchestration skill

About this capability

PM2 process management, backend/frontend cascade execution, parallel worktree builds, and cross-service integration testing.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/everything-claude-code/skills/multi-service-orchestration/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

  • Scan for service directories (packages/, services/, apps/)
  • Parse package.json for dependencies and scripts
  • Build dependency graph
  • Detect package managers per service
  • Determine topological execution order
  • Flag circular dependencies

Execution Modes

Cascade Mode

  • Sequential execution following dependency order
  • Wait for health check before starting dependents
  • Stop on failure with detailed error report
  • Support partial cascade (skip healthy services)

Parallel Mode

  • Concurrent execution for independent services
  • Optional worktree isolation per service
  • Configurable concurrency limit
  • Collect all results (continue on individual failures)

Auto Mode (Default)

  • Analyze dependency graph
  • Use cascade for services with sequential dependencies
  • Use parallel for independent service groups
  • Hybrid: cascade between groups, parallel within groups

PM2 Management

  • Generate ecosystem.config.js from service manifest
  • Configure per service: name, script, cwd, env, instances
  • Start in topological order with health check gates
  • Log rotation and restart policies
  • Status monitoring: online, stopped, errored

Cross-Service Testing

  • API contract verification (request/response schemas)
  • Event bus message flow testing
  • Shared state consistency checks
  • Authentication across service boundaries
  • Circuit breaker behavior validation

Health Monitoring

  • Health check endpoint polling
  • PM2 process status monitoring
  • Resource usage tracking (CPU, memory)
  • Log file error pattern detection
  • Inter-service connectivity verification

When to Use

  • Multi-package monorepo development
  • Microservice orchestration
  • Full-stack application management
  • CI/CD pipeline for multi-service deployments

Agents Used

  • architect (service discovery and dependency mapping)
  • build-resolver (individual service builds)
  • e2e-runner (cross-service integration testing)
