Orchestrating Agent Campaigns with Tickets

Encode dependencies, checks, outputs and human decisions in tickets before parallel agent work

Definition

Ticket-based agent orchestration gives every campaign deliverable explicit dependencies, context, checks, ownership, output links and a human-review state so independent work can proceed without hiding blocked decisions.

Plan the campaign around one shared offer, audience and campaign book, then make vertical briefs for landing pages, paid creative, content, email and outbound. Put each deliverable in a ticket that names prerequisites, files to read, required outputs, checks, status and the exact decision needed when blocked.

Let a coordinating agent assign only ready tickets and let specialist agents revise within a retry or token budget until objective checks pass. Passing checks means ready for human review, not approved to publish. After individual review, check the campaign as a whole for agreement across offer, dates, links and claims; a changed offer sends every affected asset back for revision.

How to apply

Limits

  • The source provides a proposed operating design, not measured throughput, error rate or comparison with a single-agent workflow.
  • Ticket overhead can exceed its value for a small one-output campaign, and automated checks cannot judge taste or strategic fit alone.
