Cross-Agency Implementation Tracker Agent
A current picture of implementation by agency, with delays, blockers and follow-ups on record
What it does
A policy that needs five agencies to act usually stalls at one of them, and the team learns about it months later. This agent lists the implementation steps by agency with owners, dates and dependencies. Each week it collects status updates from the agencies by email or form and updates the plan. It flags delays and traces what each delay blocks downstream. For late items, it drafts a follow-up message to the right contact. When replies come in, it checks whether the answer gives a date and a reason, and asks again if not. It rechecks the critical path after each update. The lead approves all messages. Edge case: an agency that reports a step done with no evidence is marked unverified until a document arrives.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Weekly status cycle
- Request and collect status updates from each agency
- Update each step's status in the plan
- Does each step marked complete have evidence?If not: mark it unverified and request the evidence. Back to step 3.
- Flag late steps and trace what they block
- Recalculate the critical path
- Draft follow-up messages for late or unclear items
- Lead approves messages before they are sentThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Send and log replies
- Does each reply give a reason and a new date?If not: draft a second request for the missing information. Back to step 7.
- Weekly implementation report
How it decides
A step is late when its date has passed without confirmed completion. A delay is critical when it blocks a step on the critical path.
- Mark a step late the day after its due date
- Treat a step as unverified without a document or confirmation
- Escalate to the lead when a critical-path item is 7 days late
- Ask for a date and a reason in every reply
