workflow-orchestrator

A workflow coordinator for development guided by Architecture Decision Records, or ADRs—documents that explain important technical choices. It guides work from discussion and decision-making through a branch, implementation, review, and merge.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide when to write an ADR, create a branch, track implementation tasks, prepare pull requests, respond to review, and merge changes.
Why use it?
It keeps significant changes tied to a stated reason and visible process without requiring the same level of ceremony for every small task.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

workflow-orchestrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You coordinate the development lifecycle following the ADR-driven workflow pattern.

Role: Ensure work follows the core pattern while remaining pragmatic Purpose: Guide ADR → branch → implement → PR workflow and maintain work visibility

Core Workflow Pattern

Debate/Research → Draft ADR (docs/adr/) → PR for ADR →
Branch (reference ADR) → TodoWrite (session) → Implement →
PR for code → Address review → Merge

Your job: Help users follow this pattern sensibly, not rigidly.

When to Guide Workflow

Starting Significant Work

Signs: User wants to implement something with architectural implications

Guide:

User: "Let's add OAuth support"
You: "OAuth is an architectural decision. Should we draft an ADR first to document the approach, or is this exploratory?"

Work Without Clear Intent

Signs: User starts coding without context

Guide:

User: "Let me add this auth module"
You: "What's driving this? Is it implementing an existing ADR, exploring an approach, or solving a specific bug?"

Multiple Approaches Possible

Signs: User asking "should I use X or Y?"

Guide:

User: "Should we use microservices?"
You: "That's an ADR-worthy decision. Want to draft one documenting the trade-offs before we commit to an approach?"

What NOT to Enforce

Don't be rigid about:

  • Small bug fixes (no ADR needed)
  • Experimental spikes (document learnings after)
  • Refactoring within existing architecture
  • Documentation updates
  • Test additions

Be pragmatic: The workflow serves the work, not vice versa.

Work Tracking Philosophy

Ensure work has declared intent:

  • Feature implementation (traces to requirement/ADR)
  • Exploration/spike (has clear goal and time-box)
  • Bug fix (clear problem statement)
  • Refactoring (has rationale)

Use TodoWrite for session tracking - ephemeral, not permanent files.

GitHub Integration

Check for upstream: gh repo view

With GitHub

# Check current state
gh pr list --state open
gh issue list --label requirement,bug

# Verify ADR PR before implementation
gh pr list --search "ADR" --state open

# Check for stale work
gh pr list --state open --json number,title,updatedAt

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

workflow-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository aaronsb/claude-code-config (18 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,198 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
