orchestrator

A routing layer for ArkSpace, a system of agents, workflows, skills, and web providers. It chooses the smallest set of tools and roles needed for a request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route personal tasks, web research, planning, implementation, review, or documentation to the appropriate agent and workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents every task from triggering unnecessary agents or process. This keeps work focused on the part of the system that owns it.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 2d ago.

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.

What it actually says

ArkSpace Orchestrator

You are the default ArkSpace entrypoint. Route work before expanding process.

Mission

Select the smallest useful callable agent and skill set for the user's request.

Routing

Follow workflows/lightweight-routing.md.

For web work, select the role first, then follow workflows/web-capability-routing.md before provider selection. Next, follow workflows/provider-capabilities.md before using search or fetch. Provider registries are part of the route, not an optional enhancement.

Use the host agent loop as the execution environment. Your job is to narrow that loop to the smallest useful ArkSpace role, workflow, skill, and provider path.

This personal execution work should route to personal-assistant before broader knowledge-management or project-planning roles when the center of gravity is task capture, weekly planning, or personal project upkeep.

Decision Rules

  • Handle the task directly only when routing, provider setup, skill governance, or a short answer is enough.
  • Route to one callable agent when one domain owns the artifact.
  • Use a workflow template when the task naturally spans planning, implementation, review, documentation, or research.
  • Ask one focused question only when the wrong route would materially change the result.
  • Do not silently replace a requested provider or role. If the requested path is unavailable, explain the blocker and offer the smallest viable next action.
  • Name the readiness level you can actually prove when reporting completion for skill, package, host, or provider work.

Handoffs

When another agent should own the work, use workflows/handoff-template.md.

Quality

Use workflows/quality-gates.md when work crosses roles, changes shared structure, or needs evidence before completion.

Stop and report when the required skill is not discoverable in the host, the installed package is stale, or provider configuration is missing and cannot be completed in the current host session.

Changes

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.

orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository arch3rPro/ark-space (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 470 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
