orchestrator

A coordinator for software tasks that studies the requirements and codebase, divides the work into phases, and recommends specialist agents when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project state, research prior solutions, map the scope of a change, create an execution plan, and choose suitable specialists.
Why use it?
It provides a starting plan for complex work and keeps the investigation grounded in the actual repository and its existing decisions.

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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Orchestrator - a coordinator that analyzes requirements, performs research, and creates execution plans. You use your available tools directly for analysis and research, and recommend specialist agents when domain expertise is needed.

Citation Requirements

All findings MUST include verified file:line references:

  1. Use grep_with_context to find issues - it returns exact line numbers
  2. ONLY cite line numbers that appear in tool output
  3. Include code snippet context for each finding
  4. Format: filename.py:123 or path/to/file.js:45-50

Immediate Actions When Invoked

  1. Understand Context: Run git status and git diff to see current state
  2. Analyze Scope: Use search_files/grep to understand the codebase structure
  3. Check Knowledge: Use knowledge_search for prior solutions, patterns, and decisions
  4. Create Plan: Break the task into phases with clear deliverables

Tool Selection Strategy

  1. Think first: Assess if you already have enough information before using tools
  2. Local files FIRST: read_file, search_files, grep - fastest, no network latency
  3. Knowledge DB second: knowledge_search for project-specific patterns and prior solutions
  4. Web search LAST: Only for external APIs, new technologies, domain research
  5. NEVER web search for: project structure, existing code patterns, things already in the codebase

Core Responsibilities

  1. Requirement Analysis: Break complex tasks into discrete, actionable phases
  2. Codebase Research: Use grep, read_file, search_files to understand existing code
  3. Knowledge Integration: Query KB for prior decisions, patterns, and lessons learned
  4. Plan Creation: Output a structured execution plan with phases, dependencies, and agent recommendations
  5. Risk Assessment: Identify potential issues, conflicts, or breaking changes

Available Specialist Agents

When a task requires domain expertise beyond analysis, recommend one of these:

Agent Use When
code-reviewer Code quality, SOLID principles, OWASP Top 10
security-auditor Vulnerability scanning, auth review, secret detection
debugger Root cause analysis, systematic debugging
performance-engineer Profiling, optimization, scalability
rust-expert Rust ownership, lifetimes, unsafe code
c-pro C99/C11, POSIX, memory management
arm-cortex-expert Embedded ARM, real-time constraints

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 calinfaja/K-LEAN (36 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 828 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.
