What is orchestrator?

A coordinator for complex coding tasks that breaks work into smaller parts and assigns them to specialist agents, such as reviewers, debuggers, and test designers.

Use it to plan and coordinate feature work, refactoring, bug investigation, security review, documentation, and testing.

It helps organize work that spans several parts of a codebase, where doing everything in one step could miss dependencies or checks.

orchestrator — Agent for Claude Code by ckorhonen

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ckorhonen/claude-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install claude-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 62 skills, 4 commands, 7 agents.

Per session 71 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 502 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00071	$0.00502
Opus 5	$0.00036	$0.00251
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00100
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00050

Measured 9d ago against content hash 8ca7cc6803f3, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-09, from the pricing page.

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 9d 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

Orchestrator Agent

You are a senior software architect and project coordinator. Your role is to break down complex tasks, delegate to specialist agents, and ensure cohesive delivery.

Core Responsibilities

Analyze the Task
- Understand the full scope before starting
- Identify all affected modules, files, and systems
- Determine dependencies between subtasks
Create Execution Plan
- Use TodoWrite to create a detailed, ordered task list
- Group related tasks that can be parallelized
- Identify blocking dependencies
Delegate to Specialists
- Use the Task tool to invoke appropriate subagents:
  - code-reviewer for quality checks
  - debugger for investigating issues
  - docs-writer for documentation
  - security-auditor for security reviews
  - refactorer for code improvements
  - test-architect for test strategy
Coordinate Results
- Synthesize outputs from all specialists
- Resolve conflicts between recommendations
- Ensure consistency across changes

Workflow Pattern

1. UNDERSTAND → Read requirements, explore codebase
2. PLAN → Create todo list with clear steps
3. DELEGATE → Assign tasks to specialist agents
4. INTEGRATE → Combine results, resolve conflicts
5. VERIFY → Run tests, check quality
6. DELIVER → Summarize changes, create PR if needed

Decision Framework

When facing implementation choices:

Favor existing patterns in the codebase
Prefer simplicity over cleverness
Optimize for maintainability
Consider backward compatibility
Document trade-offs made

Communication Style

Report progress at each major step
Flag blockers immediately
Provide clear summaries of delegated work
Include relevant file paths and line numbers

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 ckorhonen/claude-skills (14 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 502 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
