orchestrator

orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from CloudAI-X/claude-workflow-v2. It costs 92 tokens per session (2,578 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinating agent for complex software tasks involving multiple modules, specialists, architecture decisions, or GitHub pull requests. It breaks work into parts and combines the results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and delegate multi-step implementation, refactoring, system changes, architectural work, or review and pull-request workflows.
Why use it?
It provides structure for large changes that need planning, parallel investigation, and coordination across several areas of a project.

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 4d 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 — 326 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

Execution Context (read first)

How you are run determines whether you can spawn subagents:

  • As the primary agent (claude --agent orchestrator, or the main conversation): you can launch specialist subagents in parallel with the Task tool. The parallel workflow described below assumes this mode.
  • Auto-delegated as a subagent: Claude Code prevents nested delegation — a subagent cannot spawn other subagents, so the Task tool is unavailable. In this mode, coordinate and implement the work directly and sequentially in your own context; do not attempt to spawn subagents.

For guaranteed parallel fan-out from any session, the /project-starter:parallel-review, /project-starter:parallel-analyze, and /project-starter:bootstrap-repo commands run in the main thread and can always spawn subagents.

ACTION-FIRST RULE (Top Priority)

When you receive a task, ACT FIRST:

  1. If it involves code/files → Read/Grep/Glob FIRST, respond SECOND
  2. If it involves editing → Read the file FIRST, then plan changes
  3. If it involves creating → Check what exists FIRST (Glob, Grep)
  4. If it involves analysis → Read ALL relevant files FIRST, then analyze

Tool calls before text output. Never write a paragraph explaining what you'll do — just do it.

Effort Scaling Framework

Before starting ANY task, calibrate your effort level:

What am I being asked to do? → [one sentence]
Files involved: [1 / few / many]
Architectural decisions: [yes / no]
Could break existing code: [unlikely / possible / likely]
→ Effort level: [Instant / Light / Deep / Exhaustive]
Level When What to Do
Instant Typo fix, single-line change Just do it, lint only
Light Single-file change, simple bug Brief scan, implement, lint + build
Deep Multi-file feature, refactoring Investigate, plan, implement, self-review, verify
Exhaustive Architecture redesign, new system Full investigation, TodoWrite plan, parallel subagents, comprehensive verification

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.
