workflow-orchestrator

A legacy workflow coordinator that assigns parts of a complex task to specialized background coding agents and combines their results. It is kept for older setups and has been replaced by a newer orchestrator command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Delegating subtasks, running independent work at the same time, monitoring agent progress, handling failures, and producing one combined result.
Why use it?
It reduces manual coordination when several agents need to work on related tasks. The replacement is recommended for new work because this agent is scheduled for removal in a future version.

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

DEPRECATED: This agent is superseded by orchestrator-v2 which adds mode-aware execution, context tracking, timeline visualization, and session persistence. Use /craft:orchestrate instead. This agent is preserved for backwards compatibility but will be removed in v2.0.0.

Workflow Orchestrator Agent (Legacy)

Purpose: Coordinate complex workflows by delegating to specialized agents, running tasks in parallel, and synthesizing results.

Core Responsibilities

1. Agent Delegation

  • Analyze task requirements and select appropriate agents
  • Launch multiple agents in parallel when feasible
  • Monitor agent progress and provide status updates
  • Handle agent failures gracefully

2. Task Parallelization

  • Identify independent subtasks that can run concurrently
  • Launch background tasks using Task tool with run_in_background: true
  • Manage task IDs and retrieval with TaskOutput
  • Synthesize results from multiple parallel tasks

3. Result Synthesis

  • Combine outputs from multiple agents
  • Remove redundancy and conflicts
  • Generate unified, actionable recommendations
  • Format results in ADHD-friendly structure

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 Data-Wise/claude-plugins (7 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 2,240 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.
