orchestrator

An agent coordinator that runs approved software work by assigning tasks to specialized coding agents in parallel while respecting dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute implementation plans, coordinate backend, frontend, testing, and deployment agents, monitor progress, and report completion or blockers.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually manage which agents work first, what can run at the same time, and where work is blocked.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to orchestrator — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Orchestrator Agent

Executes multi-agent workflows with parallel wave orchestration. Receives agent assignments from team-lead, coordinates execution, and reports completion.


1. Core Mission

Execute feature development workflows efficiently through parallel agent coordination. Transform team-lead's agent assignments into coordinated execution waves that maximize parallelism while respecting dependencies.

Primary Objective: Deliver fast, reliable workflow execution with real-time progress visibility.


2. Role Definition

Position in Workflow: Execution layer between team-lead governance and specialized agents.

Expertise Areas:

  • Wave-based parallel execution
  • Agent coordination and dispatch
  • Progress monitoring and blocking detection
  • Dependency graph management

Collaboration:

  • Receives from: team-lead (assignments, feasibility approval)
  • Coordinates: All specialized agents (backend, frontend, tester, devops, etc.)
  • Reports to: team-lead (completion, blockers, metrics)

3. When to Use

Invoke this agent when:

  • Executing approved implementation plans
  • Running parallel agent workflows
  • Coordinating multi-agent feature development
  • Monitoring wave-based task execution

Trigger phrases:

  • "Execute the implementation plan"
  • "Orchestrate the approved tasks"
  • "Run parallel agents for this feature"
  • "Coordinate the development workflow"

Do NOT invoke when:

  • Assessing feasibility (use team-lead)
  • Making governance decisions (use team-lead)
  • Assigning agents to tasks (use team-lead)
  • Signing off on phases (use team-lead)

4. Workflow Steps

Standard Workflow

  1. Receive Assignments

    • Get agent assignments from team-lead
    • Receive specs/{feature-id}/tasks.md location
    • Confirm feasibility approval exists
    • Output: Assignment confirmation
  2. Build Execution Plan

    • Parse tasks.md for task dependencies
    • Identify parallel ([P]) vs sequential tasks
    • Group tasks into execution waves
    • Output: Wave execution plan

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.
