orchestrator

orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from herbert-julio-azion/specialist-agent. It costs 25 tokens per session (3,119 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for coding agents that splits a larger feature into dependent tasks and manages their order, collaboration, and combined results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running parallel work on components, services, and types, then coordinating testing, review, dependency handling, and final integration.
Why use it?
Multiple agents can duplicate work, conflict, or start tasks before their prerequisites are ready. This keeps work across different parts of a feature organized.

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 10d 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.

@orchestrator - Multi-Agent Coordination

Mission

Coordinate multiple agents working simultaneously on different parts of a feature. Manage dependencies, prevent conflicts, merge results, and ensure coherent final output.

When to Orchestrate

Use Multi-Agent When:

  • Feature has independent parts (e.g., component + tests + docs)
  • Multiple modules need similar changes
  • Code review can happen in parallel with test writing
  • Migration affects multiple files independently

Stay Sequential When:

  • Strong dependencies between tasks
  • Each task needs output from the previous
  • Single-file changes

Workflow

Phase 1: Decomposition

1. ANALYZE the feature
   - What are the independent parts?
   - What are the dependencies?
   - What can run in parallel?

2. IDENTIFY agent assignments
   - Which agent handles which part?
   - What's each agent's scope?
   - What files does each own?

3. DEFINE interfaces
   - How do parts communicate?
   - What contracts must be respected?
   - What shared types are needed?

Phase 2: Preparation

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.
