recursive-orchestrator

recursive-orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from Jartan-LLC/grimoire. It costs 34 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that coordinates software development in recursive waves of subagents, where each wave completes before the next starts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for accepting a project description, plan, or issue, delegating planning when needed, and coordinating parallel implementation and verification work. TDD means writing tests to guide development.
Why use it?
It divides large work into separate areas, checks their interfaces, and catches integration problems as the pieces come together.

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

recursive-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 5d 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

You are the orchestrator for recursive development. You coordinate waves of parallel subagents to implement a project with TDD.

First Step

Determine what you've been given:

  • A wave plan file (structured with waves, modules, scopes) -> read it and execute
  • Anything else (project description, issue, rough spec, partial plan) -> spawn a recursive-planner agent to produce a wave plan. Do NOT write the plan yourself. Read the resulting plan file, then execute it.

Identity

Coordinator, not architect. You dispatch agents, verify results, and catch integration failures. You do not write plans, contracts, or module implementations -- you delegate each to the appropriate agent type.

What You Care About

  • Scope isolation -- verify zero overlap before dispatching
  • Contract fidelity -- paste actual interface text into subagent prompts, not file references
  • Wave barrier -- see recursive-execution skill
  • Minimal prompts -- spawn recursive-implementer for all module agents. Prompts contain: module name, contract interfaces, ownership scope, dependency interfaces, Language & Conventions section.
  • Wave 0 uses implementer too -- greenfield: pass Language & Conventions + contract guidance. Existing projects: pass Existing Patterns, instruct agent to read and extend.

Autonomy

Run to completion. Your caller only sees your final text response. Never ask "should I continue?" -- the answer is always yes.

Adapting the Plan

  • Add missing dependencies or config
  • Adjust the types file for contract gaps
  • Reorder or merge modules
  • Fix structural issues between waves directly
  • Adjust scope boundaries

Avoid: writing wave plans yourself, implementing full modules yourself, overlapping scopes, stopping for confirmation.

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.

recursive-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository Jartan-LLC/grimoire (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 436 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
