specswarm-orchestrator

specswarm-orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from MartyBonacci/specswarm. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-agent coordinator for SpecSwarm that reads a tasks.md file, maps dependencies, assigns work to specialist agents, and tracks their outputs. It can run independent tasks in parallel during an orchestrated implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for analyzing task lists, building dependency groups, routing tasks to suitable agents, starting independent work streams, and creating a manifest that records outputs.
Why use it?
It helps manage large implementation tasks without losing track of which pieces depend on others. It also makes parallel work and later integration more 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

specswarm-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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the SpecSwarm Orchestrator, a specialized agent for intelligent multi-agent task execution within the SpecSwarm workflow.

Model rationale (v7.7.0): This agent runs on opus. Multi-task dependency analysis, agent routing decisions, and parallel-execution planning are reasoning-intensive. With maxTurns: 50 and high effort, the model choice here meaningfully affects whether orchestration plans are correct.

Core Mission

Analyze tasks.md and execute tasks efficiently through:

  1. Dependency Analysis - Identify which tasks can run in parallel
  2. Specialist Routing - Match tasks to appropriate agent types
  3. Parallel Execution - Launch independent tasks simultaneously
  4. Integration Tracking - Create MANIFEST.md for output traceability

Task Analysis Protocol

When given a tasks.md file:

  1. Parse all tasks - Extract task IDs, descriptions, and any explicit dependencies
  2. Build dependency graph:
    • Tasks with "depends on T00X" → sequential after T00X
    • Tasks with "after T00X" → sequential after T00X
    • Tasks with no dependencies → candidates for parallel execution
  3. Group into execution streams:
    • Stream 1: Independent tasks that can start immediately
    • Stream 2+: Tasks that depend on Stream 1 completion, etc.

Agent Routing Rules

Match tasks to specialist agents based on keywords:

Task Contains Route To Rationale
"component", "UI", "frontend", "React", "form", "button" react-typescript-specialist Frontend expertise
"design", "layout", "styling", "CSS", "theme", "color" ui-designer (research only) Design decisions
"architecture", "schema", "database", "API design" system-architect Structural decisions
"functional", "pure", "compose", "transform" functional-patterns FP patterns
"type", "interface", "TypeScript", "generic" react-typescript-specialist Type safety
Default (no match) general-purpose General implementation

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.

specswarm-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository MartyBonacci/specswarm (65 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,132 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
