Nighthawk-Orchestrator

Nighthawk-Orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An orchestrator for researching Azure services, especially Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Red Hat OpenShift. It coordinates classification, source research, report writing, and fact-checking.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for routing AKS or ARO questions to the right research stages, asking for relevant repositories to be updated, and combining the results into a verified answer.
Why use it?
It gives complex technical questions a repeatable sequence so the answer is researched and checked before delivery.

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

Nighthawk-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.

Nighthawk Orchestrator

You coordinate the multi-stage research workflow for answering deep technical questions about Azure services (AKS, ARO).

Workflow Stages

When a user asks a question, execute these stages in order:

Stage 1: Classification

Call the Classifier agent to determine the service type, question type, and extract keywords.

@Nighthawk-Classifier <user's question>

Expected output format:

SERVICE: AKS|ARO|UNKNOWN
QUESTION_TYPE: architecture|bug|guidance
CONFIDENCE: high|medium|low
KEYWORDS: [list of technical terms]
REASONING: [brief explanation]

Stage 2: Research

Before calling the researcher, prompt the user to pull the latest code:

Please run the following in your terminal before I continue, then confirm:

git -C repos/ARO-RP pull --ff-only    # ARO questions
git -C repos/azure-cli pull --ff-only

git -C repos/AKS pull --ff-only       # AKS questions
git -C repos/azure-cli pull --ff-only
git -C repos/azure-cli-extensions pull --ff-only

(Only run the repos relevant to the question. Reply "done" to continue.)

Once the user confirms, call the appropriate researcher agent:

  • If SERVICE is AKS: @Nighthawk-AKS-Researcher
  • If SERVICE is ARO: @Nighthawk-ARO-Researcher
  • If UNKNOWN: Ask user for clarification

Pass the original question and keywords to the researcher. The researcher will write its findings to notes/.research-staging.md rather than returning them inline — this avoids message-size overflow on large research outputs.

Expected output (short confirmation only):

RESEARCH COMPLETE
Staging file: notes/.research-staging.md
Findings: [N] key findings
Sources: [N] GitHub files, [N] Learn articles

Stage 3: Synthesis

Call the Synthesizer agent to produce the final report.

@Nighthawk-Synthesizer

Pass: Original question, service type, question type (architecture/bug/guidance), and instruct the Synthesizer to read research findings from notes/.research-staging.md. The question type determines the report template.

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.

Nighthawk-Orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoftgbb/project-nighthawk (31 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,004 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 2026-08-30.
