orchestration-patterns

orchestration-patterns is an agent for Claude Code from thapaliyabikendra/ai-artifacts. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to coordinating multiple specialized agents to complete one larger task. It explains parallel execution, where independent agents work at the same time and their results are combined afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide when to fan tasks out to several agents, gather their results, and bring those results back together for a final decision or deliverable.
Why use it?
It helps an orchestrating agent choose a workable structure for research, reviews, and other multi-part tasks. Parallel work can reduce waiting when the subtasks do not depend on one another.

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

orchestration-patterns 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.

Orchestration Patterns for Multi-Agent Systems

Overview

The orchestrator (master agent) coordinates specialized sub-agents using different patterns based on task requirements. This document covers the two primary orchestration strategies and when to use each.


Pattern 1: Parallel Execution (Fan-Out/Fan-In)

When to Use

  • Multiple independent analyses needed
  • Time-sensitive tasks that can run concurrently
  • Information gathering phase before decision-making
  • No dependencies between sub-agent tasks

Example Use Cases

1. Requirements Analysis Phase

Orchestrator spawns:
├── product-manager     → Analyzes business requirements
├── backend-architect   → Explores technical feasibility
└── security-engineer   → Identifies security concerns

Consolidation: Combined analysis report with recommendations

2. Pre-Implementation Review

Orchestrator spawns:
├── abp-code-reviewer   → Reviews existing backend patterns
├── security-engineer   → Checks for vulnerabilities
└── qa-engineer        → Analyzes test coverage

Consolidation: Go/no-go decision with action items

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.

orchestration-patterns is an agent published in the GitHub repository thapaliyabikendra/ai-artifacts (24 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,462 tokens. 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.
