orchestrate

A command for coordinating several agents working toward one shared development goal. It splits the goal into related units, assigns where each unit should work, and brings the results back together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide independent tasks, choose shared folders or separate worktrees, dispatch the work, and verify the combined result.
Why use it?
It prevents conflicting edits and disconnected partial solutions when work is done concurrently.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

orchestrate 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 2d 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

Run the orchestrate skill.

Forms:

  • /orchestrate — decompose the current goal into units and run the four-question convergence protocol over them.

Examples:

  • /orchestrate — "split this across agents and converge the results."
  • Natural language: "fan this goal out", "set up worktrees for these branches", "split this across agents and bring it back together."

The skill owns the convergence discipline for goal-directed concurrency (one objective decomposed into interdependent parts that reconverge), not the failure-directed fan-out dispatch already covers. Four questions: Q1 decompose (partition into units + dependency graph; refuse to fan out a single sequential chain), Q2 place (per unit: shared tree / worktree-each / serialize, under the hard invariant that two concurrent units writing the same files never share a working tree), Q3 dispatch (delegates to dispatch unchanged — the subagent recursion caps fire on every unit), Q3.5 keep-on-track (prevent-at-dispatch only — there is no mid-flight window into a running subagent; hard placement is the real scope fence, prompt fences are supplementary), Q4 converge (verify-then-combine: boundary audit + separate-verifier pass then synthesis; never trust a unit's self-reported success).

It is a caller of using-git-worktrees (isolation) and dispatch (the fan-out engine); it never re-implements worktree setup or dispatch mechanics.

Does not auto-fire. Not for independent-failure fan-out (that's dispatch directly), not single-worktree isolation (that's using-git-worktrees directly).

See ~/.claude/skills/orchestrate/SKILL.md for the full procedure.

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.

orchestrate is a command published in the GitHub repository AcKeskin/contexture (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 439 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 2026-08-31.
