ashlr-orchestrate

ashlr-orchestrate is a command for coding agents from ashlrai/ashlr-plugin. It costs 35 tokens per session (970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns a written goal into a dependency graph, meaning a set of tasks arranged in the order they depend on one another, then previews and runs that graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview or test distributed task orchestration from a goal or YAML graph, subject to the stated Pro and Team limits.
Why use it?
It shows the planned work before execution and isolates task branches so one failure does not affect the others. In this MVP, the default executor only echoes stub messages, while the real executor produces a read-only plan summary and does not change files or run commands.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

ashlr-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 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.

Description

Experimental MVP — stub executor by default. Each node currently runs a Bun subprocess that echoes STUB-NODE: <id> rather than calling a real AI model. No actual work is performed on your codebase. Set ASHLR_ORCHESTRATE_REAL_LLM=1 to route nodes through the configured LLM provider (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or a Pro token with cloud-LLM access). The real executor is read-only in this MVP — it produces a plan summary but does not write files or run commands.

/ashlr-orchestrate takes a free-text goal, auto-expands it into a small task graph (DAG of explore/implement/verify nodes scoped to a directory), shows you a dry-run preview, and on confirmation walks the graph in dependency order. Each node runs in its own sandbox so a failure in one branch doesn't poison the rest. This is the Q1 '27 distributed-orchestration MVP — local-only, capped at 3 nodes on Pro and 10 on Team. Free is blocked with a pointer to /ashlr-upgrade.

The flow is:

  1. Tier check (free → blocked, helpful upgrade message).
  2. Either auto-expand the goal into a graph or load a graph you wrote / edited as YAML (--yaml <path>).
  3. Render the DAG to stdout as a dry-run preview (goal, scope, tier, node count, per-node description + deps + scope + model).
  4. Prompt y / n / e:
    • y runs it.
    • n cancels with exit 0.
    • e writes the current graph as YAML to ~/.ashlr/orchestrate-edit-<id>.yaml, prints the path, and exits so you can hand-edit + re-run with --yaml.
  5. After the run, print a summary: total wall-clock, total tokens, per-node ok/fail.

--auto-confirm skips the prompt. --dry-run runs the graph in dry-run mode (no real subprocesses spawn).

Usage examples

# Goal-only — auto-expand against the current directory
/ashlr-orchestrate "refactor the auth flow to add MFA"

# Goal + explicit scope (limits the agents to one subtree)
/ashlr-orchestrate "harden retry logic" --scope ./servers

# Run a hand-edited or pre-saved YAML graph
/ashlr-orchestrate --yaml ./.ashlr/my-graph.yaml --auto-confirm

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.
