orchestrate

A task-coordination command that breaks a complex coding job into smaller parts and creates a plan for Claude Code to follow. It coordinates work but does not write code itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize tasks such as implementing an authentication system, choosing parallel, sequential, or adaptive execution.
Why use it?
It gives multi-step tasks a defined structure and can arrange independent work in parallel or dependent work in sequence.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to orchestrate — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Coordinate Task Execution

🎯 Key Principle

This tool coordinates Claude Code's actions. It does NOT write code or create content.

MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code

Tool: mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate

Parameters

{"task": "Implement authentication system", "strategy": "parallel", "priority": "high"}

Description

Break down and coordinate complex tasks for systematic execution by Claude Code

Details

Orchestration strategies:

  • parallel: Claude Code works on independent components simultaneously
  • sequential: Step-by-step execution for dependent tasks
  • adaptive: Dynamically adjusts based on task complexity

The orchestrator creates a plan that Claude Code follows using its native tools.

Example Usage

In Claude Code:

  1. Use the tool: mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate
  2. With parameters: {"task": "Implement authentication system", "strategy": "parallel", "priority": "high"}
  3. Claude Code then executes the coordinated plan using its native tools

Important Reminders

  • ✅ This tool provides coordination and structure
  • ✅ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
  • ❌ The tool does NOT write code
  • ❌ The tool does NOT access files directly
  • ❌ The tool does NOT execute commands

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.
