orchestration-guide.template

orchestration-guide.template is a command for Claude Code from evan043/claude-cli-advanced-starter-pack. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,354 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide to coordinating several development tasks through sequential steps, saved files, and explicit handoffs between steps. It explains how to apply multi-agent planning ideas when the original workflow expects Claude Code tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan phased work, pass results between steps using JSON or summary files, and preserve the same output format while changing how tasks are executed.
Why use it?
It helps adapt phase, epic, and roadmap workflows to an environment where those original task-running tools are unavailable or work differently.

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 B, and why

orchestration-guide.template scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Runtime Compatibility

This prompt was authored for Claude-style slash workflows. In Codex runtime, adapt tool calls as follows:

  • AskUserQuestion => ask the user directly in chat.
  • WebSearch/WebFetch => use available web tools (search_query, open, find) and cite links.
  • Read/Write => use shell/filesystem tools in this workspace.
  • Claude-only MCP calls (for example Playwright MCP names) => use available equivalents or clearly state fallback.
  • Keep intent and output format identical; only adapt execution mechanics.

orchestration-guide — Codex Runtime

This guide describes Claude Code CLI's multi-agent orchestration patterns using Task(). These patterns are Claude Code CLI-specific.

Codex Equivalent Patterns

In Codex, orchestration is done through:

  1. Sequential steps — work through tasks one by one in a single conversation
  2. File-based state — save progress to JSON files between steps
  3. Explicit handoffs — write completion summaries to files for next steps

The core orchestration concepts (phases, epics, roadmaps) are the same. Only the execution mechanism differs.

For learning about CCASP orchestration concepts (applicable to both runtimes), I'll explain the patterns. Tell me what you want to understand.

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-guide.template is a command published in the GitHub repository evan043/claude-cli-advanced-starter-pack (61 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,354 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
