orchestrate

orchestrate is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 0 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for setting up a coordination pattern that guides how Claude Code handles a complex task. It uses structures such as mesh, hierarchical, ring, or star, but does not create actual coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a swarm for research, development, or other complex work, with options for parallel or sequential execution, automatic agent creation, memory, and GitHub integration.
Why use it?
It gives a large task an organized structure and can define how many agents may be involved and how work should be carried out.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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 yesterday.

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

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.
