orchestra-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

orchestra-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from orchestra-hq/orchestra-skills. It costs 3,148 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to two collections of instructions for Orchestra, a data-pipeline orchestrator, and for moving pipelines from Dagster, Prefect, or Airflow into Orchestra. It explains how to choose the right skill and where shared reference material lives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Diagnosing or fixing pipeline runs, writing Orchestra pipeline YAML, setting up dbt Slim CI or data-quality checks, managing account health, and migrating pipelines from other orchestrators.
Why use it?
It helps agents select the correct workflow and prevents duplicated pipeline rules from drifting apart across the collections.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PostToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is orchestra-hq/orchestra-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on orchestra-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

orchestra-skills AGENTS.md 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent guide — orchestra-skills

This repository is documentation and workflow instructions for AI agents, not an application runtime. It is distributed as a plugin marketplace with two independently-installable plugins, both listed in the manifests at the repo root (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json):

  • orchestra (skills/orchestra/) — diagnose/fix/triage pipeline runs, author pipeline YAML, dbt Slim CI, data-quality tests, account health.
  • migrate-to-orchestra (skills/migrate-to-orchestra/) — convert pipelines from another orchestrator (Dagster, Prefect, and Airflow) into Orchestra pipeline YAML.

Each plugin is a single source of truth for its own skills — no generated copies. Shared Orchestra pipeline/schema material lives under skills/orchestra/references/orchestra/, inside the orchestra plugin bundle; migrate-to-orchestra skills should link to it for schema/validation rules rather than re-deriving their own copy, to avoid two sources of truth drifting apart.

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.
