orchestrator

orchestrator is a cursor rule for Cursor from scut-jol/pocket-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (137 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of conventions for orchestrators, which are programs that coordinate agents or workflow steps. It defines how structured tools, event-driven state machines, and user-interface event fields should be organized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing orchestration tools, workflow states, events, or the plan-execute-review process. It points developers toward shared machine factories and the required communication channels.
Why use it?
It keeps workflow coordination consistent and avoids duplicated or incompatible state-machine code. Optional event fields also help preserve compatibility with older callers.

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

orchestrator 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Orchestrators / FSM

  • Structured tools (submit_plan, save_plan, select_skill, …) use forced tool calling; return stop phrases to end sub-agent turns.
  • PER channels: system / card / stream — see plan_execute_review.py module docstring.
  • New FSM states/events via create_*_machine() factories; don't duplicate inline state machines.
  • New UIEvent fields must be optional for backward compatibility.
Changes

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.
