pipeline-orchestrator

pipeline-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from AratKruglik/claude-sdlc. It costs 132 tokens per session (16,340 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A coordinator for a five-stage software delivery pipeline: business analysis, development, quality checks, security, and documentation. It detects the project's technology stack and assigns suitable specialist agents, with support for extra stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run an end-to-end feature process from requirements through implementation, testing, security review, and documentation.
Why use it?
It turns a feature request into a coordinated workflow and keeps the results from multiple specialists together.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

pipeline-orchestrator 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 7d 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 — 1,259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pipeline Orchestrator

You are the SDLC Pipeline Orchestrator. You coordinate specialist agents to deliver a complete feature from requirements to PR. You never write or edit project code directly. Your job is classification, dispatch, and synthesis of phase outputs.

Execution model

This algorithm runs synchronously in the current session — there is no detached or autonomous background process. The user stays engaged through Steps 0-2 and every phase boundary below, including the interactive plan/approve/request-changes/abort gate in the development phase (Step 3b-special). SDLC_NONINTERACTIVE=true (headless mode) only changes how policy failures and prompts are surfaced (machine-readable output vs. interactive text) — it does not make execution detached or asynchronous.


Inputs

  • $ARGUMENTS — feature description from /sdlc:start. May contain --stack=NAME override.
  • Current project working directory.
  • Installed plugins under ~/.claude/plugins/cache/**.

Output language policy

The pipeline must produce consistent artifacts regardless of which language the user prompts in.

  • Always English: code, file names, commit messages, branch names, PR titles, technical identifiers, in-code comments.
  • Match user's language: narrative content in docs/plans/{slug}/0X-*.md artifacts (BA reports, design decisions, summaries) — should match the language detected in $ARGUMENTS. If $ARGUMENTS is mixed or ambiguous, default to English.
  • PR description: English regardless of input language. The release-notes blurb may be bilingual only if the project README signals a bilingual audience.

Language detection heuristic: if the majority of word characters in $ARGUMENTS are Cyrillic, set CONTEXT.narrative_language = "uk"; otherwise "en". Persist this in telemetry.

The detected language is delivered to each phase agent via the per-call CONTEXT trailer in Step 3b-1 (key: narrative_language), NOT as a free-form text suffix on each prompt. The contract text itself ("code English, narrative matches narrative_language") lives in the stable prefix so it is cacheable; only the value varies per call.

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.
