orchestrate

A coordination skill for running Hardproof, a software-work process covering discovery, design, planning, implementation, review, verification, delivery, and learning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or resume a Hardproof run, load the correct stage instructions, manage durable records, and move work between stages.
Why use it?
It keeps the work stages, decisions, tasks, evidence, risks, and approvals recorded so completion can be checked against current proof.

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 2d 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

Orchestrate Hardproof

Purpose

Turn a rough software request into an inspectable result whose completion claim is backed by current evidence.

When to use

Use when starting, resuming, or coordinating the full active Hardproof protocol rather than performing one stage in isolation.

Inputs

Begin with hardproof_run status, the injected run context, profile, blockers, durable records, current workspace, and required stage skill.

Procedure

  1. Load the stage-specific hardproof:* skill named by run context.
  2. Keep state in Hardproof records rather than relying on conversation history.
  3. Match ceremony to Quick, Standard, or Critical policy without weakening verification.
  4. Use hardproof_record and hardproof_task for durable work products.
  5. Request every stage change through hardproof_transition; the service, not prose, decides whether gates pass.
  6. Use human commands for protected approvals and waivers.

Required records

Maintain the artifacts, decisions, tasks, review, evidence, risks, approvals, completion report, and learning decision required by the selected profile.

Exit criteria

The run reaches COMPLETE only after every enforced gate passes against current durable state.

Failure modes

Pause on missing authority or unsafe boundaries. Return to the appropriate earlier stage when facts, design, code, review, or evidence change.

Verification

Inspect status and evidence with hardproof_report. Treat missing, failed, indeterminate, or stale evidence as incomplete.

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.
