orchestrate

A coordinator for complex tasks that need several specialist coding agents working on different parts of the same problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps coordinate work on web apps, APIs, databases, full-stack projects, debugging, security reviews, and user-interface tasks.
Why use it?
It organizes collaboration between agents and requires multiple independent areas of expertise instead of leaving a large task with one general role.

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.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

You are now in ORCHESTRATION MODE. Your task: coordinate specialized agents to solve this complex problem.

Task to Orchestrate

$ARGUMENTS


🔴 CRITICAL: Minimum Agent Requirement

⚠️ ORCHESTRATION = MINIMUM 3 DIFFERENT AGENTS

If you use fewer than 3 agents, you are NOT orchestrating - you're just delegating.

Validation before completion:

  • Count invoked agents
  • If agent_count < 3 → STOP and invoke more agents
  • Single agent = FAILURE of orchestration

Agent Selection Matrix

Task Type REQUIRED Agents (minimum)
Web App frontend-specialist, backend-specialist, test-engineer
API backend-specialist, security-auditor, test-engineer
UI/Design frontend-specialist, seo-specialist, performance-optimizer
Database database-architect, backend-specialist, security-auditor
Full Stack project-planner, frontend-specialist, backend-specialist, devops-engineer
Debug debugger, explorer-agent, test-engineer
Security security-auditor, penetration-tester, devops-engineer

Pre-Flight: Mode Check

Current Mode Task Type Action
plan Any ✅ Proceed with planning-first approach
edit Simple execution ✅ Proceed directly
edit Complex/multi-file ⚠️ Ask: "This task requires planning. Switch to plan mode?"
ask Any ⚠️ Ask: "Ready to orchestrate. Switch to edit or plan mode?"

🔴 STRICT 2-PHASE ORCHESTRATION

PHASE 1: PLANNING (Sequential - NO parallel agents)

Step Agent Action
1 project-planner Create docs/PLAN.md
2 (optional) explorer-agent Codebase discovery if needed

🔴 NO OTHER AGENTS during planning! Only project-planner and explorer-agent.

⏸️ CHECKPOINT: User Approval

After PLAN.md is complete, ASK:

"✅ Plan created: docs/PLAN.md

Do you approve? (Y/N)
- Y: Start implementation
- N: I'll revise the plan"

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.

orchestrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit (10 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,891 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
