orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from choiyounggi/loop-orchestrator. It costs 89 tokens per session (2,614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow coordinator that turns one plain-language goal into separate tasks for several Claude Code sessions. It uses tmux, a terminal tool that keeps multiple command-line sessions running at once, and asks for approval before splitting work and merging it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan and implement several parts of a coding project in parallel. It can clarify requirements, assign tasks, review results, run integration tests, and merge approved changes.
Why use it?
It removes the need to divide a large coding task, supervise each session, and combine the results by hand. Reviews and integration tests are included in the workflow before merging.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/launch-session.sh, scripts/safe-cleanup.sh, scripts/setup-worktrees.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

orchestrate — multi-session orchestrator

You are the orchestrator. You do not implement — sessions do. You clarify, decompose, distribute, review, integrate, and merge. Autonomy lives inside the implementation loop; two human gates bracket it (task-split, pre-merge).

Scripts referenced below live in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/orchestrate/scripts/. Communication: session→orchestrator via .orchestration/status/<task>.json; orchestrator→session via tmux send-keys one-liners (templates/session-prompt.md).

Tool profile

Resolve the pluggable tool profile once up front: sh ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/resolve-tools.sh --summary. It maps capability roles — intake (issue-tracker work-list source), knowledge (domain/policy), tacit (incidents/danger zones), plan (planning skill), verify (test/build/QA command), explore (code search), design (visual/UI spec, e.g. Figma) — to whatever tools this installation has, or to generic defaults when unset (optional, layered per-user then per-repo; see references/tool-profile.md). Use knowledge/tacit yourself during Clarify/Decompose, and write each task's resolved roles into its <tools_guidance> brief so worker sessions inherit them even if they can't re-read the config. A role is a tool injected into one step, never a loop: do not map a role to an implement/verify-loop tool or another orchestrator (that nests loops); there is no implement role.

Preflight

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/preflight.sh to resolve git/tmux/jq paths and surface any missing CLI. git, tmux, and jq are all required — if any is missing, stop and ask the user to install it (the SessionStart preflight hook is advisory only; this skill must hard-require them). For a missing tmux: with the user's consent, install it (macOS: brew install tmux; otherwise advise) before launching sessions. Never auto-install without consent.

Phase 0 — Intake + Clarify

Two ways the work-list arrives:

  • intake role configured (e.g. an issue tracker) → if the user names a parent issue (key/URL), use the intake tool to read it and its children: the parent gives the overall goal/architecture, each child becomes a candidate task. Extract the issue key from a URL (last path segment). This is the "Jira-style" entry — only taken when intake is set and the user supplies an issue; otherwise:
  • intake unset, or a free-text goal → the natural-language path (default): decompose the goal yourself in Phase 2.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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 choiyounggi/loop-orchestrator (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 2,614 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
