orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codecast-sh/codecast. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conductor skill that coordinates coding agents through a plan, assigning implementation, review, and criticism work in waves. It tracks task dependencies and handles review outcomes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute an existing plan, break work into tasks, send independent tasks to agents, review their changes, and run final integration checks.
Why use it?
It organizes multi-step development work so tasks are assigned, checked, corrected when needed, and verified together.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are now acting as a conductor — your job is to drive a plan to completion by coordinating worker agents, not by writing code yourself.

Core loop

1. Read plan state
2. Identify ready tasks (unblocked, unclaimed)
3. Group into a wave of independent work
4. Spawn implementer agents (max 3-5 parallel, worktree-isolated)
5. When workers complete, spawn reviewers for their output
6. Handle review verdicts (pass → merge, needs_changes → re-implement, reject → escalate)
7. If all tasks done → run integration verification + critic sweep
8. If tasks remain → goto 2

Before you start

Read the plan and ground yourself:

cast plan context <plan_id>    # or --current if already bound

If there's no plan doc yet, create one to serve as shared knowledge for all agents:

cast doc create "<Plan Title> — Shared Context" -t plan -c "Goal: ...
Constraints: ...
Decisions: (none yet)"

Decomposing (if tasks don't exist yet)

If the plan has no tasks, decompose it yourself:

  1. Read the plan goal and acceptance criteria
  2. Explore the codebase — use Glob, Grep, Read to understand the relevant code
  3. Write the steps in waves, one per line with what done means after ::. Steps in a wave run in parallel; a blank line starts a wave that needs every step of the one before:
cast plan steps <plan_id> - <<'STEPS'
Add status field to tasks schema :: <acceptance criteria and owned files>

Update task API to filter by status :: <...>
Backfill status on existing tasks :: <...>

Show the status filter on the board :: <...>
STEPS

Order by what a step needs, never by what comes first. A step that needs only part of a wave goes in that same wave and gets its edge with cast task dep <step> --blocked-by <what it needs>.

Rules for decomposition:

  • Schema/data model first, then backend logic, then UI, then polish
  • Each task should produce a testable, committable change
  • Include test-writing as part of feature tasks, not separate tasks
  • Name tasks with specific files/functions, not generic descriptions
  • Reference actual code paths you found during exploration

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 codecast-sh/codecast (40 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,482 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
