orchestrations

orchestrations is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyanheads/cyanheads-mcp-server. It costs 159 tokens per session (5,125 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of orchestrations, Apache-2.0.

A workflow selector and runner for multi-phase work on MCP server projects. It connects separate tasks such as setup, testing, maintenance, committing, and publishing into one process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build new servers, update and release existing servers, test and fix problems, or apply fixes and then prepare a release.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide manually which task should run next when a job spans several phases.

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

orchestrations 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 12d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to orchestrations — 23 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 228 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

Multi-phase work that chains several foundational skills against one or more MCP server projects. Typical triggers:

  • "Build N new servers" / "scaffold and ship X, Y, Z" → workflows/greenfield-build.md
  • "Update and release these servers" / "run maintenance and ship" → workflows/maintenance-release.md
  • "QA / field-test / find-and-fix bugs in these servers" → workflows/field-test-fix.md
  • "Fix these issues and ship" / handoff document with findings to act on → workflows/fix-wrapup-release.md

Single-skill work — running just maintenance, just git-wrapup, just release-and-publish — invokes the foundational skill directly. Use this orchestrations skill when at least two phases need to chain.

Mental Model — Three Tiers

Tier Layer Examples Who reads it
1 Foundational task skills git-wrapup, release-and-publish, maintenance, field-test, setup, design-mcp-server, polish-docs-meta, code-simplifier, add-tool, add-resource, add-service, add-test, etc. Orchestrator AND sub-agents (by direct path reference)
2 Orchestration workflows The four files under workflows/ Orchestrator only
3 Router This SKILL.md Orchestrator only

Workflows in Tier 2 sequence Tier 1 skills with gates and verification. They never duplicate Tier 1 content — they direct to it. A workflow file says "Phase N: agent reads and runs skills/git-wrapup/SKILL.md," not "here's how to wrap up a release."

The orchestrator is the agent driving the workflow — the one reading this SKILL.md. Sub-agents the orchestrator spawns receive prompts pointing at Tier 1 skills directly; they do not receive this skill or the workflow file. That boundary prevents recursive sub-agent spawning.

Pick a Workflow

Identify the workflow from user intent first, then sanity-check against project state if intent is ambiguous.

User intent / state signal Workflow
New scaffold(s) from bunx @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core init, no implementation yet (echo definitions still present, no released changelog) workflows/greenfield-build.md
Existing server(s), bun outdated shows updates, want to land them and ship workflows/maintenance-release.md
Existing server(s), want to find bugs via live testing and fix them, optionally ship workflows/field-test-fix.md
Existing server(s) with known issues (GH issues, handoff document, observed gap), want to fix and ship workflows/fix-wrapup-release.md

What ships with it

4 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.

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.
