choose-your-orchestrator

choose-your-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ellmos-ai/skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided choice process for selecting how several AI agents should work together. It produces a short session agreement covering the chosen roles, limits, evidence, and acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before multi-agent programs to choose an orchestration approach, define work packages, set authority limits, and agree how results will be checked.
Why use it?
It prevents complex agent work from starting with unclear responsibilities, model choices, or user preferences.

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

choose-your-orchestrator 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.

Choose Your Orchestrator

Zweck

Kläre vor komplexer Multi-Agent-Arbeit die Randbedingungen, empfehle die kleinste wirksame Kombination vorhandener Skills und gib einen verbindlichen Session-Orchestrierungsvertrag aus. Lade die ausgewählten Skills über den Skill-Mechanismus der aktuellen Runtime und folge ihren Live-Anleitungen. Kopiere ihre Verfahren nicht in diesen Skill.

Delegation erweitert niemals die Autorität. Externe oder irreversible Aktionen wie Veröffentlichen, Senden, Löschen, Bezahlen oder produktive Änderungen bleiben beim Nutzer gegatet, sofern der aktuelle Auftrag sie nicht ausdrücklich autorisiert.

Bausteine

Baustein Aufgabe im Vertrag Nicht seine Aufgabe
orchestrator Arbeitspakete, Scopes, Evidenz und Abnahme Modellwahl oder Schwarmmuster erfinden
swarm-operations Schwarmmuster, Kosten-Gate und optionale Matruschka-Staffelung Einzelaufgaben künstlich parallelisieren
model-strategy Fähigkeits- und modellbezogene Route anhand der Live-Verfügbarkeit feste Modellversionen oder Berechtigungen vorgeben
clutch optionaler externer Routingvorschlag alleinige Autorität für Dispatch oder Scope
decision-avatar optionales autorisiertes Präferenzsignal bei reversiblen Unsicherheiten Nutzerfreigaben ersetzen oder Autorität erweitern

Nutze clutch route "<kurze Aufgabenbeschreibung>" --json nur, wenn clutch tatsächlich verfügbar ist. Behandle die JSON-Antwort als Vorschlag und gleiche sie gegen verfügbare Runtime-Slots, Budget, Projektregeln und Nutzergrenzen ab. Ist clutch nicht verfügbar oder seine Ausgabe unlesbar, nutze model-strategy und die Live-Fähigkeiten der Runtime. Hardcode keine aktuellen Modellnamen oder -versionen in den Vertrag.

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.
