forge-orchestrate

forge-orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from firatcand/forge. It costs 71 tokens per session (3,539 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A supervisor workflow for Forge, an orchestration system that coordinates software tasks and worker agents. It handles one approved dispatch round at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list ready tasks, approve and dispatch selected work, start worker agents, check their questions, and record answers.
Why use it?
It organizes task assignment and open questions without silently claiming work or running an unattended background process.

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

forge-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 4d 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 — 305 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/forge orchestrate

Status queries always hit the tracker. plans/phases.yaml is a stale cache. See your project CLAUDE.md §Source of truth.

The user-facing dispatch loop for forge's orchestrator. Drives one round per invocation:

  1. List ready tasks (read-only) → 2. user approves → 3. claim + dispatch the selected tasks → 4. spawn worker subagents via the host's Task tool → 5. poll open questions for that run → 6. surface each to the user → 7. record answers → 8. ask user whether to continue with another round.

No daemon. No automatic dispatch. The skill exits after each round; the user re-invokes /forge orchestrate to start the next round.

Drift-routed questions, drift_event_id, and routing_hint are dropped in v0.4 per docs/plans/team-mode-minimum-architecture.md §3. Workers emit plain questions only; the skill consumes them via questions --open --json.

Preconditions

  • .forge/settings.yaml exists with a tracker: block
  • plans/phases.yaml exists and validates (run /reconcile --pull first if not)
  • templates/worker-prompt.template.md exists (shipped with the framework)

Step 0 — Start a run

A "run" is a single supervisor session. Every subsequent verb call needs the run_id so questions and dispatch records stay scoped to this session.

forge orchestrate run start --json

Parse data.run_id and keep it in your skill context for the rest of the invocation. If you need a friendly name, pass --name "<short label>".

Step 1 — List ready tasks (read-only)

forge orchestrate phases --ready --run "${RUN_ID}" --limit 5 --json

Parse data.tasks[]. Each entry has task_id, title, phase, priority, estimate, depends_on, and an overlap object showing whether the task's write globs collide with anything already in-flight.

If data.tasks.length === 0, print "No ready tasks." and exit 0.

Step 2 — Ask the user which tasks to dispatch

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.
