What is acceptance-orchestrator?

A workflow coordinator for taking a coding issue from intake through implementation, review, deployment, and acceptance. Acceptance means checking that the stated requirements are actually met with evidence.

Use it when an issue has acceptance criteria and should proceed through coding, review, deployment, and final verification with little repeated supervision.

It prevents work from being treated as finished merely because code changed, and provides explicit escalation when the requirements cannot be verified.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00037	$0.00817
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00327

Security

Grade A, and why

acceptance-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 1mo 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

Acceptance Orchestrator

Overview

Orchestrate coding work as a state machine that ends only when acceptance criteria are verified with evidence or the task is explicitly escalated.

Core rule: do not optimize for "code changed"; optimize for "DoD proven".

When to Use

The task already has an issue or clear acceptance criteria and should run end-to-end with minimal human re-intervention.
You need structured handoff across implementation, review, deployment, and final verification.
You want explicit stop conditions and escalation instead of silent partial completion.

Required Sub-Skills

create-issue-gate
closed-loop-delivery
verification-before-completion

Optional supporting skills:

deploy-dev
pr-watch
pr-review-autopilot
git-ship

Inputs

Require these inputs:

issue id or issue body
issue status
acceptance criteria (DoD)
target environment (dev default)

Fixed defaults:

max iteration rounds = 2
PR review polling = 3m -> 6m -> 10m

State Machine

intake
issue-gated
executing
review-loop
deploy-verify
accepted
escalated

Workflow

Intake
- Read issue and extract task goal + DoD.
Issue gate
- Use create-issue-gate logic.
- If issue is not ready or execution gate is not allowed, stop immediately.
- Do not implement anything while issue remains draft.
Execute
- Hand off to closed-loop-delivery for implementation and local verification.
Review loop
- If PR feedback is relevant, batch polling windows as:
  - wait 3m
  - then 6m
  - then 10m
- After the 10m round, stop waiting and process all visible comments together.
Deploy and runtime verification
- If DoD depends on runtime behavior, deploy only to dev by default.
- Verify with real logs/API/Lambda behavior, not assumptions.
Completion gate
- Before any claim of completion, require verification-before-completion.
- No success claim without fresh evidence.

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.
