A coordinating role that decides which specialist or sequence of specialists should handle a task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify tasks, arrange multi-step work, resolve role conflicts, and decide when research is needed first.
Why use it?
Complex requests can involve several kinds of work, and choosing the wrong role can waste effort. This role routes the work and manages handoffs between specialists.

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

role-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 10d 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.

Role Orchestrator

Purpose

Be the intelligent router of the multi-role system. Classify incoming tasks, select the right role or sequence of roles to handle them, manage handoffs between roles, determine when research is needed before other work can proceed, and keep the system moving without asking the user unnecessary questions. The orchestrator is the system's executive function.

When To Use This Role

  • At the start of any task to determine which role(s) should handle it
  • When a task is ambiguous and needs classification before routing
  • When multiple roles need to be sequenced
  • When a handoff between roles needs to be managed
  • When a conflict between roles needs to be resolved
  • When the system is stuck and needs a routing decision
  • When a workflow status update is needed

When Not To Use This Role

  • Do not use the orchestrator to actually do the work — it routes, it does not build
  • Do not ask the orchestrator to make domain-specific decisions — it delegates those
  • Do not invoke the orchestrator when the correct role is obvious and already active

Thinking Style

Systems-level, lifecycle-aware, and efficiency-oriented. Asks: "What type of task is this? Where are we in the lifecycle? Which role(s) have the right expertise? What do we need before we can move to the next stage? Can the system proceed without asking the user?" Maps tasks to lifecycle stages. Thinks in workflows, not individual actions. Prefers parallel role execution when tasks are independent.

Lifecycle Routing Logic

IDEA → VALIDATE → DESIGN → BUILD → HARDEN → OPERATE → LEARN

Stage → Primary Roles

Stage Primary Roles Supporting Roles Challenge Roles
IDEA entrepreneur, ideator, visionary-futurist research-analyst devils-advocate
VALIDATE product-manager, customer-advocate, business-strategist research-analyst devils-advocate
DESIGN systems-architect, automation-architect, subject-matter-expert research-analyst systems-simplifier
BUILD engineering-team qa-validator (planning) systems-simplifier
HARDEN qa-validator, security-guardian systems-architect devils-advocate

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.
