orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hyperb1iss/hyperskills. It costs 77 tokens per session (6,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for coordinating several coding agents on one larger task. It covers splitting work into independent parts, dispatching agents in waves, and combining their results with review and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for research groups, parallel feature development, multi-agent review and repair cycles, or other tasks that need three or more agents working together.
Why use it?
It helps organise parallel work without losing track of dependencies, context, or quality checks. This is useful when one agent would take too long or when separate tasks can be handled independently.

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

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 — 491 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Meta-orchestration patterns mined from 597+ real agent dispatches across production codebases. The skill maps orchestration strategy to work shape, brief structure to agent type, and background/foreground to supervision and integration needs.

Core principle: Match the strategy to the work, partition agents by independence, inject enough context that parallelism is real, and let review overhead adapt as trust earns itself. The strategies below are reference patterns. Pick the one that fits, blend two when the work is mixed, invent your own when the patterns don't match.

Dispatch Surface by Host

The strategies are host-agnostic; the fan-out verb differs:

Host Fan-out surface Notes
Claude Code Agent tool: parallel calls in one block, background for swarms Worktree isolation via the agent's isolation option
Codex spawn_agent with a role-appropriate agent_type Delegation gate precedence below
Pi (pi-nova pack) dispatch tool with "mode": "parallel" Children inherit the safety gate via PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR
Any host, no fan-out verb Task queue as bus: Sibyl tasks + worktree isolation A real dispatch mode, not a degraded one

Codex delegation gate precedence: contract-mandated verification counts as warranted subagent work, or route it through external CLI review processes, which don't count as subagents. Exploratory swarms still need the user's ask. Standing user grants ("spawn subagents any time you want") persist across sessions; record them in memory.

Task queue as bus: when the host lacks a fan-out verb, orchestrate through the task graph plus worktree isolation. Write self-contained cold-pickup task descriptions (repo, refs, tags, done-means) at the same quality bar as a dispatch brief.

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.

orchestrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository hyperb1iss/hyperskills (31 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 6,307 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
