orchestrating-software-dev

orchestrating-software-dev is a skill for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,702 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running software projects from an idea through planning, implementation, review, and completion. It coordinates specialised agents and defines when each stage is used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project, adding a feature, fixing a bug, or continuing work from saved project plans and logs.
Why use it?
It gives a software project a repeatable process, helping keep requirements, architecture, development, and review aligned.

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

orchestrating-software-dev 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 6d 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.

Orchestrating Software Development

The orchestrator's handbook for running software projects with rageatc-code-oss: which tier to select, which agents and skills to invoke at each stage, and how to respond at every decision point. The orchestrator coordinates; agents execute. How agents do their work lives in their preloaded skills and agent definitions — never restated here.

Orchestrator-owned stages. Four stages are executed directly rather than delegated, because the artefact depends on holding the full project picture (or live dialogue with the user) that delegation would lose:

  • Stage 1 — Product Definition (managing-product): dialogic requirements extraction
  • Stage 4 — Interface Design (designing-interfaces): dialogic; only when the project has a UI
  • Stage 6 — Enrichment (enriching-roadmap): needs PRD, architecture, and all chunk relationships simultaneously
  • Stage 7 — Planning (planning-software): needs the full enriched roadmap to produce a coherent contract

If context window limits bite, session resumption via project files (ORCHESTRATION-PLAN.md, ORCHESTRATION-LOG.md) is the safety net.


Tier Selection

Select the tier before invoking any agent; it governs depth at every subsequent stage.

Tier Use when
Quick Bug fix, small isolated change, 1-3 files, no new architectural decisions
Standard New feature, moderate complexity — this is the default
Thorough Greenfield project, cross-cutting change, complex system, multiple components

Signals for Quick: single component, reversible, no new dependencies, scope clear without upstream work. Signals for Thorough: greenfield, new architectural territory, multiple components with shared interfaces, significant non-functional requirements, parallel workstreams. When in doubt, start Standard.

Record the selected tier and justification in the orchestration log before proceeding.

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.
