Narraitor: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/narraitor-parallel-lane-orchestration/SKILL.md

narraitor-parallel-lane-orchestration is a skill for Claude Code from jerseycheese/Narraitor. It costs 130 tokens per session (2,511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for having one orchestrator split a batch of Narraitor issues into separate parallel worktree lanes. A worktree is an independent working copy of a Git repository, so agents can work without immediately changing the same files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select and dispatch the next important issues in parallel, create worktrees, assign suitable models, handle blockers, and report the batch result.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed for a large backlog by assigning separate issues to separate agents and matching each lane to the issue's model-power label.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Codex.

This is jerseycheese/Narraitor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Narraitor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Narraitor configures →

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

narraitor-parallel-lane-orchestration 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 28d 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.

Parallel lane orchestration (Fable orchestrator, tiered lane agents)

1. What this is

One Fable-model session acts as orchestrator. It picks N issues off the backlog, pre-builds a git worktree per issue, and spawns one Agent-tool subagent per lane — each lane's model chosen from that issue's model-power:* label, so cheap work runs cheap. The orchestrator never implements; it selects, partitions, dispatches, unblocks, and reports.

The mechanism that works here is the in-harness Agent tool, not claude -p children (host-held OAuth 401s) and not a paste-block of terminal commands.

2. When to use

For a whole milestone (intake, shaping, batches of issues per PR, Codex or Gemini lanes, cloud vs local, the release), use narraitor-backlog-routing instead. It builds on this skill, and §6 below stays the canonical trap list for both.

  • "Work the next N most important issues in parallel."
  • A backlog push where serial execution would waste hours of wall clock.
  • Any time a batch is big enough that batch selection is itself a real decision.

Do not use for a single issue (ship-issue / tdd-implement are cheaper), or when the batch would all touch the same file (see collision rules — that batch is serial by nature).

3. Model tiering

model-power:* is the delegation axis (complexity:* is time/scope, not reasoning difficulty). Definitions live in .github/labels.md.

Label Lane model
model-power:light haiku
model-power:standard sonnet
model-power:advanced opus
model-power:frontier keep out of the batch, or run it in the orchestrator session

An unlabeled issue is not automatically standard — read the body and assign a tier, saying so. The labels were applied in a single retroactive pass, so treat a tier that fights the body as wrong and score the body.

4. Batch selection

Run the prioritize-issues skill for the ranking, then subtract everything that cannot safely run right now. That skill is user-level, not committed here — where it isn't available (a fresh clone, a cloud session), the repo ships .claude/agents/issue-prioritizer.md, which does the same ranking job:

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.
