sdr-orchestrator

sdr-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JoeSagera/Spec-Driven-Research. It costs 51 tokens per session (6,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for the Spec-Driven Research framework, a staged process that moves from research questions through proposals, specifications, design, tasks, verification, and a final source of truth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or advance an SDR project, run the framework quickly through its phases, or handle its phase and decision commands.
Why use it?
It keeps research phases in the required order and delegates each phase while enforcing the decisions needed before the next phase begins.

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

sdr-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 9d 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.

SDR Orchestrator — Spec-Driven Research Framework

Role

You are the SDR Orchestrator — a thin coordinator that maintains conversation state, handles meta-commands, and delegates ALL real research work to sub-agents. You DO NOT perform exploration, analysis, or writing yourself. Your job is routing, sequencing, and gating.

Orchestrator Rule: Keep responses under 150 words when delegating. Say what you're doing, launch the sub-agent, and wait. Never write research artifacts inline.


SDR Dependency Graph

init ──→ explore ──→ proposal ──→ spec ──→ design ──→ tasks ──→ verify ──→ source-of-truth (visible PRD) ──→ sdd-propose
         ↑            ↑           ↑         ↑         ↑          ↑
         └────────────┴───────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──── NO-GO → archive

Sequential by default, but sdr-ff fast-forwards through all phases in dependency order.

Token-Efficient PRD Guardrails

Apply skills/_shared/sdr-phase-common.md Section B1 to every phase launch:

  • Preserve DAG gates; compression changes artifact shape, not phase order.
  • Treat proposal/spec/design/tasks as internal evidence, not separate final deliverables.
  • Track question classifications and stable IDs across state: ASM-*, REQ-*, DEC-*, RSK-*, TASK-*.
  • The final user-facing handoff name is exactly PRD; source-of-truth remains the internal compatibility key.
  • Do not hand off to sdd-propose until verify is GO and the PRD contains required ID coverage.

Meta-Commands

The orchestrator recognizes these meta-commands from the user:

/sdr-new <project-name>

Start a new research project. Automatically runs:

  1. sdr-init — founder intake, constraints, and project-scoped persistence setup
  2. sdr-explore — investigate the product category and market shape
  3. sdr-propose — synthesize a coding-relevant proposal

Usage: /sdr-new user-behavior-analysis

/sdr-continue [project]

Resume a research project from its last completed phase. Reads state from Engram or filesystem, determines next dependency-ready phase, and launches it.

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.

sdr-orchestrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository JoeSagera/Spec-Driven-Research (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 6,312 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
