orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code from josstei/maestro-orchestrate. It costs 31 tokens per session (396 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An orchestration workflow for complex engineering tasks. It requires a design discussion, an approved implementation plan, and then execution while keeping shared session information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate design, planning, delegated work, and implementation for a large engineering task.
Why use it?
It prevents complex work from jumping straight into code without agreement on the design and plan.

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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Setup

  1. Call get_runtime_context if it appears in your available tools. Use the returned tool mappings, agent dispatch syntax, MCP prefix, and paths throughout this session.
  2. If get_runtime_context is unavailable, use this compact fallback:
    • Core tools: read_file=Read, write_file=Write, replace=Edit, run_shell_command=Bash, glob=Glob, grep_search=Grep, activate_skill=Skill, ask_user=AskUserQuestion, enter_plan_mode=EnterPlanMode, exit_plan_mode=ExitPlanMode
    • Extended tools: google_web_search=WebSearch, web_fetch=WebFetch, write_todos=[TaskCreate,TaskUpdate,TaskList], read_many_files=Read, list_directory=Glob, codebase_investigator=Agent (Explore) / Grep / Glob
    • Agent dispatch: Agent(subagent_type: "maestro:", prompt: "...")
    • MCP prefix: mcp__plugin_maestro_maestro__
    • Shared skills/templates/references/protocols: call get_skill_content(resources: ["<name>"])

Execute

Call get_skill_content with resources: ["orchestration-steps"].

Follow the returned step sequence exactly. The steps are the sole procedural authority — do not improvise, skip, or reorder them.

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.
