orchestrate-build

orchestrate-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Justinmendezai/The-Adam-Repo. It costs 94 tokens per session (3,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A build coordinator that follows dependencies between smaller work items, called slices, and assigns newly unblocked slices to their managers. It then runs each slice's checks itself and updates the project's status file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to dispatch slice managers, start the next available batch of work, rerun verifiers, update slice statuses, and continue through later dependency waves.
Why use it?
Large builds become difficult to coordinate when one task depends on another and workers report their own progress. This keeps the dependency order and verifies completed work 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-build scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

orchestrate-build

The Tier-1 orchestrator loop. Permanently lean: it never reads a slice SPEC.md body, never writes product code, never trusts a worker's self-report. It walks the dependency graph in agent-control/slice-status.md, hands paths (not contents) down to per-slice managers, then re-runs each slice's verifier itself before flipping a status row.

The invariant

Information flows down as file paths, not file contents. The orchestrator passes a slice id and a list of paths to its manager. Each lower tier reads what it needs by path. Nobody pastes a 400-line spec into a prompt.

Topology

Tier 1 — orchestrate-build (this skill, you)
  holds: dep graph + 1-line statuses (agent-control/slice-status.md)
  does:  dispatch managers, re-run verifiers, flip statuses
        |
        | slice id + paths only
        v
Tier 2 — dispatch-manager (per slice, disposable)
  holds: ONE slice SPEC.md
  does:  build worker prompt, dispatch worker, return one-line summary
        |
        | scoped prompt
        v
Tier 3 — worker (composer-2-fast, best-of-n-runner)
  holds: ONE SPEC + in-scope files
  does:  write code, commit, emit <adam>COMPLETE</adam>

Fallback path: when topology_depth: 2 is set in adam.json, the orchestrator dispatches workers directly via dispatch-builder / dispatch-parallel and skips the manager hop.

Preconditions

Before running this skill:

  • slice-to-tasks has produced slices/<id>/SPEC.md + slices/<id>/verify.sh (or an inline verify one-liner in SPEC.md) for every slice.
  • tests-first has populated slices/<id>/tests/ with red tests.
  • agent-control/slice-status.md exists (created by setup-adam, one row per slice).
  • agent-control/human-queue.md exists (seeded by adam-foundation-sync) for batched operator items.
  • adam.json has topology_depth (default 3) and verifier_convention (default slices/<id>/verify.sh).

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.
