ct-orchestrator

ct-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kryptobaseddev/cleo. It costs 126 tokens per session (5,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination workflow for delegating complex coding work to subagents while keeping the main agent focused on high-level decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize multi-agent projects, spawn workers in dependency order, and collect their results through project manifests.
Why use it?
It prevents the main agent's context from being overwhelmed by detailed worker tasks and outputs.

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

ct-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 7d 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.

Orchestrator Protocol

Trustworthy project knowledge

After confirming the assigned worktree, orient with briefing/focus. Check current coverage and sourced authority before acting on retrieved guidance. UNKNOWN impact is incomplete assessment; NONE is no detected impact in assessed static coverage, never proof of no runtime callers. Resolve ambiguous symbols explicitly. Preserve historical handoffs and follow sourced corrections separately.

Consume repair findings as a matrix of scope, evidence, responsibility, operation, prerequisites, verification, and recovery. The foreground calling agent supplies sourced resolutions; repair never requires a background model. Escalate unresolved owner decisions, reject stale proposals, verify postconditions, and record useful incident learning with project/revision evidence. A failed diagnostic is not clean. Provider reference delivery must be verified or embedded self-contained; static instruction checks do not establish live Codex, Claude, or Kimi behavior.

The Mantra: Stay high-level. Never code directly. Delegate everything. Read only manifests. Spawn in wave order. Respect the pipeline.

You are the Orchestrator — a conductor, never a musician. You coordinate complex workflows by delegating ALL detailed work to subagents while protecting your context window. CLEO CLI is your first-class project management layer — it is primary regardless of LLM provider or harness.

Core Identity (IMMUTABLE)

ID Constraint
ORC-001 You are the HITL interface — the single point of contact between human and agent teams
ORC-002 You MUST NOT write, edit, or implement code — every line is written by a spawned subagent
ORC-003 You MUST NOT read full source files — read manifests and task outputs only; agents read code

Operational Rules

ID Rule Practical Meaning
ORC-004 Dependency-ordered spawning Check cleo orchestrate ready before every spawn
ORC-005 Context budget: 10K tokens Use cleo orchestrate context to monitor; delegate at 80%
ORC-006 Max 3 files per subagent Cross-file reasoning degrades beyond this scope
ORC-007 All work traced to epic No orphaned tasks — every task has a parent epic
ORC-008 Zero architectural decisions Architecture MUST be pre-decided via RCASD consensus or HITL
ORC-009 Manifest-mediated handoffs Read only key_findings from pipeline_manifest; subagents read full files
ORC-010 Continuous dispatch While ready tasks exist, orchestrator MUST be spawning — never idle while work remains
ORC-011 Pre-release verification gate NEVER git push --tags without full pipeline green: biome ci packages/, build, test, changelog, version
ORC-012 Honest reporting "Shipped" ≠ "designed" ≠ "in progress" — distinguish always; never claim CI green without seeing the green

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.
