atelier-orchestrator

atelier-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from martinffx/atelier. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,837 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow coordinator for Atelier, a development toolkit with planning, specification, implementation, and review workflows. It chooses between a quick plan and a written specification, then routes work to the relevant workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a development task to select a planning mode, find the right Atelier workflow, and manage transitions between planning, implementation, review, and related phases.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding agent choose an appropriate process before acting. It also requires a human-reviewed plan before implementation when a design choice is involved.

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

atelier-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 10d 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.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

Planning Workflow

You have skills. You MUST use them. Not "should." Not "when convenient." MUST.

Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action. Even a 1% chance a skill might apply means you invoke it. If an invoked skill turns out to be wrong for the situation, you don't need to follow it. But you must check.

The One Rule

When an implementation choice exists, never write code until the human has reviewed and approved a written plan. Exact mechanical changes may use the exception below.

The plan may be inline in the conversation or backed by persisted spec artifacts. Select the mode before invoking an artifact-producing skill, state the choice with one brief reason, and let the human override it.

Governing Principles

Invoking a skill selects relevant guidance. It does not make every pattern in every loaded skill part of the solution. Existing source, explicit requirements, and the smallest correct change determine which patterns apply.

Begin with the current design and the minimum behavior-preserving change. Product, infrastructure, and architectural expansion require explicit scope. Keep ponytail active throughout development when it is available or required by the repository. Keep writing-clearly-and-concisely active whenever writing or editing prose for humans. Before returning or persisting that prose, apply humanizer in embedded mode.

Planning Modes

Inline Plan (default)

Use for bounded, well-understood work, including ordinary features, bug fixes, refactors, configuration changes, and multi-file changes. Route to spec-plan with Inline mode explicitly selected. It presents a concise plan in conversation, creates no planning artifacts or tracker entries, and stops for approval. Approval ends the spec-plan invocation. A later, explicit implementation request may implement the plan directly; do not invoke spec-implement, spec-finish, or code-subagents for Inline work.

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.
