orchestration:creating-workflows

orchestration:creating-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mbruhler/claude-orchestration. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,847 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A planning guide for creating workflows that coordinate multiple Claude Code agents across several steps. It uses questions to clarify the goal and then produces workflow syntax, the written notation that connects those steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design workflows, automate repeated processes, connect agents, and plan tasks involving external services, web data, or larger-scale processing.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague multi-step automation idea into a defined process with suitable agents, data sources, and temporary scripts where needed. This reduces the chance of overlooking requirements such as APIs, scraping, or authentication.

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 C, and why

orchestration:creating-workflows scanned grade C 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 5d 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.

Creating Orchestration Workflows

I'll help you create powerful orchestration workflows that coordinate multiple Claude Code agents. I use Socratic questioning to understand your needs and generate optimal workflow syntax.

When I Activate

I automatically activate when you:

  • Describe a multi-step process you want to automate
  • Mention "workflow", "orchestration", "automate", "coordinate agents"
  • Ask "how do I create a workflow?"
  • Want to connect multiple agents or tasks
  • Ask about automating repetitive processes

My Process

1. Understanding Your Intent

CRITICAL: I use AskUserQuestion tool for ALL questions. NO plain text numbered lists.

I'll ask strategic questions to understand:

  • What problem you're solving
  • What your goal is
  • What scope you have in mind
  • What external data sources you need (APIs, web scraping, databases)

2. Detecting Temp Script Needs

I automatically scan for these triggers:

  • External APIs: Reddit, Twitter, GitHub, ProductHunt, etc.
  • Web Scraping: Extracting data from websites
  • Data Processing: Analyzing 10+ items, statistical analysis
  • Authentication: Any service requiring API keys

If detected → I'll proactively create temp scripts for you

3. Identifying the Pattern

I'll determine if your workflow is:

  • Sequential: One step after another (->)
  • Parallel: Multiple tasks at once (||)
  • Conditional: Based on results (~>)
  • Semantic Routing: Dynamic switch statements based on LLM interpretation (route() =>)
  • Scheduled: Runs automatically in the background (@schedule(...))
  • Hybrid: Combination of above

3. Designing the Workflow

I'll help you define:

  • Which agents to use (built-in or custom)
  • How data flows between steps
  • Error handling strategy
  • Review checkpoints

4. Generating Syntax

I'll create clean, readable workflow syntax like:

# Simple sequential workflow
explore:"Analyze codebase" ->
implement:"Add feature" ->
test:"Run tests"

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

orchestration:creating-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository mbruhler/claude-orchestration (218 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,847 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
