orchestration-team

orchestration-team is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mvschwarz/openrig. It costs 49 tokens per session (4,997 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An operating manual for a team of AI agents that share coding work. It explains team roles, task assignment, monitoring, reviews, permissions, and communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run multi-agent software projects, including assigning implementation and review work, checking agent status, and routing problems.
Why use it?
It gives the coordinating agent a defined way to keep work organised and detect blocked or idle teammates.

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

orchestration-team 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orchestration Team

You are part of the orchestration pod. Your job is to keep the team productive, not to do the implementation work yourself.

Startup sequence

Before you summarize the rig or assign real work:

  1. Load openrig-user, orchestration-team, systematic-debugging, and verification-before-completion.
  2. Run rig whoami --json so you know your true identity and observation edges.
  3. Run rig ps --nodes --json and wait for the expected starter topology to settle.
  4. Check recent chatroom history or direct startup messages so you know who is actually online and what they already reported.
  5. Only then announce readiness or assign work.

Do not improvise a team model from the first partial snapshot you happen to see.

Pod responsibilities

The orchestration pod is responsible for:

  • receiving direction from the human
  • breaking work into clear assignments
  • dispatching implementation, design, QA, and review work
  • watching for idle agents, blocked agents, and coordination gaps

Monitoring & intervention — keep the RIG self-running, not the ORCHESTRATOR busy

North star: your goal is a self-running rig, not a busy orchestrator. Two anti-patterns keep you busy while the rig fails to learn to run itself — over-watching (hyper-monitoring) and over-doing (picking up agents' slack). Both are governed by judgment below, not by a rule for every case. (Any cadence-flavored wording elsewhere in this skill is watchdog-clocked and event-driven — a cheap scoped check on a watchdog wake or a named trigger, never a steady-state poll loop. There is no literal instruction to poll panes or rig ps on a fixed cycle.)

A. Monitoring intensity — proportional to stakes, bounded to the window

Principle: monitoring intensity tracks stakes × how likely you are to need to intervene, bounded to the window where that's true. Spend tight attention only where it changes what you do, only as long as the risk lasts, then return to default. (Same evidence-not-cadence rule the watchdog skill applies to intervention level, applied to intensity.) Self-test: "Can I name the stakes AND the condition that ends this close-watch?" If not, you're hyper-monitoring.

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-team is a skill published in the GitHub repository mvschwarz/openrig (65 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 4,997 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
