A staged checklist for an Orchestrate challenge, a time-limited task where an AI-built system and its supporting evidence are evaluated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan work and pass quality checks from initial planning through final submission.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from spending all their time on code while neglecting the output, conversation record, or technical interview.

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-phase-gates 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.

Orchestrate Phase Gates

HackerRank Orchestrate scores four independent artifacts, and the published post-mortem of the May 2026 event found that no single metric reproduced the leaderboard — the winners were balanced across all four, not exceptional at one. That single fact should drive your entire time allocation, because the instinct under time pressure is to sink everything into code and treat the other three as afterthoughts. That is the losing strategy, mathematically: code is only 30%.

The scored surface (from HackerRank's published breakdown)

Artifact Weight What it actually measures
Code zip 30% Agent design, architecture, tool integration, prompt quality, robustness, engineering standards
Output CSV 30% Functional correctness vs. a golden dataset — and the soundness of each decision's justification
AI chat transcript 10% How you directed your AI coding tools — planning, constraints, debugging, iteration
AI judge interview 30% Technical depth, problem understanding, communication clarity, self-awareness about limitations

Two implications people miss:

  1. 70% of the score is not your code. Output quality, your transcript, and a live interview dominate. Budget time accordingly — a common failure is arriving at hour 23 with elegant code, an unreviewed CSV, and no interview prep.
  2. Justifications are scored, not just actions. The CSV isn't a pure correctness check. A right answer with incoherent reasoning loses points that a right answer with sound reasoning keeps.

The gates

Run these in order. Each gate has an owning skill that does the actual work — this skill is the sequencer, not the executor.

Gate 0  Understand the rubric        → (this skill)
Gate 1  Plan & decompose             → brainstorming / writing-plans
Gate 2  Agent architecture           → orchestrate-agent-architecture
Gate 3  Robustness & adversarial     → orchestrate-robustness
Gate 4  Implement                    → tdd, implement
Gate 5  Justification quality        → orchestrate-justification-quality
Gate 6  Transcript hygiene           → orchestrate-ai-collaboration-transcript  (runs CONTINUOUSLY, not once)
Gate 7  Self-score against rubric    → orchestrate-self-scoring
Gate 8  Interview readiness          → orchestrate-interview-readiness
Gate 9  Final submission review      → orchestrate-submission-review

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.

orchestrate-phase-gates is a skill published in the GitHub repository NITISH-R-G/hackerrank-orchestrate-skills (3 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 1,187 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
