orchestration

orchestration is a skill for Claude Code from numman-ali/n-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (6,694 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordination method for splitting complex coding work among multiple AI agents and combining their results. An agent is a separate AI worker assigned a specific part of the task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to divide feature development, code reviews, refactoring, testing, and documentation into parallel or coordinated jobs.
Why use it?
It helps manage large tasks that are difficult to handle as one uninterrupted piece of work.

About the project

n-skills is a curated marketplace for reusable instructions and skills that extend AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents that read AGENTS.md. Users install these workflow, tool, and orchestration packages through native installers or the universal OpenSkills installer. The catalogue plugins and skills are examples of the packages it distributes.

    Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

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 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.

Worker Mode (If you're a spawned agent)

If you were spawned by an orchestrator, your job is simple:

  1. Execute the specific task in your prompt
  2. Use tools directly — Read, Write, Edit, Bash, etc.
  3. Do NOT spawn sub-agents — you are the worker
  4. Do NOT manage the task graph — the orchestrator handles task management
  5. Report results clearly — file paths, code snippets, what you did

orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository numman-ali/n-skills (1,046 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 6,694 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
