sub-agent-orchestrator

sub-agent-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from OneWave-AI/claude-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (682 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for designing workflows in which multiple software agents pass work to one another. It supports ordered steps, parallel tasks, conditional branches, retries, time limits, and combining results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define or run agent pipelines in YAML, including research-to-proposal processes, parallel work, decision branches, repeated steps, and result aggregation.
Why use it?
It helps organize complex jobs that are difficult to manage as one conversation or one agent. Clear handoffs and workflow rules make multi-step agent processes easier to run and inspect.

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

sub-agent-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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sub-Agent Orchestrator

Design and execute multi-agent pipelines where each step is a different agent that depends on the previous one. Define roles, dependencies, and handoffs in YAML, then run sequential, parallel, conditional, loop, and map-reduce workflows with retry, timeout, and validation.

Unlike Agent Army (homogeneous parallel code changes) and Agent Swarm (homogeneous parallel data processing), this orchestrator coordinates heterogeneous pipelines where the output of A feeds the input of B.

Contents

  • references/patterns.md -- The six workflow patterns and the comparison to Agent Army/Swarm.
  • references/workflow-schema.md -- Full YAML workflow definition language.
  • references/examples.md -- Complete worked workflows (research-to-proposal, lead scoring).
  • references/execution-engine.md -- Per-step execution model, retry, timeout, validation, edge cases.
  • references/templates.md -- Reusable workflow scaffolds.
  • references/visual-and-reporting.md -- Text diagrams and the execution report template.

Workflow

  1. Determine the mode from the request:

    • Run a workflow file: read the YAML at the given path.
    • Define and run inline: convert the natural-language description into a workflow YAML (see references/workflow-schema.md), then show it for approval.
    • Dry run: parse, validate, resolve inputs, and show the execution plan without deploying agents.
    • Inspect: parse the YAML and produce a human-readable description plus a text diagram (see references/visual-and-reporting.md).
  2. Parse and validate the workflow: confirm required fields, that agent IDs resolve, and that there are no circular dependencies. Report syntax or reference errors with the offending line. See references/execution-engine.md.

  3. Resolve inputs: collect every required input from the user before starting; apply defaults for optional inputs.

  4. Build the execution DAG and run each step in topological order using the matching execution model (sequential, parallel, conditional, loop, map). See references/execution-engine.md.

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.
