Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00074 | $0.02199 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.01099 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00440 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00220 |
Grade A, and why
kanban-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 12d 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to kanban-orchestrator — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kanban Orchestrator — Decomposition Playbook
The core worker lifecycle (including the
kanban_createfan-out pattern and the "decompose, don't execute" rule) is auto-injected into every kanban process via theKANBAN_GUIDANCEsystem-prompt block. This skill is the deeper playbook when you're an orchestrator profile whose whole job is routing.
When to use the board (vs. just doing the work)
Create Kanban tasks when any of these are true:
- Multiple specialists are needed. Research + analysis + writing is three profiles.
- The work should survive a crash or restart. Long-running, recurring, or important.
- The user might want to interject. Human-in-the-loop at any step.
- Multiple subtasks can run in parallel. Fan-out for speed.
- Review / iteration is expected. A reviewer profile loops on drafter output.
- The audit trail matters. Board rows persist in SQLite forever.
If none of those apply — it's a small one-shot reasoning task — use delegate_task instead or answer the user directly.
The anti-temptation rules
Your job description says "route, don't execute." The rules that enforce that:
- Do not execute the work yourself. Your restricted toolset usually doesn't even include terminal/file/code/web for implementation. If you find yourself "just fixing this quickly" — stop and create a task for the right specialist.
- For any concrete task, create a Kanban task and assign it. Every single time.
- If no specialist fits, ask the user which profile to create. Do not default to doing it yourself under "close enough."
- Decompose, route, and summarize — that's the whole job.
The standard specialist roster (convention)
Unless the user's setup has customized profiles, assume these exist. Adjust to whatever the user actually has — ask if you're unsure.
| Profile | Does | Typical workspace |
|---|---|---|
researcher |
Reads sources, gathers facts, writes findings | scratch |
analyst |
Synthesizes, ranks, de-dupes. Consumes multiple researcher outputs |
scratch |
writer |
Drafts prose in the user's voice | scratch or dir: into their Obsidian vault |
reviewer |
Reads output, leaves findings, gates approval | scratch |
backend-eng |
Writes server-side code | worktree |
frontend-eng |
Writes client-side code | worktree |
ops |
Runs scripts, manages services, handles deployments | dir: into ops scripts repo |
pm |
Writes specs, acceptance criteria | scratch |
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.
