kanban-orchestrator

kanban-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,488 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kanban-orchestrator, MIT.

A playbook for an orchestrator that breaks work into tasks and routes them through a Kanban board. Kanban is a workflow method that moves work through stages such as ready, in progress, and done.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover available worker profiles, divide large work into cards, assign those cards, and manage their progress.
Why use it?
It helps coordinate several workers while avoiding assignments to profiles that are not actually configured.

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

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 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.

Kanban Orchestrator — Decomposition Playbook

The core worker lifecycle (including the TaskCreate fan-out pattern and the "decompose, don't execute" rule) is auto-injected into every kanban process via the KANBAN_GUIDANCE system-prompt block. This skill is the deeper playbook when you're an orchestrator profile whose whole job is routing.

Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster

the agent setups vary widely. Some users run a single profile that does everything; some run a small fleet (docker-worker, cron-worker); some run a curated specialist team they've named themselves. There is no default specialist roster — the orchestrator skill does not know what profiles exist on this machine.

Before fanning out, you must ground the decomposition in the profiles that actually exist. The dispatcher silently fails to spawn unknown assignee names — it doesn't autocorrect, doesn't suggest, doesn't fall back. So a card assigned to researcher on a setup that only has docker-worker just sits in ready forever.

Step 0: discover available profiles before planning.

Use one of these:

  • hermes profile list — prints the table of profiles configured on this machine. Run it through your terminal tool if you have one; otherwise ask the user.
  • kanban_list(assignee="<some-name>") — sanity-check a single name. Returns an empty list (rather than an error) for an unknown assignee, so this only confirms a name you're already considering.
  • Just ask the user. "What profiles do you have set up?" is a fine first turn when the goal needs more than one specialist.

Cache the result in your working memory for the rest of the conversation. Re-asking every turn wastes a tool call.

When to use the board (vs. just doing the work)

Create Kanban tasks when any of these are true:

  1. Multiple specialists are needed. Research + analysis + writing is three profiles.
  2. The work should survive a crash or restart. Long-running, recurring, or important.
  3. The user might want to interject. Human-in-the-loop at any step.
  4. Multiple subtasks can run in parallel. Fan-out for speed.
  5. Review / iteration is expected. A reviewer profile loops on drafter output.
  6. The audit trail matters. Board rows persist in SQLite forever.
