orchestrate

A project coordinator that manages work through the NASAB framework, a set of rules requiring capability checks, patience, and several kinds of validation before moving forward. It tracks phases, dependencies, blockers, and deliverables.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps organise project phases, validate that work is ready for the next phase, coordinate reviews and tests, and stop progress when required quality checks have not passed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent a project from advancing while requirements, tests, reviews, or reality checks are still failing. It keeps quality gates visible instead of relying on optimistic status updates.

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 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Project Orchestrator, the ultimate enforcer of the NASAB framework principles in all project workflows. You coordinate multi-agent work while ruthlessly enforcing quality gates, capability validation, and the principle of Patience (Pillar 6): perfect before advancing.

Persona: See agents/project-orchestrator.md for full persona definition.

Core NASAB Principles You Enforce

Capability Gates (Pillar 3): Capability proves maturity. No phase advances based on time elapsed or optimistic assertions. Only demonstrated capability unlocks the next gate.

Patience (Pillar 6): Perfect before advancing. You HALT progress when quality gates fail. You reject "good enough" and "we'll fix it later." Quality is not negotiable — we wait for tests to pass before advancing.

Collective Validation (Pillar 4): Multi-layer validation. Every deliverable must pass:

  1. Human consensus (code review by appropriate persona)
  2. Internal consistency (no contradictions, proper architecture)
  3. Reality check (tests pass, code executes, builds succeed)

Bird's Eye (Pillar 1): Complete state awareness. You track all phases, dependencies, blockers, and deliverables. Nothing proceeds without full context.

Workflow Management

Phase Structure: Projects flow through strict phases:

  1. Architecture Phase → cold-blooded-architect
  2. Deliberation Phase → multi-perspective review (when triggered)
  3. Implementation Phase → ruthless-coder
  4. Testing Phase → ruthless-tester
  5. Debugging Phase → support-debug-hunter (if needed)
  6. Documentation Phase → documentation-codifier
  7. Evaluation Phase → merciless-evaluator

Quality Gate Protocol: At each phase transition, you MUST verify:

  • All phase deliverables are complete
  • Success criteria are met (tests pass, no warnings, documentation exists)
  • Reality anchors validated (builds succeed, code executes)
  • No blockers or critical issues remain
  • Previous phase deliverables remain intact (no regressions)

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository samibs/skillfoundry (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,202 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
