orchestration

orchestration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawrus/agent-guides. It costs 0 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Pipeline orchestration is the design and operation of scheduled data workflows, here using Airflow. Airflow workflows, called DAGs, describe tasks and their order, including retries and failure notifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design Airflow workflows, set schedules, configure retries and backoff, prevent concurrent runs, and write tasks that are safe to run again.
Why use it?
It helps scheduled jobs recover from temporary failures without creating duplicate or overlapping work. It also makes pipeline behavior easier to control and debug.

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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Pipeline Orchestration (Airflow)

When to load

When designing DAGs, debugging pipeline failures, or configuring retries.

DAG Template

with DAG(
    dag_id="orders_pipeline",
    default_args={
        "owner": "data-platform",
        "retries": 3,
        "retry_delay": timedelta(minutes=5),
        "retry_exponential_backoff": True,
        "email_on_failure": True,
    },
    schedule="0 4 * * *",
    catchup=False,          # ← Never True; causes backfill avalanche
    max_active_runs=1,      # Prevent concurrent runs
) as dag:
    ...

Idempotent Task Pattern

def load_orders(execution_date: str, **context):
    """Safe to retry: DELETE + INSERT on target partition."""
    partition = execution_date[:10]
    with warehouse.connect() as conn:
        conn.execute(f"DELETE FROM stg_orders WHERE order_date = '{partition}'")
        conn.execute(f"INSERT INTO stg_orders SELECT * FROM raw_orders WHERE DATE(created_at) = '{partition}'")

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.

orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository sawrus/agent-guides (17 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 239 tokens. 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.
