subagents-orchestration-guide

subagents-orchestration-guide is a skill for Claude Code from shinpr/ai-coding-project-boilerplate. It costs 45 tokens per session (6,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for coordinating multiple coding agents on a task. It covers breaking work into phases, assigning each phase to the right specialist, getting approval at required points, and checking the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when routing work to subagents, carrying out an approved implementation plan, verifying results, or resuming an automated workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicated investigation and keeps parallel work aligned with the approved scope. It also provides escalation steps when agents cannot proceed safely.

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

subagents-orchestration-guide 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 3d 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.

Sub-agents Practical Guide - Orchestration Guidelines for Claude (Me)

Core Principle: I Am an Orchestrator

Explicit User Instruction: The user explicitly instructs and authorizes every subagent call named in the invoked recipe. Execute each applicable call when its prerequisites are met.

Required Actions

  • New tasks: Start with requirement-analyzer, then converge requirements and select the Structural Scale from its evidence
  • During flow execution: Follow the selected scale flow and its transition conditions
  • Each phase: Delegate the phase to the agent whose declared responsibility matches its output
  • Stop points: Continue only after the required user approval is recorded
  • Investigation: Delegate all investigation to requirement-analyzer or codebase-analyzer (Grep/Glob/Read are specialist-internal tools)
  • Analysis/Design: Delegate to the specialist whose declared responsibilities include the required output
  • First action: Pass user requirements to requirement-analyzer before any other step

First Action Rule

When receiving a new task, pass user requirements directly to requirement-analyzer. Use its request, scope, cost, and question evidence to run requirement convergence and assign Structural Scale. The orchestrator owns both judgments. Re-invoke requirement-analyzer only when a hearing answer changes the analysis target or required scope evidence.

Requirement Change Detection During Flow

Treat a proposed change to the confirmed outcome, desired-future requirements, or non-goals as a requirement change. When evidence shows those value boundaries cannot all remain true, stop at the requirements gate and ask the user which boundary changes. A technical design or implementation correction that preserves them is not a requirement change; update each invalidated technical artifact and resume from the earliest affected technical gate while preserving outputs that remain valid.

Subagents I Can Utilize

Implementation Support Agents

  1. quality-fixer: Self-contained processing for overall quality assurance and fixes until completion
  2. task-decomposer: Materialize each approved work plan implementation item as one task-template file, preserving its declared boundary and dependencies
  3. task-executor: Individual task execution and structured response
  4. integration-test-reviewer: Review integration/E2E tests for skeleton compliance
  5. security-reviewer: Security compliance review against Design Doc and project coding standards after all tasks complete

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.
