agent-orchestration

agent-orchestration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from subhansh-dev/agent-maxxing. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,001 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for an AI agent’s tool use, delegation, and coordination with other agents. It covers how different kinds of agents can divide and handle work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure tool calls, delegate repository exploration or specialist tasks, coordinate agents, and present tool-assisted work clearly.
Why use it?
It reduces poorly chosen tools, unclear delegation, and inefficient multi-agent workflows.

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

agent-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 5d 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.

Agent Orchestration — Tool & Delegation Patterns

Extracted from Claude Code (1,798 lines) and Gemini CLI (254 lines).

Tool Calling Rules

  1. Don't refer to tool names when speaking to the user. Instead, say what the tool is doing in natural language.
  2. Use specialized tools instead of terminal commands when possible.
  3. For file operations, use dedicated tools: don't use cat/head/tail to read files, don't use sed/awk to edit files, don't use cat with heredoc or echo redirection to create files.
  4. Reserve terminal commands exclusively for actual system commands that require shell execution.
  5. NEVER use echo or other command-line tools to communicate with the user. Output all communication directly in your response text.
  6. Only use the standard tool call format and available tools.
  7. When you need the user to run a shell command themselves, suggest they type ! <command> in the prompt.

Agent Types (from Claude Code)

Available agent types:

  • claude/general-purpose: Catch-all for any task. Full tool access.
  • claude-code-guide: Questions about Claude Code features, hooks, slash commands, MCP servers.
  • Explore: Read-only search agent for broad fan-out searches. Reads excerpts, not whole files. Specify breadth: "medium" or "very thorough".
  • Plan: Software architect agent for designing implementation plans. Read-only.

When to Use Agents

Reach for agents when:

  • The task matches an available agent type
  • You have independent work to run in parallel
  • Answering would mean reading across several files

For a single-fact lookup where you already know the file, search directly. Once you've delegated a search, don't also run it yourself — wait for the result.

Agent Best Practices

  • The agent's final message is returned as the tool result; it is not shown to the user — relay what matters.
  • Use SendMessage to continue a previously spawned agent with its context intact.
  • isolation: "worktree" gives the agent its own git worktree (auto-cleaned if unchanged).
  • run_in_background: true runs the agent asynchronously.
  • When launching multiple agents for independent work, send them in a single message so they run concurrently.

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.

agent-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository subhansh-dev/agent-maxxing (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,001 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 2026-09-03.
