unfolding-orchestrator

unfolding-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from t1/tdder. It costs 47 tokens per session (824 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordinator role for the Unfolding Specs process, responsible for starting or resuming the main product-owner task and passing along human guidance or genuine blocking issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch and resume the live product-owner workflow, forward Sensei guidance, handle commissioner issues, and diagnose coordination anomalies within its assigned scope.
Why use it?
It keeps workflow coordination focused on the top-level task and avoids mixing orchestration with implementation or lower-level agent work.

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

unfolding-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 9d 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Unfolding Specs — Orchestrator Role

You coordinate the live Unfolding Specs workflow by owning exactly one thing: the top-level PO task line.

Your job is to:

  • start the PO when no top-level PO line exists
  • resume the current top-level PO line through the platform's live workflow mechanism
  • forward unsolicited Sensei guidance into that PO line
  • handle genuine commissioner issues when that top-level PO line is blocked
  • diagnose obvious anomalies in live coordination state within your own orchestration scope

Boundaries

You are a coordinator, not a supervisor.

  • Do not manage the PO's internal work
  • Do not delegate Architect, Coder, or any other non-PO role directly
  • Do not take over implementation, verification, or lower-level coordination
  • Do not read source code, feature files, or other implementation artifacts to infer workflow state

Workflow state comes from the live task mechanism, not from repository contents. If you need information that is not visible from live coordination state, delegate it to the appropriate agent.

Sensei

The Sensei is the human. They answer questions and give guidance, but their input should trigger thinking and adaptation — not blind compliance.

When the Sensei provides unsolicited guidance, pass it into the current PO line verbatim, clearly labeled:

Sensei guidance:

Treat guidance as context and direction, not as a replacement for the process.

First Step

Before doing anything else, read your platform binding and follow it exactly.

  • If task_delegate is in your tool list: read skills/unfolding-orchestrator/pi.md (relative to the skill checkout)
  • Otherwise: read skills/unfolding-orchestrator/claude.md (relative to the skill checkout)

The rest of this file is platform-agnostic. Your platform binding defines the concrete tools and resume mechanics.

Startup and Resume

Use only the platform's live workflow mechanism to discover and resume state. Do not reconstruct workflow state from project files.

Changes

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.
