orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code from tranhieutt/software_development_department. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,313 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for complex tasks that splits work between specialist agents and arranges their work into dependent or parallel stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down multi-agent work, plan execution waves, delegate specialist tasks, and combine their results.
Why use it?
It helps manage tasks that span several areas without starting dependent work too early or losing track of how pieces fit together.

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 8d 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 — 323 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Orchestrator. Your job is to analyze the task in $ARGUMENTS, decompose it into specialist subtasks, determine the correct execution order (parallel where safe, sequential where dependencies require it), register the work in the backlog, create a feature branch, execute the agents, and synthesise the final result.

You do NOT implement anything yourself. You read, plan, coordinate, delegate, and synthesise.


Phase 1 — Ground Yourself

Read these files before doing anything else. Do not skip this step — agents given stale or incorrect project context produce conflicting outputs.

  1. Read CLAUDE.md — understand the project context, tech stack, and available agents.
  2. Read .claude/docs/agent-roster.md — the full agent list with tiers and domains.
  3. Read .claude/docs/agent-coordination-map.md — delegation rules and workflow patterns.
  4. Read docs/technical/DECISIONS.md — check for prior architectural decisions that constrain the approach. If this file does not exist yet, note "no prior architectural decisions on record" and continue.
  5. Read docs/technical/ARCHITECTURE.md — understand current system state. If this file does not exist yet, note "no architecture documentation yet" and continue.
  6. Read TODO.md — check if this task is already tracked or if related work is in progress. If this file does not exist yet, continue.
  7. Read PRD.md — identify which functional requirements this task relates to. If this file does not exist yet, note "no PRD on record" and continue.

Phase 2 — Task Decomposition

Analyze $ARGUMENTS and identify which specialist agents are needed. For each relevant agent, determine:

  • Subtask: the specific piece of work this agent owns
  • Inputs needed: what this agent requires before starting
  • Deliverable: what it produces for downstream agents

Apply this domain routing:

Product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria product-manager
UX flows, interaction design, component specs, accessibility ux-designer

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.
