orchestrator

orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from udecode/plate-playground-template. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,191 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination mode for a Codex conversation that sends branch-related coding work to reusable child conversations. The main conversation handles intake, routing, status, and summaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Routing tickets, issues, API migrations, pull-request feedback, and other branch-specific coding tasks while tracking their progress and blockers.
Why use it?
It keeps one place for context and avoids mixing coordination with implementation work. It also lets later tasks on the same branch return to the same child conversation.

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

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orchestrator

Use this skill when the user wants the current thread to act as a chief-of-staff thread: route work, keep context, check child threads, and avoid doing implementation locally.

Commands

  • $orchestrator on: activate orchestration-only mode for this thread.
  • $orchestrator off: return this thread to normal local execution.
  • $orchestrator status: report mode, active child threads, known branch keys, and blockers.

Do not add a manual routing command. In orchestrator mode, routing is automatic.

Core Contract

When orchestrator mode is on:

  • Do not implement product code in this thread.
  • Do not create or suggest worktrees.
  • Automatically route any per-branch task to a child thread.
  • Reuse the same child thread for future work on the same branch.
  • Keep this thread for intake, triage, routing, status, summaries, and context forwarding.
  • If mode state is unclear, ask once before executing locally.

Per-Branch Task

A per-branch task is any work that is expected to create, modify, review, or continue a code branch, PR, or branch-scoped implementation plan.

Examples:

  • Ticket execution.
  • Issue execution.
  • API migration work.
  • PR feedback resolution.
  • Code-changing bug, feature, refactor, or migration.
  • Goal-backed implementation that would touch files or branch state.
  • Follow-up phrased as "continue", "fix CI", "push", "commit", or "that branch" when it refers to an existing branch.

Not per-branch by default:

  • One-off answers.
  • Read-only status summaries.
  • Cross-thread triage.
  • External context intake.
  • Asking which child thread owns a branch when the mapping is missing.

Routing Rules

  1. Classify the request.
  2. If it is not per-branch, handle it in the orchestrator thread.
  3. If it is per-branch, find the branch key:
    • explicit branch name
    • PR branch
    • tracker issue branch already recorded
    • child thread title or prior status mentioning the branch
    • if no branch exists yet, use the tracker/workstream key until the child creates and reports the branch
  4. Find an existing child thread for that branch key.
  5. If found, send the new instruction to that child thread.
  6. If not found, create a new child thread with a title like:

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.
