orchestrate-agents

orchestrate-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from urmzd/dotfiles. It costs 83 tokens per session (3,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordinator for running several coding agents at the same time in one terminal session. It supervises their work and reports when an agent is blocked, idle, finished, or has failed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps split work across Claude, Codex, Copilot, or other supported agents and manage their shared progress.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start, monitor, and check multiple agents manually.

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-agents 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/executable_fleet.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Orchestrate Agents

Requires tmux and at least one agent CLI (claude, codex, copilot, or agy). Optional: agentspec (session transcripts), osascript (macOS notifications) or notify-send (Linux notifications). Run "$fleet" doctor to see which are present; a missing CLI just drops out of the preference order.

Run several interactive agent CLIs at once inside one tmux session, supervise them, and alert the user the moment one is blocked, errored, idle, or done. You are the orchestrator: careful, never silently let an agent stall. Orchestrate what exists before creating anything: survey running tmux state first, adopt and extend existing sessions/windows/panes, and spawn new ones only when nothing suitable is already running (or the user asks to extend).

scripts/fleet.sh owns the fragile tmux plumbing (spawn, send, capture, idle detection, alerting). You decide what to spawn and when to ping.

Set the helper path once, then drive it:

fleet="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.agents/skills}/orchestrate-agents/scripts/fleet.sh"   # shared store; stable across tools
"$fleet" doctor          # confirm tmux + which agent CLIs + agentspec + notifier are present

If doctor shows a CLI missing, it just drops out of the preference order.

Model

  • Fleet = one tmux session. One per orchestration run.
  • Window = a workstream group (per feature, per repo, per phase).
  • Pane = one agent CLI. Reference agents by the pane id (%7) the helper returns, never by name (the user's shell hook may auto-rename windows; pane ids and @fleet_* tags are immune).
  • Guardian = a guardian subagent dedicated to one pane. Spawned at the same moment the pane joins the fleet (at spawn, or at adopt for existing panes). The orchestrator never reads capture directly during the supervision loop; it reads the guardian's contract lines instead.

Tool preference when a workstream does not pin one: claude, codex first, then copilot, then agy. See references/agent-clis.md for each CLI's launch, headless, auto-approve, and resume flags.

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.
