orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code from vasuag09/harness-claude. It costs 140 tokens per session (2,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for splitting a large coding task across workers and combining their results. It uses dependency-ordered waves and assigns each file one writer at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
It decomposes tasks, dispatches parallel workers, tracks dependencies, reconciles their summaries, and keeps workers from overwriting the same file.
Why use it?
It reduces conflicts when several independent parts of a multi-file task can be worked on concurrently.

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

/orchestrate — split the work, fan out, reconcile

Goal: take a task that spans many independent files and do it in parallel without two workers ever clobbering the same file. This skill is the discipline layer: the platform Workflow tool is the engine (parallel()/pipeline() + agent(prompt, {schema})); /harness-claude:orchestrate is the lead — it decomposes the task, assigns one writer per file, dispatches workers under explicit contracts, and reconciles their structured summaries into one result.

Opt-in. No default-pipeline skill or hook fans out. Parallel orchestration is always explicit. Git boundary: a run never commits or pushes unless you explicitly arm it in the objective; the lead creates one shared convention-named branch for the whole task before fan-out (rules/git.md) — workers never branch. Token discipline: workers return summaries, not raw dumps (per rules/agents.md).

This is the parallel-fan-out mode from rules/agents.md. Reach for it when the work is splittable into 3+ tasks whose concurrent members have disjoint write-sets. Tasks that depend on each other's output aren't excluded — they run in later waves, not the same batch. Only if the whole task is one unsplittable sequence is this the wrong mode.

How it works

decompose  →  group into waves (by depends_on)  →  per wave: verify disjointness → fan out (Workflow)  →  reconcile
  1. Decompose the task into subtasks (T1, T2, …), each scoped to a set of files it will write and a depends_on list of prior task IDs. (A PLAN.md from /harness-claude:plan already carries this format — see docs/state-and-artifacts.md.)
  2. Assign owners — every writable file belongs to exactly one subtask.
  3. Group into waves — topologically sort by depends_on: tasks with depends_on: [] form wave 1; a task joins the wave after the latest wave of its dependencies. Waves run sequentially; tasks within a wave run in parallel. A fully-independent task set collapses to a single wave (identical to the pre-wave behavior — backward compatible). A dependency cycle is an error: refuse to run and name the cycle.
  4. Per wave: verify disjointness, then fan out — before each wave's batch, check that its tasks' write-sets are pairwise disjoint (refuse and name the file if not); dispatch that wave via the Workflow tool; await it before starting the next wave.
  5. Reconcile the workers' structured summaries into one result; surface conflicts/failures.

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.

orchestrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository vasuag09/harness-claude (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 2,123 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
