agent-orchestration

agent-orchestration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS. It costs 20 tokens per session (922 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for systems where multiple AI agents work together through tools and shared state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define clear task boundaries, design tool interfaces, track outcomes, and handle errors and recovery in multi-agent workflows.
Why use it?
It reduces failures such as agents calling missing tools, producing subtly wrong results, or losing track of what succeeded.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

agent-orchestration 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 10d 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.

Overview

Multi-agent systems fail loudly or silently. Loudly: an agent calls a tool that doesn't exist. Silently: an agent completes with a subtly wrong result and the orchestrator never notices. This skill designs agent systems that are auditable, recoverable, and deterministic about what succeeded and what failed.

When to Use

  • Before designing any system with more than one AI agent
  • When building tool interfaces for agents
  • When debugging agent behavior that is unpredictable or hard to reproduce
  • Before deploying an agent to handle user-facing tasks

Process

Step 1: Define the task boundary

Agents work best on well-scoped tasks with clear completion criteria. Avoid: "make the application better." Use: "fix all TypeScript type errors in src/components/." Ambiguous tasks produce ambiguous results.

Step 2: Design the tool interface first

Tools are the agent's API to the world. Each tool must have:

  • A precise, unambiguous name
  • A description that tells the agent WHEN to use it (not just what it does)
  • Strongly-typed input schema (JSON Schema)
  • Well-defined output schema
  • Error behavior documented

Step 3: Implement tool observability

Every tool call must be logged: which tool, what inputs, what outputs, how long it took, did it succeed. This is non-negotiable — you cannot debug an agent you cannot observe.

Step 4: Design for idempotency

Tools that create or modify state must be idempotent where possible. If an agent retries a tool call (due to failure), the second call must not create duplicate state.

Step 5: Plan the agent loop

Define: what does the agent do on each step? How does it decide it's done? What is the maximum number of steps? (Always set a maximum — unbounded loops are production incidents.)

Step 6: Define the handoff protocol

If multiple agents coordinate: define exactly what one agent passes to the next. Use structured data, not natural language, for inter-agent communication. Natural language is lossy.

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.

agent-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository vignesh2027/AI-AGENT-SKILLS (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 922 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
