orchestrate

orchestrate is a skill for Claude Code from waqas1412/claude-harness. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist-based process for reviewing code yourself through selected review perspectives. It uses the actual code and command results to decide whether a change is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning, implementing, or checking a one-file fix or a larger change. It can guide which review areas to apply and what tests or checks support the result.
Why use it?
It gives a structured way to catch problems and support review conclusions with evidence without sending the work to separate agents.

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 16d 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 — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/orchestrate: run the lenses in one loop

The lenses are checklists, not agents. This skill names which ones apply to a given change, what each one asks, and what evidence closes it. You apply them yourself in this loop: you plan, you read, you edit, you run lint and build and tests, and you review your own diff before committing.

How this works: read the lens, or dispatch it

The 16 lens files in ~/.claude/agents/*.md are both the lens CONTENT and real dispatch targets. The same directory also holds implementer.md, which is a writer, not a lens. Two ways to run a lens, chosen per lens:

  • Read it and apply it here. Cheapest, and right for a small diff, or when the lens needs context this conversation already holds. Read the matching file and use its rubric as the checklist.
  • Dispatch it as a subagent. Right when an independent read is worth the round trip: a large or risky change, or a verdict you do not want coloured by the reasoning that produced the code. A reviewer in a fresh context cannot see this conversation, so name the target (diff, PR, branch, or planned change) and the baseline it answers to. Nothing more: the lens carries its own rubric, and a checklist of what you already suspect narrows it into agreeing with you. Do not hand it your findings or tell it which part to focus on.

Either way the verdict is yours. A dispatched lens returns findings, never a decision, and a finding is not true until you have checked it against the code yourself.

Every verdict follows one shape: read references/findings-contract.md before reporting anything. It defines the precision-versus-recall dial, the required failure_scenario, the three-way verdict, the report cap, and the disclosure rule. It is the same contract Claude Code's own code-review uses.

Pick the lenses, then say which you skipped

Right-size to the change:

  • One-file fix: correctness and repo-fit only.
  • Feature or multi-file change: add the two or three lenses the change actually touches.
  • Cross-cutting, shared-seam, or architecture change: the full panel.

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.
