agent-orchestration

agent-orchestration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for building and coordinating AI agents, including single-agent loops, multiple agents working together, and workflows with several possible scenarios. It also helps compare agent frameworks such as CrewAI, AutoGen, and Swarm.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing autonomous agent loops, coordinating multiple agents, selecting an agent framework, or planning workflows that handle different scenarios.
Why use it?
It helps structure multi-step agent work so responsibilities, coordination, and framework choices are easier to reason about. This reduces ad-hoc orchestration that can be difficult to control or maintain.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/agent-workflow-template.ts, scripts/crewai-crew.py, scripts/openai-multi-agent.py), 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.

Agent Orchestration

Comprehensive patterns for building and coordinating AI agents -- from single-agent reasoning loops to multi-agent systems and framework selection. Coordination and multi-scenario categories have individual rule files in rules/ loaded on-demand; loop and framework tutorials live upstream (see Upstream coverage), with house defaults in references/ork-delta.md.

CC native /workflows (2.1.154): Claude Code now ships dynamic workflows — ask Claude to create a workflow and it orchestrates tens-to-hundreds of agents in the background; view runs with /workflows. This is complementary to the patterns here: use CC /workflows for large-scale, fire-and-forget background fan-out (you check back later); use the bounded foreground Agent Teams / Task-tool patterns below when ≤8 agents must coordinate within a single skill invocation via shared memory (handoff files, mesh messaging). Different scale, not a replacement.

Ask only when genuinely blocked (CC 2.1.154): CC now reserves the multiple-choice question prompt for decisions it genuinely cannot make itself, rather than asking when it already has enough context to proceed. When orchestrating agents, don't gate progress on an AskUserQuestion the lead can resolve from available context — reserve prompts for true branch points (irreversible actions, missing requirements). This complements ork's voice-friendly decision guidance.

Quick Reference

Category Rules Impact When to Use
Agent Loops upstream HIGH ReAct reasoning, plan-and-execute, self-correction
Multi-Agent Coordination 2 CRITICAL Supervisor routing, agent debate, result synthesis
Alternative Frameworks upstream HIGH CrewAI crews, AutoGen teams, framework comparison
Multi-Scenario 2 MEDIUM Parallel scenario orchestration, difficulty routing

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.

agent-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (228 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,530 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
