How does it manage subagents?

It assigns specific roles like 'researcher' or 'architect' to different Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) based on the task's complexity and sets strict token budgets to prevent runaway costs.

What phases does the orchestrator support?

The skill manages a complete development lifecycle including Intake, Research, Explore, Design, Implement, Review, Debug, and Git operations.

What is the orchestrate skill for?

It is the primary workflow controller for complex tasks, managing specialized subagents and enforcing structured project phases from design to deployment.

Can I bypass manual approval checkpoints?

Yes, users can enable 'autopilot' mode via the included state management CLI to bypass manual confirmations for faster, fully automated iterations.

How does it ensure code safety?

It uses an enforcement hook that restricts tool usage based on the current phase and prevents dangerous operations without explicit user approval or successful review passes.

Productivity & Workflow

Coordinates complex agent-based workflows by managing phase transitions, subagent delegation, and mandatory safety checkpoints.

About

The orchestrate skill serves as the central command for the Agent Swarm system, facilitating a structured multi-phase development process. It guides tasks through a rigorous pipeline—from initial intake and research to design, implementation, and automated review—ensuring that specialized subagents (Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus) are deployed with specific token budgets. By enforcing state management and configurable checkpoints, it provides developers with a disciplined framework for executing high-level software engineering tasks without losing control over architectural integrity or API costs.
