Claude Code Orchestrator FAQs

Question 1

What is the primary role of the Orchestrator skill?

Accepted Answer

The Orchestrator acts as a conductor that plans, decomposes, and delegates work to specialized 'Worker' agents rather than executing every command itself, enabling parallel project progress.

Question 2

How does this skill handle complex dependencies?

Accepted Answer

It uses a task management system where tasks can be created with 'blockedBy' dependencies, ensuring that agents only begin work when their prerequisites are completed.

Question 3

Does the Orchestrator write code directly?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no. The Orchestrator's philosophy is to 'Orchestrate, Don't Execute.' It delegates coding, file editing, and bash commands to worker agents to maintain high-level project oversight.

Question 4

What is Worker Mode within this skill?

Accepted Answer

Worker Mode is a restricted state for spawned agents that prevents them from creating more sub-agents, forcing them to focus strictly on completing a single assigned task.

Question 5

Can this skill be used for existing codebases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes specialized domain guides for research, code review, and software development to help it understand and manipulate existing projects efficiently.
