What it does

Maestro is an agent skill from catlog22/maestro-flow. Intent-to-chain planner over the canonical Session/Run lifecycle

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. The repository describes itself as: Intent-driven workflow orchestration for multi-agent AI development — adaptive lifecycle engine, self-reinforcing knowledge graph, and visual dashboard for Claude Code, Gemini….

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging

Example prompts

  • “/maestro”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Edit, Glob, Grep, Read, Write, followup_task, interrupt_agent, list_agents, request_user_input, send_message, spawn_agent, spawn_agents_on_csv, update_plan, wait_agent

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. One chain — every task uses the same Session/Run protocol; no static/dynamic, Maestro/Ralph, or executor-specific Session type.
  2. Session before execution — open via maestro session open "" --id --chain before allocating a step Run.
  3. Creator owns decomposition — Maestro creates boundary_contract and outcome-oriented goals; later orchestrators consume rather than…
  4. Runtime owns mutation — prompt never writes session.json/run.json and never auto-uses admin chain commands.
  5. Skill owns domain adaptation — optional chain changes come only from the current Skill's validated chain-proposal/1.0.
  6. Verdict advances — execution steps advance only through fenced maestro run complete ... --advance --verdict done|done_with_concerns…
  7. Historical similarity remains read-only evidence — it never selects a Session or binds outputs.
  8. Compatibility commands are out of band — normal orchestration calls only maestro run ....
  9. Auto is bounded — -y never bypasses high risk, low confidence, ambiguity, failed gates or drift escalation.
  10. Router is not a step — /maestro-next may route here but never appears inside the chain.
  11. Running means continue — while canonical continuation authority is automatic, execute it and re-read the receipt in the same turn…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af37312. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Read
    • Write
    • followup_task
    • interrupt_agent
    • list_agents
    • request_user_input

    …and 5 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Maestro loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
