What it does
Agent Orchestration is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Supervise multi-agent workflows over repeated passes: poll progress, unblock waiting agents, coordinate dependencies, relay outputs, resolve conflicts, and verify completion. Use only for ongoing multi-agent coordination, not one-off list/detail/send/start/kill actions.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration and Quality gates. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Multi-agent orchestration
- Tasks that involve Quality gates
Example prompts
- “/agent-orchestration”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scan agents.
- Assess agents needing attention with detail --tail 10.
- Act: approve, clarify, correct, delegate, relay, verify, or escalate.
- Report one brief status line.
- Sleep 10-60s and repeat.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Agent Orchestration loads about 475 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

- description
- AI DevKit · Supervise multi-agent workflows over repeated passes: poll progress, unblock waiting agents, coordinate dependencies, relay outputs, resolve conflicts, and verify completion. Use only for ongoing multi-agent coordination, not one-off list/detail/send/start/kill actions.
Agent Orchestration
Use only for multi-agent supervision: coordinating dependencies, polling progress, unblocking waiting agents, relaying outputs, resolving conflicts, and verifying completion across agents. For one-off list/detail/send/start/kill work, use $agent-management or $agent-communication.
Use $agent-management for safe agent selection and lifecycle actions. Use $agent-communication for list/detail/send mechanics. Use $verify before accepting any agent's completion claim.
Rules
- Own the loop until assigned work is complete, blocked, or stopped.
- Run
agent list --jsonbefore each pass; never assume names/statuses. - Inspect waiting, idle, unknown, missing, or stale agents before acting.
- Send self-contained instructions and avoid duplicate follow-ups.
- Sequence agents that touch the same files; relay only relevant upstream output.
- Escalate only for repeated failures, unresolved conflicts, product/business decisions, or destructive/shared/production/security-sensitive actions.
Loop
If the goal or agent ownership is unclear, run one scan/detail pass. Ask the user once only if context is still insufficient.
- Scan agents.
- Assess agents needing attention with
detail --tail 10. - Act: approve, clarify, correct, delegate, relay, verify, or escalate.
- Report one brief status line.
- Sleep 10-60s and repeat.
Completion
Finish when all assigned work is verified, blocked with a clear reason, or stopped by the user. Summarize per-agent outcomes, verification, unresolved issues, and next step.
