Meta-agent supervisor that manages a fleet of Claude Code agents running in tmux windows.

  • Works in 9 steps: Resolve tmux session → Show available capacity → Collect tasks from the user → …

  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls jq, gh and git; reaches github.com and discord.com

What it does

Orchestrate is an agent skill from Elite588/AUTOGPT. Meta-agent supervisor that manages a fleet of Claude Code agents running in tmux windows. Auto-discovers spare worktrees, spawns agents, monitors state, kicks idle agents, approves safe confirmations, and recycles worktrees when done. TRIGGER when user asks to supervise agents, run parallel tasks, manage worktrees, check agent status, or orchestrate parallel work.

Its SKILL.md is about 9.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/capacity.sh`, `scripts/classify-pane.sh` and `scripts/find-spare.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Git worktrees. It works with tmux and Discord. The repository describes itself as: AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. Our mission is to provide the tools, so that you can focus on what matters. It is a powerful platform…

When your agent uses it

  • User asks to supervise agents
  • Run parallel tasks
  • Manage worktrees
  • Check agent status

Example prompts

  • “/orchestrate”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve tmux session
  2. Show available capacity
  3. Collect tasks from the user
  4. Spawn one agent per task
  5. Start the mechanical babysitter
  6. Begin supervising directly in this conversation
  7. Run /pr-test (required, serialized, use TodoWrite to queue)
  8. Do your own evaluation
  9. Decide

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e4bc5b. 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

    Ships 10 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • gh
    • git
    • claude
    • bash

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • discord.com

    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

Orchestrate loads about 9.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,435 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.2k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a paste, webhook or tunnelling service often used to send data outSKILL.md:106
    "discord_webhook": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...",

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,435 words (~9,210 tokens).

“One tmux session, N windows — each window is one agent working in its own worktree. Speak naturally; Claude maps your intent to the right scripts.”
