What it does

Cross Repo Orchestration is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. Use when coordinating changes across multiple repositories — syncing skills, templates, agents, or harness policies between upstream and downstream repos, or designing portfolio-level agent orchestration

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sync-patterns.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….

When your agent uses it

  • Coordinating changes across multiple repositories — syncing skills
  • Harness policies between upstream and downstream repos
  • Designing portfolio-level agent orchestration

Example prompts

  • “/cross-repo-orchestration”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify what changed upstream — review the changelog, diff,
  2. For each downstream repo

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. 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 (its code samples are yaml).

    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

Cross Repo Orchestration loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 603 words (~1,528 tokens).

“When a project spans multiple repositories, the practices that work within a single repo — specification-driven development, harness enforcement, compound learning — must extend across repo boundaries. This skill teaches two patterns for cross-repo coordination, each suited to a different…”
