About this skill

Agent Orchestration is a skill in parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 (3.9k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, and copies of it appear in 2 other owners' repositories. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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 410 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 11 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~11
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~410

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.

Agent Orchestration Rules

When the user asks to implement something, use implementation agents to preserve main context.

The Pattern

Wrong - burns context:

Main: Read files → Understand → Make edits → Report
      (2000+ tokens consumed in main context)

Right - preserves context:

Main: Spawn agent("implement X per plan")
      ↓
Agent: Reads files → Understands → Edits → Tests
      ↓
Main: Gets summary (~200 tokens)

When to Use Agents

Task TypeUse Agent?Reason
Multi-file implementationYesAgent handles complexity internally
Following a plan phaseYesAgent reads plan, implements
New feature with testsYesAgent can run tests
Single-line fixNoFaster to do directly
Quick config changeNoOverhead not worth it

Key Insight

Agents read their own context. Don't read files in main chat just to understand what to pass to an agent - give them the task and they figure it out.

Example Prompt

Implement Phase 4: Outcome Marking Hook from the Artifact Index plan.

**Plan location:** thoughts/shared/plans/2025-12-24-artifact-index.md (search for "Phase 4")

**What to create:**
1. TypeScript hook
2. Shell wrapper
3. Python script
4. Register in settings.json

When done, provide a summary of files created and any issues.

Trigger Words

When user says these, consider using an agent:

  • "implement", "build", "create feature"
  • "follow the plan", "do phase X"
  • "use implementation agents"
