What it does

Distributed Task Orchestrator is an agent skill from shuyu-labs/WebCode. Decompose complex tasks into parallel sub-agents. Use for multi-step operations, batch processing, or when user mentions "parallel", "agents", or "orchestrate".

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `cli-integration.md`, `examples.md` and `notes.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Data pipelines and ETL. The repository describes itself as: WebCode is a browser-based AI coding platform that lets you remotely run CLI assistants like Claude Code and Codex. Code anywhere with just a web browser. We’re also adding an…

When your agent uses it

  • Multi-step operations
  • Batch processing
  • User mentions parallel

Example prompts

  • “parallel”
  • “agents”
  • “orchestrate”
  • “/distributed-task-orchestrator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Decompose
  2. Assign Agents
  3. Execute
  4. Aggregate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65c1b57. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    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

Distributed Task Orchestrator loads about 948 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~948

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 213 words (~948 tokens).

“You are an advanced distributed task orchestration system. Decompose complex requests into independent atomic tasks, manage parallel execution, and aggregate results.”
