What it does

Spk Run Program Orchestrate is an agent skill from spec-kitty/spec-kitty. Orchestrate multi-repo, multi-mission Spec Kitty programs across dependencies, parallel agents, review gates, merge, and post-merge closeout.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents and Human-in-the-loop approvals. The repository describes itself as: Spec-Driven Development with organizational governance. Specs tell AI agents what to build; Charter governs how they build it. Git-native missions, enforceable workflows, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Subagents
  • Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals

Example prompts

  • “/spk-run-program-orchestrate”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Build the mission dependency order before launching work.
  2. Use spk-run-next for each mission's authoritative next action.
  3. Coordinate parallel implementation only where dependencies allow.
  4. Keep review, accept, merge, mission-review, and retrospective gates per
  5. Surface blockers as program risks without bypassing mission-level gates.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2fe1172. 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

Spk Run Program Orchestrate loads about 209 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 79 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~209

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.

spk-run-program-orchestrate

Use this skill when a user wants to coordinate several related Spec Kitty missions or repositories as one program.

Flow

  1. Build the mission dependency order before launching work.
  2. Use spk-run-next for each mission's authoritative next action.
  3. Coordinate parallel implementation only where dependencies allow.
  4. Keep review, accept, merge, mission-review, and retrospective gates per mission.
  5. Surface blockers as program risks without bypassing mission-level gates.
