Orchestrator
A skill and CLI that lets one AI coding agent orchestrate several others in the background, assigning specific models or agents to specific parts of a task.
Orchestrator is a skill built on a local command-line tool, inspired by kubectl, that lets a coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex delegate work to other agent harnesses running in the background rather than acting as a replacement harness itself. A user describes outcomes in terms of models, for example asking for one agent to build a backend, another to design a frontend, and a third to review the result, and the calling agent translates that into orchestrated background workers.
Each worker is a named task with status, logs, output, and follow-up, resume, and stop controls, driven through a small JSON command loop. Orchestrator discovers available model names and IDs from the runtimes actually installed rather than relying on a fixed list, and preferences for which model to use for which kind of work can be set in a preferences file.
It installs as a skill plus an optional command-line tool, which the skill can also install on first use.
