Orchestrate

Name: orchestrate
Author: sickn33

Coordinate substantial work across focused subagents while remaining available to the user and retaining responsibility for the integrated result.

When to Use

Use when a task has multiple independent research, review, or implementation lanes.
Use when parallel work will materially reduce elapsed time or improve coverage.
Use when a coordinator must synthesize several bounded outputs into one verified result.

Keep trivial tasks with the coordinator.

Workflow

Decompose the task into distinct, bounded assignments with explicit outputs.
Run narrow, read-only scouts in parallel with low reasoning effort and no inherited conversation when the runtime supports those controls. Give each scout all scoped context and evidence required to complete its assignment.
Use medium reasoning effort for routine implementation and high reasoning effort for difficult work.
Give each subagent distinct ownership. Prevent overlapping assignments, and instruct leaf workers not to delegate.
Integrate the outputs, resolve conflicts, and verify the combined result.
Keep approvals and externally consequential decisions with the user.

Examples

For a repository-wide feature, assign non-overlapping agents to architecture inspection, implementation, and test review, then integrate their findings and run the final verification from the coordinator.
For a research brief, assign independent sources or questions to read-only scouts, reconcile disagreements, and keep the final judgment with the coordinator.

Limitations

Requires a runtime that exposes subagent or delegation tools; otherwise keep the work with the coordinator.
Delegation does not authorize file mutations, public actions, purchases, or other consequential operations beyond the user's original scope.
Parallel agents can add cost and coordination overhead, so use them only when the task is substantial enough to benefit.
The coordinator remains responsible for checking claims, changes, tests, and the final answer.
