skill-orchestrator

The Skill Orchestrator is a specialized agent skill designed to bridge the gap between high-level programming goals and granular task execution. It acts as a project manager within Claude Code, transforming complex, multi-stage development requests into actionable, tracked execution plans. By scanning your available skills catalog, this orchestrator identifies the most appropriate specialized expertise for each phase of your project—whether it involves architecture design, backend implementation, frontend development, testing, or documentation.

• Intelligent Task Decomposition: Automatically parses complex requests to identify core objectives, required technical domains, and logical dependencies.

• Structured Execution Planning: Generates detailed Markdown-based execution plans (EXECUTION_PLAN.md) complete with GitHub-flavored checkboxes for progress tracking and status monitoring.

• Dual-Mode Execution: Supports Manual Mode for step-by-step guidance where the user maintains control, or Delegated Mode for hands-off execution via sub-agents.

• Skill Catalog Integration: Deeply integrates with your existing repository of skills, ensuring that each task is mapped to the exact, correct skill reference from your catalog.

• Progress Persistence: Tracks status updates, notes, and issues directly within the execution plan files to ensure consistency across sessions.

• Best used for large features, refactoring projects, or complex bug fixes that span multiple technical concerns.

• Requires a reference file (e.g., references/skills_catalog.md) to function optimally; ensure your project environment is configured with the necessary skill definitions.

• Keeps the user informed by presenting the generated plan for approval before any actual code modification begins.

• Facilitates collaboration between specialized agents, ensuring that the right tool is used for the right step at the right time.

• Highly recommended for teams looking to standardize development workflows and improve the predictability of complex AI-assisted coding tasks.
