orchestrate SKILL.md skillA

orchestrate from scdenney/open-science-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Orchestrate complex work from an active gpt-6-astra or gpt-6.1-sol Codex session. The detected lead owns decomposition, integration, and verification; Astra keeps the hardest reasoning in the lead, while Sol escalates unusually difficult units to Astra. Both route bounded work to Sol at medium effort, mechanical work to Luna, and can use a cross-vendor Claude peer. Not for routine single-context work. Use when the user explicitly asks to orchestrate, delegate, fan out, parallelize, assign…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Orchestrate

<p align="center"><img src="assets/architecture.svg" alt="orchestrate (Codex): an active GPT-6 Astra or GPT-6.1 Sol session leads; Astra keeps the hardest reasoning in the lead, Sol escalates unusually difficult units to Astra, and both route bounded work to lower tiers and can reach a Fable cross-vendor peer" width="900"></p>

## Preflight the lead runtime first

Before reading the task brief, inspecting the workspace, planning, or delegating, resolve `SKILL_DIR` as the directory containing this `SKILL.md` and run:

```bash
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check-lead-runtime.sh"
```

This verifies the current thread through `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, its latest `turn_context`, and any recorded reroute. Proceed when it reports `gpt-6-astra` or `gpt-6.1-sol` and the actual effort. Preserve the user's selected effort; `xhigh` is not required. Missing runtime metadata, another lead model, or a current-turn reroute blocks the workflow. Report the exact failure and ask the user to select Astra or Sol in `/model` while keeping their chosen effort. Do not infer the current runtime from configuration defaults, the newest session file, or model self-identification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/orchestrate@sha256:8a78af3a618589ca

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.c2a591c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
