DEPRECATED, renamed to orchestrating-chat-agents. Kept so existing imports of its scripts keep working; every module here loads the same module from orchestrating-chat-agents. Use orchestrating-chat-agents for parallel Claude calls over the API from claude.ai, and dispatching-subagents for fan-out in Claude Code.
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
# Orchestrating Agents (deprecated) Renamed to [orchestrating-chat-agents](../orchestrating-chat-agents/SKILL.md) on 2026-10-11. ## Why The old name sent requests to the wrong skill. Shown only skill names, Haiku, Sonnet and Opus 5.5 routed 10 of 45 parallel-dispatch requests here, work that belongs to `dispatching-subagents`. Of seven candidate names, `orchestrating-chat-agents` caught the most of this skill's own requests (19/21 against 15/21) without drawing more of the others' (`oaustegard/experiments` subagent-skill-choice). The content is the same: API fan-out from surfaces with no native subagents, and Gemini delegation. ## Where things went | you want | go to | |---|---| | parallel Claude calls over the API from claude.ai, `ConversationThread`, `AgentPool` | `orchestrating-chat-agents` | | fan-out in Claude Code: Agent tool vs Workflow vs headless `claude -p` | `dispatching-subagents` | | `SendMessage` / `ListAgents` between native subagents | `dispatching-subagents/references/native-messaging.md` | | which model or effort a subagent gets | `agent-routing` | `scripts/` here holds shims, so `sys.path.insert(0, '/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-agents/scripts')` …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/orchestrating-agents@sha256:4bf639d67f8b932bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.0, 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.
