Use only when the user explicitly types `/orchestrate <goal>` to decompose a large task, spawn a tree of parallel cloud-agent workers/subplanners/verifiers via the Cursor SDK, and collect structured handoffs; do not invoke autonomously.
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
An explicit `/orchestrate <goal>` fans out a large task across parallel Cursor cloud agents. Workers don't talk to each other; they talk up through structured handoffs. The spawn, wait, and handoff loop lives in `scripts/cli.ts`. The planner writes `plan.json`, the script executes it, and the planner reads handoffs to decide what comes next. Long-running agent loops drift; a script with a JSON state file keeps its footing.
**Required reading: the `cursor-sdk` skill ([cursor/plugins/cursor-sdk](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/main/cursor-sdk)).** Spawning, auth, and the error taxonomy live there. Don't reimplement what that skill already documents.
## Setup
- `CURSOR_API_KEY` must be a personal/user key. Create it from [Cursor Dashboard > Integrations](https://cursor.com/dashboard/integrations), then read `cursor-sdk` Auth before using it.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.03192a5, 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.
