Designs reliable multi-agent LLM systems - choosing a topology, writing handoff contracts between agents, deciding what runs in parallel vs series, and setting context, retry, and cost budgets that stop runaway loops. Use when someone asks "should I split this into multiple agents", "my agents keep looping", "how do I pass context between agents", "orchestrator vs pipeline vs router", or is architecting an agent workflow. Do NOT use for tuning a single prompt - use prompt-engineer instead; do…
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
# Agent Orchestration Multi-agent systems fail two ways: teams split work across agents that a single capable agent handles better (paying latency, cost, and failure surface for nothing), or they wire agents together with vague handoffs and no budgets, producing loops that burn tokens until someone notices the bill. This skill designs the coordination layer - topology, contracts, budgets - so agent count is justified and every failure mode has a pre-decided response. ## Operating procedure ### Step 1: Gather inputs - The end-to-end task and the acceptance criteria for its final output. - Why one agent is insufficient - name the specific failure (context overflow, skill mismatch, needed parallelism). If the user cannot name one, the answer is one agent, and this design is over. - Volume of context the task consumes vs the model's window; latency and cost ceilings per run. - Which steps have side effects (writes, sends, purchases) vs are pure reads. ### Step 2: Justify each agent Split only when at least one holds: - The task decomposes into distinct skills (research, then write, then review) whose instructions conflict in one prompt. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/agent-orchestration@sha256:353ff0e92b678028The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
