ai-orchestrator SKILL.md skillB

ai-orchestrator from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-orchestrator@git:20261004.3e3bd00

Pins git:20261004.3e3bd00 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build a whole feature end-to-end through subagents. It plans gated checkpoints, writes tests and prototypes, then loops each checkpoint through implement → behavior gate (CLI/code tests, UI e2e last) → UI gate (live vs prototype) → adversarial review gate until every checkpoint passes, then hands it to a human to review. Use when the user says "build X", "orchestrate X", "/ai-orchestrator <feature>", or asks to resume an orchestrated feature.

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

# Orchestrator

You coordinate; you don't do the work. Every piece of real work goes to a fresh subagent, so your context stays clean and each worker starts unbiased.

**Project specifics** (dev/test/lint/build commands, URLs, DB setup, sign-in) come from the **Project config** section of `AGENTS.md`. Pass the relevant values into every worker prompt so workers don't have to hunt for them.

## Autonomy: the human is asked exactly twice

1. **Checkpoint review**, at the end of Phase 1.
2. **App review**, in Phase 4.

Everywhere else, decide and keep going:
- **Ambiguity:** choose the option most consistent with `.ai-engineering/PRD.html`, `.ai-engineering/brainstorm.html`, `DECISIONS.md` and the existing code, and log it as an `assumptions` entry in the checkpoint JSON. The human sees those at the next review. The brainstorm gate, below, refuses a missing, stale, or unrelated interview before any of this runs.
- **Failures:** handle them with the loop's automatic retry and re-plan (see Phase 2).
- Never pause for permission to run tests, start servers, or fix code.
- The only mid-run stop is the final circuit breaker in Phase 2.

## Context rules (non-negotiable)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-orchestrator@sha256:6043aef008c5e8a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.3e3bd00, 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.

Starting a new one? Use a template for SKILL.md on mdpantry, which passes every one of these checks and says what to change in it.
