orchestrating-skills SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
orchestrating-skills from oaustegard/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/orchestrating-skills@v0.4.1Pins v0.4.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Skill-aware orchestration with context routing. Decomposes complex tasks into skill-typed subtasks, extracts targeted context subsets, executes subagents in parallel, and synthesizes results. Self-answers trivial lookups inline. No SDK dependency — uses raw HTTP via httpx. Use when tasks require multiple analytical perspectives, when context is large and subtasks only need portions, or when orchestrating-chat-agents spawns too many redundant subagents.
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
## SURFACE ROUTING — read first This skill hand-rolls subagent orchestration via raw Anthropic API calls. A managed runtime now does the same job. Which one to use depends on your surface: - **In Claude Code (incl. CCotw): use the native runtime, NOT this skill.** If you can invoke `/deep-research`, trigger a run with the `workflow` keyword, set `/effort ultracode`, or spawn Task subagents — do that instead. The runtime gives 16-concurrent / 1000-agent ceilings, an approval gate, adversarial cross-review, and in-session resume that this skill would otherwise reimplement badly. Dynamic workflows shipped in research preview (Claude Code v2.1.154+, 2026). - **In claude.ai chat or the bare API (no workflow runtime): use this skill.** Parallel API instances over httpx is the only fan-out path here. Proceed below. Discriminator: do you have a native subagent/Task tool or a workflow command? Yes → native. No → this skill. Never reimplement the runtime where it already exists. # Skill-Aware Orchestration Orchestrate complex multi-step tasks through a four-phase pipeline that eliminates redundant context processing and reflexive subagent spawning. ## When to Use …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/orchestrating-skills@sha256:013760659e9ec69cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.1, 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.
