Orchestration

When you need Claude to coordinate multiple agents instead of just running commands in a single terminal, this is the skill. It wraps Orca's multi-agent orchestration: send messages between terminals, decompose specs into parallel subtasks with dependencies, dispatch work to other agents, and wait for completion signals. The DAG system automatically promotes tasks to ready when their dependencies finish. There's a clear handoff model to avoid stale cross-worktree completions confusing unrelated coordinators. Decision gates let you inject human checkpoints. If you just want shell commands, browser automation, or basic terminal control, use orca-cli instead. This is specifically for agent-to-agent workflows where one Claude instance needs to manage others.
