orchestrate

name: orchestrate description: Produce a structured delegation plan for parallel agent execution. Takes a task description or plan output, analyzes dependencies, assigns agents, and groups tasks for parallel execution. Use after /plan-task or when you need to plan how to delegate work across agents. argument-hint: "[task description or plan output]" context: fork agent: orchestrator

Produce a structured delegation plan for the following:

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Read the input: If a task plan is provided, analyze its tasks and dependencies. If only a description is provided, first break down the work, then plan delegation.
Research the codebase: Explore relevant files to understand what agents will need to work with.
Assign agents: Match each task to the best-suited agent based on expertise.
Group for parallelism: Identify which tasks can run in parallel (no shared file edits, no dependencies between them).
Order by dependencies: Tasks that depend on others go in later groups.
Output the delegation plan: Use the structured format below.

Output Format

## Delegation Plan

### Overview
[One sentence summary]

### Parallel Group 1: [Name]
Dependencies: none

| Task | Agent | Description | Files |
|------|-------|-------------|-------|
| 1.1 | [agent-name] | [What to do] | [Which files] |

### Parallel Group 2: [Name]
Dependencies: Group 1

| Task | Agent | Description | Files |
|------|-------|-------------|-------|
| 2.1 | [agent-name] | [What to do] | [Which files] |

### Quality Gates
- [ ] [What must pass]

Rules

NEVER execute tasks — only plan the delegation
Maximize parallelism by grouping independent tasks
Never assign two agents to edit the same file in the same parallel group
Always schedule review agents (code-reviewer, qa, security) after implementation agents
Be specific about which files each agent should work with
