Q: How do I install orchestrate in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add timschoch/skilly --skill orchestrate -a claude-code`, then check `~/.claude/skills/orchestrate/SKILL.md`.

Q: What does the orchestrate skill do?

It coordinates `/implement` agents across the sub-issues of a feature, relays review results, verifies repository state, watches CI, and manages pull request merges.

orchestrate coordinates a feature split across GitHub sub-issues, assigning /implement agents and handling review, CI, merges, and cleanup.

What orchestrate does

orchestrate treats the parent GitHub issue as the plan. It reads sub-issues through GraphQL, checks their dependency edges, reviews the affected code seams, and starts one /implement agent for each work package. Shared-file conflicts are handled through sequencing or an agreed rebase rule. The orchestrator does not edit src/.

The skill relays review findings, checks branches on the remote, inspects git diff --stat, watches CI, and merges pull requests in the required order. GitHub comments hold decisions, questions, progress, and blockers. If the sub-issues are missing or vague, the run stops and asks the owner instead of inventing a new breakdown.

What it helps with

split a feature across GitHub sub-issues
assign one /implement agent to each work package
order tickets by their “Blocked by” links
verify agent changes before merging pull requests
watch CI and clean up branches and worktrees

Example prompts for the agent

Use the orchestrate skill for the parent GitHub issue and run one /implement agent per sub-issue.
Inspect the “Blocked by” links, identify shared-file hotspots, and set the merge order.
Before merging, verify the remote branch, git diff --stat, review fixes, and CI status.

What does the orchestrate skill do?

It coordinates /implement agents across the sub-issues of a feature, relays review results, verifies repository state, watches CI, and manages pull request merges.

What happens when the sub-issues are missing or unclear?

The run stops and asks the owner to clarify them. The skill does not create its own work packages.

orchestrate by other authors comes first.
