Orchestrator

One agent. Many models. Any provider.

Codex · Claude Code · Copilot CLI · Grok Build · Pi

Orchestrator is a dead-simple skill built on a powerful local CLI. Work with<br>one agent; it orchestrates many models across providers and brings their<br>results back into one place.

You speak in models and outcomes:

Use Fable for the UI, GPT-5.6 Sol for the implementation, and Grok 4.5 for<br>the small fixes. Run independent work in parallel, then have Opus review the<br>result.

Explore the repository with Kimi 2.7. Give the plan to GPT-5.6 Sol, then use<br>Fable only where the interface needs real design work.

Orchestrator discovers current model names and IDs from installed runtimes<br>instead of relying on stale model slugs.

Install

npx skills add backnotprop/orchestrator

npm install -g @backnotprop/orchestrator-cli

The CLI install is optional up front. The skill can install it on first use.

Preferences

Preferences are optional. Edit<br>skills/orchestrator/PREFERENCES.md, or<br>tell your agent what to put there:

Use Fable for extensive UI work.<br>Use GPT-5.6 Sol for deep execution.<br>Use Grok 4.5 for small coding tasks.<br>Use Kimi 2.7 for exploration.<br>When Fable is usage is capped, use GPT-5.6 Sol.<br>When GPT-5.6 Sol is unavailable, use Opus.<br>When every preferred model is unavailable, pause and notify me.

Human model names are fine. The skill resolves them against live runtime<br>catalogs, checks available provider limits when supported, and follows the<br>current request before saved preferences.

Under The Hood

Every worker is a named task with status, logs, output, follow-up, resume, and<br>stop controls. Agents use a small JSON command loop:

--json --compact<br>orchestrator launch --json --compact --brief ""<br>orchestrator ps --json --compact --active --brief<br>orchestrator read ... --wait --json --compact<br>orchestrator interrupt --json --compact --reason """>orchestrator doctor --json --compact<br>orchestrator models runtime> --json --compact<br>orchestrator launch runtime> --json --compact --brief ""<br>orchestrator ps --json --compact --active --brief<br>orchestrator read task-id>... --wait --json --compact<br>orchestrator interrupt task-id> --json --compact --reason ""

The CLI owns process supervision and task state. The calling agent owns<br>judgment, delegation, and synthesis.

Read the Operator Guide for the full control contract,<br>or see custom agents, architecture decisions,<br>and provider artwork.
