About orchestrating-agents
A deprecated skill for coordinating API fan-out from interfaces without native subagents and delegating to Gemini. It has been renamed `orchestrating-chat-agents`; use that skill for current guidance.
Key features
- 01API fan-out for Claude calls
- 02Gemini delegation
- 03Legacy script shims retained
Use cases
- 01Run parallel Claude API calls from claude.ai
- 02Use Claude calls through `ConversationThread` or `AgentPool`
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

From the project READMEOrchestrating Agents (deprecated)
Renamed to orchestrating-chat-agents on 2026-10-11.
Why
The old name sent requests to the wrong skill. Shown only skill names, Haiku, Sonnet and
Opus 5.5 routed 10 of 45 parallel-dispatch requests here, work that belongs to
dispatching-subagents. Of seven candidate names, orchestrating-chat-agents caught the
most of this skill's own requests (19/21 against 15/21) without drawing more of the
others' (oaustegard/experiments subagent-skill-choice). The content is the same: API
fan-out from surfaces with no native subagents, and Gemini delegation.
Where things went
| you want | go to |
|---|---|
parallel Claude calls over the API from claude.ai, ConversationThread, AgentPool | orchestrating-chat-agents |
fan-out in Claude Code: Agent tool vs Workflow vs headless claude -p | dispatching-subagents |
SendMessage / ListAgents between native subagents | dispatching-subagents/references/native-messaging.md |
| which model or effort a subagent gets | agent-routing |
scripts/ here holds shims, so sys.path.insert(0, '/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-agents/scripts')
followed by from claude_client import invoke_claude still works. Point new code at
/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-chat-agents/scripts.
