About task-orchestration
task-orchestration is a skill for coordinating complex, multi-step work through requirement discovery, delegation, parallel agents, and validation. It guides users to choose an orchestration mode, track progress, and consolidate results; it advises against using the process for simple tasks.
Key features
- 01Discover requirements for complex work
- 02Decompose tasks and define boundaries
- 03Delegate work to parallel agents
- 04Track progress across workflow steps
- 05Validate and consolidate outputs
Use cases
- 01Coordinating a multi-step project
- 02Splitting parallelizable work across agents
- 03Clarifying requirements before delegation
- 04Reviewing and consolidating delegated results

Overview
Coordinate complex tasks with structured orchestration: discover requirements, spawn parallel agents, and execute multi-step workflows with validation.
When to Use
- Multi-step tasks requiring coordination or delegation
- Parallelizable workstreams
- Complex requirements discovery
Avoid when:
- The task is simple or single-file

Workflow
- Choose the orchestration mode (brainstorm, spawn, task).
- Load the matching reference.
- Execute with delegation and progress tracking.
- Validate outputs and consolidate results.
Output
- Orchestration summary
- Task progress and next steps
Common Mistakes
- Spawning without clear task boundaries
- Skipping validation gates
