orchestration-protocols
Coordinates multiple agents with parallel task spawning, health monitoring, circuit breakers, and escalation paths. Use when managing parallel agents, handling agent timeouts, orchestrate agents, run tasks in parallel, concurrent agent execution, or fan-out tasks. Use when coordinating multi-agent task delegation.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (parallel spawning, health monitoring, circuit breakers, escalation paths) and provides comprehensive trigger guidance with multiple natural keyword variations. It uses proper third-person voice and is well-structured with distinct 'what' and 'when' sections, making it easy for Claude to select appropriately from a large skill set.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'parallel task spawning', 'health monitoring', 'circuit breakers', and 'escalation paths'. These are distinct, concrete capabilities rather than vague abstractions. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (coordinates multiple agents with parallel task spawning, health monitoring, circuit breakers, escalation paths) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause with multiple trigger scenarios). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'parallel agents', 'agent timeouts', 'orchestrate agents', 'run tasks in parallel', 'concurrent agent execution', 'fan-out tasks', 'multi-agent task delegation'. These cover many natural phrasings a user might employ. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Occupies a clear niche around multi-agent orchestration and parallel execution. The specific terms like 'circuit breakers', 'fan-out tasks', and 'agent timeouts' make it highly distinguishable from general task management or single-agent skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent skill file that efficiently covers orchestration protocols with concrete, actionable guidance. It excels at providing copy-paste ready commands, clear validation checkpoints at every phase, and appropriate progressive disclosure by offloading reference tables to a separate file. The content is well-structured with tables, templates, and examples that maximize information density without verbosity.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is lean and efficient throughout. It uses tables, templates, and terse bullet points without explaining concepts Claude already knows. Every section delivers actionable information without padding or unnecessary context. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete prompt templates, copy-paste CLI commands, bash verification scripts, jq validation commands, and specific examples (e.g., the context compaction example with `calculateTotal`). Guidance is executable and specific rather than abstract. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step processes are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints. The Result Merge Protocol has numbered steps with checkpoint gates. The Validation & Verification Checkpoints table covers pre-spawn through post-merge with specific commands. Feedback loops are present (re-run failed researchers, block merge on failure). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill provides a clear overview with well-organized sections, and explicitly delegates detailed health monitoring, error recovery, and circuit breaker content to REFERENCE.md. The reference is one level deep and clearly signaled. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
