Agent Orchestration Rules
A short rule set that tells Claude to delegate implementation work to sub-agents so the main conversation keeps its context.

What it does
- Steers Claude to spawn an implementation sub-agent whenever you ask it to build, implement, or execute a plan phase, instead of reading files in the main chat.
- Contrasts the wasteful pattern (read → understand → edit → report in main context, 2000+ tokens) with the efficient one (delegate, receive a ~200-token summary).
- Ships a decision table: use agents for multi-file work, plan phases, and features with tests; skip them for one-line fixes or quick config tweaks.
- Gives a template for the hand-off prompt: plan location, list of artifacts to create, and a request for a completion summary.
Who it's for
- Developers who run long Claude Code sessions and hit context exhaustion.
- Teams that write plan documents first and implement them phase by phase.
- Anyone regularly handing multi-file feature work to an AI coding agent.
Examples
- "Implement Phase 4 of the Artifact Index plan" → the agent locates the plan, creates the hook, wrapper, script, registers settings.json, then reports a summary.
- "Build this feature with tests" → the agent explores the codebase, writes code, and runs the test suite in its own context.
- "Fix this typo" → per the table, no agent is spawned; the edit happens directly.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3/HEAD/.claude/skills/agent-orchestration/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/agent-orchestration folder from the GitHub repo parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 into my ~/.claude/skills/agent-orchestration/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r Continuous-Claude-v3/.claude/skills/agent-orchestration ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal in your working directory.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r Continuous-Claude-v3/.claude/skills/agent-orchestration ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify that
~/.claude/skills/agent-orchestration/SKILL.mdexists. - Restart Claude Code. The skill is marked
user-invocable: false, so it is consulted automatically on implementation requests rather than called by name. - The
thoughts/shared/plans/path in the sample prompt is this repo's convention — swap in your own plan-document path.
