| description | Full multi-LLM pipeline orchestration. Runs the sheep flock decision pipeline that coordinates GPT (lead planner), Gemini, Grok, and Claude as validators. Auto-detects sheep mode from this repository. |
Orchestrate — Multi-LLM Pipeline
GPT leads planning. Other models consult. Claude validates.
Usage
/orchestrate "task description"
/orchestrate sheep "Plan spring breeding for the Katahdin ewes"
Mode is sheep by default in this repository.
How It Works
The orchestrator runs a multi-step pipeline defined in /home/user/ken/orchestrator/modes/sheep.yaml:
- Plan (GPT) — Generate breeding plan from flock data and objectives
- Expand Context (Gemini) — Add agricultural/veterinary context, Florida-specific considerations
- Challenge (Grok) — Suggest unconventional pairings, challenge trait priorities
- Validate (Claude) — Pedigree traversal, COI calculation, health log correlation, risk flagging
- Finalize (GPT) — Incorporate feedback into final structured breeding plan
Backend Invocation
IMPORTANT: Execute these commands directly using the Bash tool. Do NOT check if files exist first — just run them.
bash /home/user/ken/orchestrator/bootstrap-env.sh 2>/dev/null; pip3 install -q -r /home/user/ken/orchestrator/requirements.txt 2>/dev/null && python3 /home/user/ken/orchestrator/orchestrate.py sheep "task description"
Only if the command fails with No such file or directory or ModuleNotFoundError, tell the user:
"The orchestrator backend isn't available. Make sure the ken repo is cloned to /home/user/ken/ and run pip3 install -r /home/user/ken/orchestrator/requirements.txt."
Context Boundaries
SEND to external models
- Anonymized flock data (IDs, not names if sensitive)
- Breeding objectives and trait scores
- Health summaries (no PII)
NEVER SEND to external models
- Financial records
- Location details beyond "Florida"
Constraints
- Florida environment (high parasite pressure, humidity, heat)
- No inbreeding (enforce COI thresholds)
- Health history checked before any pairing
- Priority: parasite resistance > growth rate > maternal traits (configurable)
