description	Orchestrate workflows across multiple AI models (Perplexity, GPT, Grok, Claude, Gemini) for comprehensive security research, competition execution, and strategic analysis using GUI interfaces or API automation

Multi-Model Orchestration Skill

Overview

This Skill provides workflows for orchestrating tasks across multiple state-of-the-art (SOTA) AI models. It enables strategic task decomposition where each model handles its specialized strength: Perplexity for live intelligence, GPT for strategic planning, Grok for risk analysis, Claude for code generation, and Gemini for security audits.

Key Insight: Different models excel at different tasks. Orchestration maximizes overall success by leveraging each model's strengths in sequence or parallel.

When to Use This Skill

Claude should invoke this Skill when the user:

• Mentions "multi-model" workflows or orchestration
• Asks about using multiple AI models together
• Needs strategic planning + code generation + security audit
• References Perplexity, GPT, Grok, or Gemini for specific tasks
• Wants to leverage GUI-accessible models for complex workflows
• Mentions context-pack.txt or ops-log.md (multi-model session tracking)
• Asks about 5-model workflows or SOTA model combinations
• Needs live intelligence combined with code generation

5-Model Workflow Architecture

Model Selection & Task Mapping

Phase	Model	Primary Strength	Task	Time
1. Intel	Perplexity Pro	Live web search	Gather latest intel (<48h)	5-10 min
2. Strategy	GPT-5 / ChatGPT	Strategic planning	Create execution plan	10-15 min
3. Risk	Grok 4	Risk analysis	Identify failure modes	10-15 min
4. Code	Claude 4.5	Code generation	Generate scripts/payloads	15-20 min
5. Audit	Gemini 2.5 Pro	Security review	Final security audit	10-15 min

Total Planning Time: 50-70 minutes

User's Available Models (GUI-accessible):

• gemini → claude → chatgpt → perplexity → kimi → deepseek → grok → qwen

Mapping to Available Models:

1. Intel: perplexity → grok
2. Strategy: chatgpt → claude → kimi
3. Risk: grok → deepseek
4. Code/Payloads: claude → deepseek → qwen
5. Audit: gemini → claude

Core Workflows

1. GUI-Based Orchestration (Manual Handoffs)

Best For: Users without API access or preferring GUI interfaces

Workflow:

1. Open Perplexity → Run intel prompt
2. Copy output to context-pack.txt
3. Open ChatGPT → Paste context + strategy prompt
4. Copy output to ops-log.md
5. Open Claude → Paste context + code prompt
6. Generate code/payloads
7. Open Gemini → Paste code + audit prompt
8. Verify security

Session Tracking:

• context-pack.txt: Static briefing (updated once at session start)
• ops-log.md: Rolling transcript (updated after each model)

Time: 50-70 minutes total

Success Rate: 70-90% (higher than single-model approaches)

2. API-Based Orchestration (Automated)

Best For: Users with API keys for multiple models

Script: scripts/gray-swan-orchestration.py

Workflow:

export RED_TEAM_RESEARCH_MODE=ENABLED

# Configure API keys (via Doppler or .env)
export PERPLEXITY_API_KEY="your-key"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key"
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-key"
export GROK_API_KEY="your-key"

# Run full orchestration
python scripts/gray-swan-orchestration.py \
  --challenge "IPI Wave 1 Challenge 3" \
  --output-dir $PAYLOAD_OUTPUT_DIR/orchestrated/

Output:

• Intel summary (Perplexity)
• Strategic plan (GPT)
• Risk assessment (Grok)
• Generated payloads (Claude)
• Security audit (Gemini)
• ops-log.md (complete transcript)

Time: 15-20 minutes (automated)

Success Rate: 70-90%

3. Fast Path (Minimal Orchestration)

Best For: Quick execution with 2-3 models

Workflow:

1. Perplexity → Intel gathering (5 min)
2. ChatGPT → Strategic plan (10 min)
3. Execute directly (30-40 min)

Skip: Risk analysis, security audit (optional phases)

Time: 45-65 minutes total

Success Rate: 60-75% (trade speed for thoroughness)

Execution Patterns

Pattern 1: Sequential (Thorough)

Flow: Perplexity → ChatGPT → Grok → Claude → Gemini → Execute

Time: 50-70 min planning + 30-90 min execution

Success Rate: 70-90%

Best For: High-stakes challenges (MITM $100K prize)

Pattern 2: Parallel (Fast)

Flow:

• Parallel: Perplexity + Grok (intel + risk)
• Then: ChatGPT (strategy)
• Then: Claude (code)
• Skip: Gemini audit

Time: 30-45 min planning + 30-90 min execution

Success Rate: 60-75%

Best For: Time-sensitive competitions with multiple attempts

Pattern 3: Iterative (Adaptive)

Flow:

1. Perplexity → ChatGPT → Execute
2. If failed → Claude (refine) → Execute
3. If failed → Grok (diagnose) → Claude (fix) → Execute

Time: Variable (30-120 min)

Success Rate: 80-95% (eventually)

Best For: Complex challenges with unclear solution paths

Integration with Gray Swan Competition

Wave 1 Workflow

Fast Path (30-40 min to first break):

1. Skip orchestration
2. Use pre-made payloads (GRAY-SWAN-WAVE-1-PAYLOADS.md)
3. Execute directly on platform

Full Workflow (60-90 min planning + execution):

1. Perplexity: Latest IPI defense intel
2. ChatGPT: Which challenge first? (recommend Challenge 3)
3. Claude: Refine Template D payloads
4. Execute on Gray Swan platform
5. Gemini: Verify evidence complete

Success Probability:

• Fast path: 50-80% per challenge
• Full workflow: 70-90% per challenge
• With 9 models: 95%+ overall

MITM Workflow

Recommended Approach:

1. Perplexity: Latest H-CoT research
2. ChatGPT: Strategic plan (H-CoT + IPI combination)
3. Claude: Generate H-CoT payloads + IPI arsenal
4. Grok: Risk analysis (what could block 95% ASR?)
5. Execute with layer combinations
6. Gemini: Audit evidence

Expected ASR: 95%+ with H-CoT + IPI + 3 layers

Prize: $100,000 (0% awarded - high opportunity)

Script Features

• Authorization Check: Requires RED_TEAM_RESEARCH_MODE=ENABLED
• Model Selection: Choose which models to invoke
• API Key Management: Supports Doppler or .env
• Session Tracking: Auto-updates ops-log.md
• Error Handling: Fallback models if primary unavailable
• Output Management: Organized directory structure

Troubleshooting

Model refused to help: → Reframe as defensive research or authorized CTF → Add authorization context to prompt

API rate limit hit: → Switch to GUI workflow → Use fallback models

Inconsistent outputs between models: → Ensure context-pack.txt pasted at session start → Reference ops-log.md in prompts

Time budget exceeded: → Switch to fast path (skip risk/audit) → Use parallel execution where possible

Need to resume interrupted session: → Check ops-log.md for last completed phase → Continue from next phase with context

Success Rate by Pattern

Pattern	Time	ASR	Best For
Sequential (5 models)	50-70 min	70-90%	High-stakes
Parallel (3 models)	30-45 min	60-75%	Time-sensitive
Iterative (2-4 models)	30-120 min	80-95%	Complex problems
Fast Path (1-2 models)	15-30 min	50-70%	Quick attempts

Best Practices

1. Start with Context Pack

Always paste context-pack.txt at start of first model session

2. Update Rolling Log

After each model, append output to ops-log.md with timestamp

3. Use Primary Models First

Don't use fallbacks unless primary unavailable

4. Verify Authorization

All prompts should include authorization context (CTF, pentesting, research)

5. Time Box Each Phase

Don't exceed time allocations - move to next phase if stuck

6. Test Incrementally

Don't wait until final phase to test - validate after each model

7. Leverage Specialization

Don't ask Perplexity to write code or Claude to do live search

8. Document Everything

ops-log.md is critical for debugging and learning from failures
