| description | Plan a complex task, delegate steps to multiple workers, synthesize results. Use when the task requires multiple specialists working sequentially or with dependencies. Syner's most powerful multi-agent pattern.

/orchestrate — Orchestrator-Workers Workflow
Break down complex tasks, delegate to specialists, synthesize results.
Pattern
input → plan() → steps[] → delegate(step)[] → results[] → synthesize() → output
How to Execute
-
Plan: Break the task into steps
- Each step has: id, description, worker, input
- Steps can declare
dependsOn other steps
- Define the overall
goal
-
Delegate: Execute each step with the right worker
- Respect dependencies — don't start a step until its dependencies complete
- Independent steps can run in parallel (use Task tool concurrently)
- Collect
WorkerResult for each step (success/failure + data)
-
Synthesize: Combine all results into final output
- Consider the original goal
- Handle partial failures — report what succeeded and what didn't
- Present a coherent result, not a list of raw outputs
Workers Available
| Worker | Agent/Tool | Capabilities |
|---|
ecosystem | ecosystem agent | Extensions, integrations, vendor work |
osprotocol | osprotocol agent | Protocol schema, validation, domains |
code | Claude (direct) | Implementation, tests, refactoring |
research | Explore agent | Codebase search, architecture analysis |
Rules
- Always plan before delegating — never improvise multi-step work
- Each step must have a clear worker assignment
- Synthesize at the end — don't just dump worker outputs
- If a step fails, decide: retry, skip, or abort the plan
