Setup

1. Call `get_runtime_context` if it appears in your available tools. Use the returned tool mappings, agent dispatch syntax, MCP prefix, and paths throughout this session. 2. If `get_runtime_context` is unavailable, use this compact fallback:

  • Core tools: read_file=Read, write_file=Write, replace=Edit, run_shell_command=Bash, glob=Glob, grep_search=Grep, activate_skill=Skill, ask_user=AskUserQuestion, enter_plan_mode=EnterPlanMode, exit_plan_mode=ExitPlanMode
  • Extended tools: google_web_search=WebSearch, web_fetch=WebFetch, write_todos=[TaskCreate,TaskUpdate,TaskList], read_many_files=Read, list_directory=Glob, codebase_investigator=Agent (Explore) / Grep / Glob
  • Agent dispatch: Agent(subagent_type: "maestro:<name>", prompt: "...")
  • MCP prefix: mcp__plugin_maestro_maestro__
  • Shared skills/templates/references/protocols: call `get_skill_content(resources: ["<name>"])`

Execute

Call `get_skill_content` with resources: ["orchestration-steps"].

Follow the returned step sequence exactly. The steps are the sole procedural authority — do not improvise, skip, or reorder them.
