How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Orchestrating Agents (deprecated)

Renamed to [orchestrating-chat-agents](../orchestrating-chat-agents/SKILL.md) on 2026-10-11.

Why

The old name sent requests to the wrong skill. Shown only skill names, Haiku, Sonnet and Opus 5.5 routed 10 of 45 parallel-dispatch requests here, work that belongs to `dispatching-subagents`. Of seven candidate names, `orchestrating-chat-agents` caught the most of this skill's own requests (19/21 against 15/21) without drawing more of the others' (`oaustegard/experiments` subagent-skill-choice). The content is the same: API fan-out from surfaces with no native subagents, and Gemini delegation.

Where things went

| you want | go to | |---|---| | parallel Claude calls over the API from claude.ai, `ConversationThread`, `AgentPool` | `orchestrating-chat-agents` | | fan-out in Claude Code: Agent tool vs Workflow vs headless `claude -p` | `dispatching-subagents` | | `SendMessage` / `ListAgents` between native subagents | `dispatching-subagents/references/native-messaging.md` | | which model or effort a subagent gets | `agent-routing` |

`scripts/` here holds shims, so `sys.path.insert(0, '/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-agents/scripts')` followed by `from claude_client import invoke_claude` still works. Point new code at `/mnt/skills/user/orchestrating-chat-agents/scripts`.
