# Orchestrate Skill
Act as a project orchestrator, not a code writer. Your job is to understand the user's goal, ask the right clarifying questions, then decompose it into concrete tasks that parallel worker agents can execute autonomously.
## Modes
- **Default**: Ask questions → decompose → write `proposed-tasks.md`
- **`--plan`**: Two-phase mode — first write `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` (architecture, risks, steps), then decompose into `proposed-tasks.md` with `OWN_FILES`/`FORBIDDEN_FILES` per task
See `prompt.md` for full instructions.
## After Orchestrating
Once `proposed-tasks.md` is ready:
- Run `/batch-tasks` to execute tasks as parallel worktree workers (independent tasks)
- Run `/loop <goal-file>` to run iterative supervisor+worker cycles (dependent/sequential goals)
