Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Agent Orchestration Patterns > **Build coordinated AI teams that work together seamlessly** This skill provides battle-tested patterns for orchestrating multiple AI agents to solve complex problems collaboratively. ## Core Principles ### 1. Single Responsibility Agents Each agent should have one clear purpose. Generalists create confusion; specialists create excellence. ```yaml Bad: GeneralAgent: "Does everything - UI, backend, writing, testing" Good: FrontendAgent: "React components, styling, accessibility" BackendAgent: "APIs, database, business logic" TestAgent: "Unit tests, integration tests, E2E" ``` ### 2. Clear Communication Protocols Define how agents share information, hand off work, and resolve conflicts. ```yaml Handoff Protocol: From: BackendAgent To: FrontendAgent Includes: - API contract (types, endpoints) - Example payloads - Error scenarios - Authentication requirements ``` ### 3. Orchestrator Pattern One agent coordinates; others execute. Prevents chaos and conflicting directions. ``` ┌─────────────────┐ │ ORCHESTRATOR │ │ (Coordinates) │ └────────┬────────┘ │ ┌────────────────────┼────────────────────┐ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill agent-orchestration-frankxai-arcanea-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
