Ultrathink Orchestrator

UltraThink Orchestrator (Deprecated)

⚠️ DEPRECATED: Use the dev-orchestrator skill instead.

It provides all ultrathink capabilities plus automatic workstream decomposition.

Redirect

When this skill is activated, invoke dev-orchestrator:

Skill(skill="dev-orchestrator")

EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE

This skill is deprecated. When activated:

1. Preferred: Invoke Skill(skill="dev-orchestrator") 2. Alternative: Use Recipe Runner with smart-orchestrator recipe 3. Fallback: Skill(skill="default-workflow")

The dev-orchestrator handles all task types including parallel workstream detection.

Ultrathink Orchestrator Skill

Version: 1.0.0 Priority: 5 (LOW)

Overview

Automatic workflow orchestration skill that invokes ultrathink for development work requests. Intelligently selects between investigation and development workflows based on task keywords.

Purpose

Provide default orchestration for non-trivial development tasks by automatically triggering the appropriate workflow (investigation or development) when no more specific skill matches.

How It Works

1. Auto-activates on work request patterns (implement, create, fix, investigate, etc.) 2. Detects task type: investigation, development, or hybrid 3. Estimates task complexity (simple/moderate/complex) 4. Asks user for confirmation before proceeding 5. Invokes the appropriate workflow skill:

• Investigation: investigation-workflow skill
• Development: default-workflow skill
• Hybrid: Both workflows sequentially

Task Type Detection

Investigation Tasks:

• Keywords: investigate, explain, understand, how does, why does, analyze, research, explore, examine, study
• Examples: "Investigate authentication", "Explain routing", "Understand database schema"

Development Tasks:

• Keywords: implement, build, create, add feature, fix, refactor, deploy
• Examples: "Implement JWT auth", "Add user registration", "Fix login bug"

Hybrid Tasks:

• Contains both investigation and development keywords
• Examples: "Investigate auth system, then add OAuth support"

Safety Features

• Always confirms: Never auto-executes without user approval
• Low priority: Other specialized skills take precedence (priority 5)
• Escape hatch: Users can decline workflow orchestration
• Clarity option: Users can request clarification first
• Task type awareness: Automatically routes to appropriate workflow

Example Interactions

Development Task

User: "Add user authentication to the API"

Skill Response:

I detected a MODERATE development request: "Add user authentication to the API"

Would you like me to use /ultrathink to orchestrate this work?
- Workflow: default-workflow
- Estimated scope: 6-8 files
- Time estimate: 45-60 minutes

[Yes] [No] [Custom]

Investigation Task

User: "Investigate how the reflection system works"

Skill Response:

I detected a MODERATE investigation request: "Investigate how the reflection system works"

Would you like me to use /ultrathink to orchestrate this work?
- Workflow: investigation-workflow
- Estimated scope: 10-15 files, deep analysis
- Time estimate: 30-40 minutes

[Yes] [No] [Custom]

Hybrid Task

User: "Investigate auth system, then add OAuth support"

Skill Response:

I detected a COMPLEX hybrid request: "Investigate auth system, then add OAuth support"

Would you like me to use /ultrathink to orchestrate this work?
- Workflow: investigation-workflow → default-workflow
- Estimated scope: 15+ files, comprehensive work
- Time estimate: 90-120 minutes

[Yes] [No] [Custom]

Workflow Integration

Preferred Approach (workflow skills):

• Uses Skill(skill="default-workflow") for development tasks
• Uses Skill(skill="investigation-workflow") for investigation tasks
• Automatic task type detection from keywords

Fallback (if skills not available):

• Reads ~/.amplihack/.claude/workflow/DEFAULT_WORKFLOW.md
• Reads ~/.amplihack/.claude/workflow/INVESTIGATION_WORKFLOW.md
• Provides same functionality via markdown workflows

Benefits

• Consistent workflow execution: All non-trivial work follows established patterns
• Reduced cognitive load: Automatic workflow selection based on task type
• User control: Always asks for confirmation before proceeding
• Intelligent routing: Chooses appropriate workflow (investigation vs development)
• Quality assurance: Ensures all work goes through proper review and validation
