Task Orchestrator FAQs

Question 1

Can I use my own custom development workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the skill is designed to respect user-defined configurations in config.yaml, allowing it to adapt to your specific status names and validation prerequisites.

Question 2

What happens when a task with dependencies is completed?

Accepted Answer

The skill automatically triggers a 'dependency cascade,' checking all linked tasks and marking them as unblocked and ready for execution if their prerequisites are met.

Question 3

How does Task Orchestrator improve over standard task management?

Accepted Answer

It introduces dependency-aware batching and parallel execution, allowing Claude to work on multiple unblocked tasks simultaneously rather than processing everything sequentially.

Question 4

How does this skill reduce token costs?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes tag-based filtering to read only the necessary sections of a task (like checklists or commands), reducing token consumption by 45-60% compared to reading full documents.

Question 5

What is specialist routing in this context?

Accepted Answer

The skill analyzes task complexity to assign work to the most efficient model; for example, using Haiku for standard implementations and escalating to Sonnet or Opus for senior-level architectural problems.
