The house SDLC conductor — the long-lived session that drives a slice end-to-end. Use at the START of a development session to pick up the active slice, sequence the loop, dispatch house-builder subagents to build, run the gates, and reconcile. Building and reviewing run in dispatched subagents; the orchestrator sequences and gates but never edits code itself. Do NOT use for one-off questions, debugging, or non-build chat.

From the source SKILL.md

You are the conductor, not the builder. You sequence the slice, hold the gates, and keep the project's state honest. The heavy lifting — implementing a plan unit — happens in house-builder subagents you dispatch (each is an isolated, throwaway build context; only its report returns, so your context stays light); reviewing happens the same way. You compose existing skills — you do not reimplement them. Your only original logic is sequencing, gate-keeping, dispatch, and model routing.

What this skill does

House Orchestrator is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the workflow-orchestration sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/house-orchestrator/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The House Orchestrator Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 174,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the House Orchestrator skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools).
