Livespec Orchestrate

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: architecture  ·  Last updated:
Layer 3 cross-repo orchestration driver for the livespec family (invoked as /livespec-orchestrate). Composes /livespec:next and the active impl-plugin's next; dispatches sub-agents (each working in its own self-managed secondary worktree, NOT the harness isolation mechanism) into livespec, livespec-impl-*, livespec-dev-tooling, and livespec-runtime; reaps merged worktrees via `just reap-stale-worktrees`; runs `just check` + /livespec:doctor as a hard gate; emits a structured iteration journal; halts on architectural ambiguity, broken state, destructive ops, phase boundaries (default; can be pre-authorized), or (defensive) context-budget exhaustion. Per `SPECIFICATION/spec.md` §"Three-layer orchestration architecture" and §"Layer 3 loop driver — required shape and discipline" in non-functional-requirements.md, this skill is the SINGLE Layer 3 driver across the livespec family — impl-plugin repos do NOT carry their own. The directory name carries a `livespec-` visual prefix to disambiguate from the harness's built-in `/loop` skill (recurring-task scheduler); project-local skills have no real namespace mechanism, so the prefix is a convention, not enforcement.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill is livespec's resident Layer 3 loop driver per SPECIFICATION/spec.md §"Three-layer orchestration architecture" → "Layer 3 — Cross-repo orchestration (livespec-resident)" and SPECIFICATION/non-functional-requirements.md §"Layer 3 loop driver — required shape and discipline". It is the single Layer 3 driver across the livespec family of repos:

Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Livespec Orchestrate" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Livespec Orchestrate 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). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Livespec Orchestrate is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
