What problem does it solve? Full multi-phase orchestration pipelines are overkill for small, well-scoped changes, adding review, verification, and scoring overhead that slows down simple feature work. This Skill provides a trimmed orchestration lane that keeps intake, planning, and dispatch discipline while skipping the heavyweight phases. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Single-subagent execution: Dispatches one Sonnet 5 high-effort executor for implementation instead of multi-wave parallel task scoring. - Smoke gate quality check: Runs a read-only build+test gate after execution that blocks shipping on red, with one automatic repair re-dispatch. - Lighter intake and planning: Asks only medium-tier intake questions with soft sign-off, plus a one-line complexity read that recommends switching to the full flow when a task is too large. - Use Case: You want to add a --json flag to a CLI command. Invoke the mini lane, answer four intake questions, and it plans, dispatches one executor, runs the test suite as a gate, optionally authors extra tests, and ships the commit. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to use orc-mini to implement a small, well-scoped change such as adding a flag to an existing CLI command.
