Orchestration Ladder

Agent skill
1 skill

Choose the right orchestration primitive for delegated work — a single agent, parallel agents, or a dynamic workflow — using the agent → parallel → workflow ladder, plus the spawn-vs-subagent axis (interactive-and-independent vs. harness-tracked-and-harvested). Use when deciding how to delegate a task, whether to fan work out, whether you need the result back in-session, when a plan starts sprouting file-sentinels and monitor loops (the tell you picked the wrong primitive), or when orienting to dynamic workflows for the first time. The "which tool orchestrates this?" decision lens.
