Dev Orchestrator Skill — AI skill for Claude Code

Development Orchestrator Skill

A comprehensive workflow orchestration skill that coordinates AI tools for end-to-end feature development.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Ensure you have these tools ready:

# Check installations
which gemini   # For design and brainstorming
which codex    # For plan review and validation
# Claude Code subagent is built-in (no installation needed)

Basic Usage

Simply ask Claude Code to develop a feature:

"I need to implement [FEATURE_DESCRIPTION] using the full development workflow"

Claude will automatically:

1. Use Gemini for creative design exploration
2. Use Codex to validate and create execution plan
3. Optionally ask you to review the plan
4. Use Claude Code subagent to implement the code
5. Use Claude Code subagent to write comprehensive tests
6. Ask you for final approval

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Brainstorm & Design (Gemini)

• Explores multiple architectural approaches
• Identifies trade-offs and risks
• Recommends best approach

Phase 2: Review & Plan (Codex)

• Validates the design logic
• Identifies edge cases
• Creates detailed execution plan
• Outputs dev-plan-[FEATURE-NAME].md

Phase 3: Design Review (Human - Optional)

• You can review and approve the plan
• Or skip and proceed directly to implementation

Phase 4: Implementation (Claude Code)

• Executes the approved plan
• Writes production-quality code
• Follows codebase conventions

Phase 5: Testing (Claude Code)

• Writes comprehensive unit tests
• Ensures all tests pass
• Covers edge cases

Phase 6: Final Validation (Human - Required)

• You review the complete implementation
• Approve or request modifications

Examples

Large Feature

User: "Add user authentication with JWT tokens"
→ Full 6-phase workflow
→ ~30-60 minutes depending on complexity

Small Feature

User: "Add a phone number formatting helper"
→ Simplified workflow (skips to Phase 4)
→ ~5-10 minutes
