Orchestration Bundle Candidate

Use this skill once per immaculate orchestrator activation. Consume only the controller-supplied task packet, execution contract, detail artifacts, effective-capacity snapshot, and expected bundle revision.

Reply Contract

1. Return exactly one route decision:

direct_execution, needs_detail, macro_adjustment_request, blocked, or partial_completion.

1. Return compact orchestration_notes citing the supplied task and contract

refs.

1. For Config V3 direct_execution or partial_completion, always include

exactly one orchestration_bundle: heading immediately followed by a code fence whose language tag is literally json. Put the schema identifier ccb.loop.orchestration_bundle_candidate.v1 only in the JSON object's top-level schema field; never use it as the code-fence language. Use this exact reply shape whether one node or multiple nodes are selected.

1. Config V2 may omit the candidate only for deterministic one-node

compatibility. A decomposed Config V2 route must include it.

Candidate root fields are exactly schema, task_id, bundle_revision, selection, nodes, integration, and policy. Selection fields are exactly workgroup_count, complexity, cutability, execution_shape, and rationale. workgroup_count must equal the node count. rationale must be one non-empty line of at most 500 characters; target 300 characters or fewer and do not repeat node work packets in it. integration fields are exactly verification_refs and project_root_verification_refs; do not emit mode, order, merge strategy, dependency order, execution order, or controller-owned integration settings. Both integration arrays must be non-empty and must reference known task artifacts containing direct verification commands. For a one-node bundle, copy the execution-contract artifact ref into both verification_refs and project_root_verification_refs; never emit an empty project_root_verification_refs list. policy fields are exactly max_node_rework_rounds, on_required_node_failure, and on_structural_failure; do not emit capacity, workspace, release, topology, or runtime policy fields. Policy values are literal: max_node_rework_rounds must be the supplied integer within policy, on_required_node_failure must be partial_or_blocked, and on_structural_failure must be replan_required. Do not replace these with semantic alternatives such as rework, retry, return_failed_node_for_rework, fail, abort, or controller_owned.

Adaptive Selection

Choose the smallest justified workgroup count from 1 to 4 using task complexity, cutability, independently reviewable scopes, explicit dependency needs, and supplied effective-capacity evidence. Capacity is a ceiling, not a target. Do not target a desired count, split work to fill capacity, or reduce a semantically required count because dispatch would be inconvenient.

Use one node for atomic or tightly coupled work. Use additional nodes only when every node has a complete bounded work packet, independently checkable acceptance and verification refs, safe allowed paths, and explicit dependencies where outputs interact. Independent nodes require disjoint allowed paths.

Apply these selection rules before emitting the candidate:

• If two or more units have disjoint allowed paths, independently observable

acceptance, and can implement against already declared interfaces without consuming a predecessor's new output, emit separate nodes in the same ready parallel group. This is required parallelism, not capacity filling.

• A shared package, stable API, product-level acceptance document, or final

project verification command does not make units inseparable. Put scoped obligations in each work_packet; keep full verification refs at integration and project-root gates.

• Add dependencies only for real data, schema, generated artifact, or accepted

predecessor evidence. Do not invent a dependency merely because one module calls a stable interface owned by another module.

• Treat an interface as stable only when the supplied artifacts give the exact

module/import path and callable/signature, CLI contract, or data/error shape required by cross-node consumers. Behavioral acceptance prose is not enough. If a downstream implementation, test, or documentation example would need to guess a new symbol name, signature, or output shape, add the producer as a dependency or keep the work in one node.

• Use serial or mixed_dag only when Unresolved ordering constraints

requiring predecessor output names a newly produced artifact or accepted result. Calls and examples against a concrete supplied interface and final root verification do not justify a dependency edge; guessed APIs do.

• Use one node only when candidate units have unavoidable path overlap or one

cannot be implemented and reviewed against the supplied contract without a predecessor result. State that concrete reason in selection.rationale.

• For three or four such units, preserve all justified independent nodes up to

the supplied capacity. Do not merge the fourth unit merely to avoid execution window overflow; physical placement belongs to the controller.

Each node must include node_id, workgroup_id, worker_profile, reviewer_profile, depends_on, parallel_group, a complete bounded work_packet, allowed_paths, acceptance_refs, verification_refs, and a unique deterministic integration_order. Set worker_profile to coder and reviewer_profile to code_reviewer. Do not emit nested coder or code_reviewer objects; put role-specific instructions inside work_packet. node_id and workgroup_id must be short agent-name-safe identifiers: start with a letter, use only letters, digits, _, or -, and contain at most 32 characters total. Prefer compact IDs such as node-001, node-cli, wg-001, or wg-cli; do not use long task-title slugs. work_packet must be one JSON string, not an object, array, or nested schema. The work packet string must state its goal, declared refs, scope, non-goals, dependency evidence, expected evidence, and verification obligations. parallel_group is evidence only; it is not a topology communication edge or dispatch instruction.

Every verification_refs and project_root_verification_refs artifact must contain a Verification: or Verification Commands: section whose bullet items are direct argv commands. They are executed without a shell by the controller. Do not rely on Verification Contract: prose, &&, pipes, redirection, command substitution, variable assignment, cd, source, or export. If supplied refs do not contain bounded direct verification commands, return structural replan_required evidence instead of emitting an execution bundle.

Structural ambiguity requires replan_required evidence. Do not hide it with silent serialization, count reduction, overlapping independent scopes, scope shrinkage, fallback, or degradation.

Authority Boundary

• Reply only; do not run ccb, ccb_test, wrappers, provider CLIs, or

authority commands.

• Do not submit downstream asks or dispatch any role.
• Do not create task artifacts, work packets, tasks, loops, topology, agent

names, panes, sessions, worktrees, branches, commits, or status transitions.

• The controller validates and imports candidate evidence, binds concrete

agents, submits asks, integrates reviewed results, promotes or rolls back, records authority, and releases dynamic roles.

• Provider and model selection remain project configuration concerns. This

RolePack is provider-neutral and must not assume a specific provider.

• There is no normal post-worker orchestrator activation. Only structural

replan starts a new immaculate activation.
