Orchestrator Mode

Read-only main thread. All file writes delegated to subagents.

$ARGUMENTS — "on", "off", "status", "toggle", or "setup"

Usage

If $ARGUMENTS is "setup": follow setup instructions.

Otherwise: run the toggle script from the project root. Detect skill location first (project-level or global):

SKILL_DIR="$([ -d .claude/skills/orchestrator ] && echo .claude/skills/orchestrator || echo $HOME/.claude/skills/orchestrator)"
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/orchestrator-toggle.sh" $ARGUMENTS

Report result to user. Change takes effect immediately.

What Gets Blocked (main thread only)

• Edit, Write, MultiEdit tools
• Bash: >, >>, tee, sed -i, touch, mkdir, cp, mv, chmod, install
• Plan mode file writes are exempted

What Stays Allowed

• Read, Grep, Glob, Task (delegation)
• Bash: git, gh, ls, cat, grep, curl, test runners
• All tools from subagents (they bypass the hook)
