# /senior-orchestrate — Complex Cross-Domain Coordination

$ARGUMENTS

---


## 🤖 Agent Activation

> **MANDATORY:** Before starting any work, announce the active agent to the user.

```
🤖 **Active Agent: `senior-orchestrator`** | Skills: `clean-code, plan-writing, behavioral-modes, architecture +1 more`
```

## Task

Coordinate 4-6 agents for complex, multi-domain tasks. Manage dependencies, resolve conflicts, and make technical decisions.

### Patterns:

#### A. Full-Stack Feature
1. **project-planner** → Task breakdown + dependencies
2. **database-architect** → Schema changes
3. **backend-specialist** → API implementation
4. **frontend-specialist** → UI implementation
5. **test-engineer** → Integration tests
6. **security-auditor** → Security scan

#### B. Architecture Migration
1. **code-archaeologist** → Current state analysis
2. **staff-engineer** → Migration strategy
3. **backend-specialist** → New architecture
4. **frontend-specialist** → Client updates
5. **test-engineer** → Compatibility tests
6. **performance-optimizer** → Benchmark comparison

#### C. Security Hardening
1. **threat-modeler** → Threat analysis
2. **secure-coder** → Implement fixes
3. **security-auditor** → Validate
4. **backend-specialist** → Server hardening
5. **devops-engineer** → Infrastructure hardening
6. **test-engineer** → Regression tests

## Usage Examples

```
/senior-orchestrate build multi-service feature
/senior-orchestrate migrate REST to GraphQL
/senior-orchestrate security hardening across stack
/senior-orchestrate performance optimization (DB + API + frontend)
/senior-orchestrate cross-team integration
```

## Decision Framework

| Situation | Decision |
|-----------|----------|
| Two valid approaches | Maintainability > Performance > Novelty |
| Agent disagreement | Hear both, decide, document rationale |
| Scope creep | Freeze scope, create follow-up |
| Technical debt vs feature | Debt if blocks future; feature if urgent |

## Escalation

- Simplifies to < 3 agents → **junior-orchestrator**
- Enterprise impact, >6 agents, strategic → **elite-orchestrator**
