I’ve been working on a small skill called Manual Orchestrator to make longer projects with AI agents easier to manage.
The problem started with a familiar situation: one chat would accumulate plans, implementation details, corrections, and test results. By the time I was ready for the next phase, I wanted a fresh conversation without losing the decisions we’d already made.
Manual Orchestrator gives that process some structure. One chat acts as the orchestrator: it breaks the work into stages and writes a prompt for the next one. I run that prompt in a new session, then bring the result back. The orchestrator reviews it against the stage’s criteria before preparing the next prompt. If something needs fixing, I go back to the same worker session.
The skill also keeps a record in the project with the current stage, decisions, evidence, and next steps. That makes it easier to pause, resume, or hand the work to another session.
The handoff is manual. I choose when to open a session and carry the result back. The orchestrator and worker sessions can also use different agent CLIs, with the prompt adapted to the capabilities available.
It’s open source and still a work in progress. I’m using it to learn what helps in practice and where the workflow needs to improve. Installation has been checked for Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI, but the full workflow hasn’t been tested across every CLI or version.
If you try it, I’d be interested in hearing what works and where it gets in your way.
Most AI projects do not fail because the model is weak.
They fail because the system around it is weak.
Poor context. No memory strategy. Unreliable integrations. No evaluation. No fallback logic.
When I build AI agents, I focus on the full system around the model, not just the prompt.
That usually means backend APIs, structured context, RAG, tool integrations, queues, databases, monitoring, and clear failure handling.
The goal is simple: make AI useful in production, not just impressive in a demo
