This document provides a comprehensive guide for creating Orchestrator Agents in OpenCode. Based on the reference implementation (@agent/orchestrator.md), this guide details the structure, patterns, and best practices for building intelligent routing agents.
An Orchestrator Agent serves as a central dispatch system. Unlike standard agents that execute tasks, an orchestrator's sole purpose is to analyze user requests and delegate work to specialized subagents.
I tried a prompt in VC Code Copilot that triggers a "Ralph Wiggum" loop to implement a (hopefully) well crafted, 26 tasks PRD. This is ideal to trigger the implementation after an interactive Plan session with your favorite model.
This is a Proof of Concept on how to use an orchestrator agent that will trigger subagent to implement individual tasks and restart them until all tasks are implemented.
This is a Ralph Wiggum loop, but adapted to VS Code Copilot.
