Distributed Cognitive Architecture for OpenCode. Turns simple prompts into specialized multi-agent workflows (Planner, Coder, Reviewer).
npm install opencode-orchestrator
Production-Grade Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine for High-Integrity Software Engineering


---
``bash`
npm install -g opencode-orchestrator
Inside an OpenCode environment:
`bash`
/task "Implement a new authentication module with JWT and audit logs"
---
---
OpenCode Orchestrator utilizes a Hub-and-Spoke Topology with Work-Stealing Queues to execute complex engineering tasks through parallel, context-isolated sessions.

, normal, late) and executed using a Topological Sort to handle complex dependencies automatically, ensuring a predictable and stable environment.$3
- Self-healing loops with adaptive stagnation detection
- Proactive Agency: Smart monitoring that audits logs and plans ahead during background tasks
- Auto-retry with backoff: Exponential backoff for transient failures$3
Reused sessions in the SessionPool are explicitly reset using server-side compaction triggered by health monitors. This ensures that previous task context (old error messages, stale file references) never leaks into new tasks, maintaining 100% implementation integrity.$3
Leverages system.transform to unshift massive agent instruction sets on the server side. This reduces initial message payloads by 90%+, slashing latency and preventing context fragmentation during long autonomous loops.---
π οΈ Infrastructure & Reliability
$3
- RAII Pattern (ConcurrencyToken): Guaranteed resource cleanup with zero leaks
- ShutdownManager: Priority-based graceful shutdown with 5-second timeout per handler
- Automatic Backups: All config changes backed up with rollback support
- Atomic File Operations: Temp file + rename for corruption-proof writes
- Finally Blocks: Guaranteed cleanup in all critical paths
- Zero Resource Leaks: File watchers, event listeners, concurrency slots all properly released$3
- Work-Stealing Queues: Chase-Lev deque implementation for 90%+ CPU utilization
- Planner: 2 workers, Worker: 8 workers, Reviewer: 4 workers
- LIFO for owner (cache locality), FIFO for thieves (fairness)
- Memory Pooling: 80% GC pressure reduction
- Object Pool: 200 ParallelTask instances (50 prewarmed)
- String Interning: Deduplication for agent names, status strings
- Buffer Pool: Reusable ArrayBuffers (1KB, 4KB, 16KB, 64KB)
- Session Reuse: 90% faster session creation (500ms β 50ms)
- Pool size: 5 sessions per agent type
- Max reuse: 10 times per session
- Health check: Every 60 seconds
- Rust Connection Pool: 10x faster tool calls (50-100ms β 5-10ms)
- Max 4 persistent processes
- 30-second idle timeout
- Adaptive Polling: Dynamic 500ms-5s intervals based on system load$3
- Circuit Breaker: Auto-recovery from API failures (5 failures β open)
- Resource Pressure Detection: Rejects low-priority tasks when memory > 80%
- Terminal Node Guard: Prevents infinite recursion (depth limit enforcement)
- Auto-Scaling: Concurrency slots adjust based on success/failure rate---
π οΈ Key Innovations
$3
Maintains focus across thousands of conversation turns using a 4-tier memory structure and EMA-based Context Gating to preserve "Architectural Truth" while pruning operational noise.$3
Slots for parallel implementation scale up automatically after a 3-success streak and scale down aggressively upon detection of API instability or implementation failures.$3
Combines LLM reasoning with deterministic AST/LSP verification. Every code change is verified by native system tools before being accepted into the master roadmap.$3
- Stagnation Detection: Automatically senses when no progress is made across multiple iterations
- Diagnostic Intervention: Forces the agent into a "Diagnostic Mode" when stagnation is detected, mandating log audits and strategy pivots
- Proactive Agency: Mandates Speculative Planning and Parallel Thinking during background task execution$3
Seamless integration with OpenCode's native TUI via TaskToastManager. Provides non-intrusive, real-time feedback on Mission Progress, active Agent Sub-sessions, and Technical Metrics using protocol-safe Toast notifications.$3
Utilizes a hybrid event-driven pipeline (EventHandler + TaskPoller) to maximize responsiveness while maintaining robust state tracking and resource cleanup.$3
Runtime agent configuration is strictly validated using Zod schemas, ensuring that custom agent definitions in agents.json are type-safe and error-free before execution.---

3. β
Atomic writes - temp file + rename (OS-level atomic)
4. β
Write verification - ensures correctness after every change
5. β
Automatic rollback - restores from backup on any failure
6. β
Cross-platform - Windows (native, Git Bash, WSL), macOS, Linux
