🎉 What's New in v8.0
Comprehensive 3-Phase Optimization Completed
We've completed a major overhaul that achieved 80,000+ tokens saved across all resources while dramatically improving discoverability and organization.
Key Achievements:
- 383 Resources Indexed (up from 323, +18.6% growth)
- 207+ Cross-References added for improved navigation
- 77 New Example Files extracted for better reusability
- Token Efficiency: 52-83% savings in real-world usage
Phase 1: Example Extraction
- 37 files optimized with code examples moved to dedicated fragments
- ~45,000 tokens saved through example externalization
- 77 new example files created with orchestr8:// URI references
- Improved resource reusability and maintenance
Phase 2: Structural Organization
- 6 skill families created (Performance, Security, Testing, Observability, IaC, Error Handling)
- 9 pattern families organized (Event-Driven, Database, Architecture, etc.)
- 42 resources reorganized with hierarchical structure
- 207+ cross-references added for seamless navigation
- ~4,145 tokens net savings
Phase 3: Progressive Loading
- 2 major agents split into core + advanced modules (Python, Rust)
- 5 workflows enhanced with JIT loading (78% average token reduction)
- 7 resources documented with progressive loading strategies
- Token efficiency: 52-83% savings in typical usage patterns
Updated Statistics
- Total Resources: 383 fragments
- Domain Experts: 147+ specialized agents
- Reusable Skills: 90+ proven techniques
- Design Patterns: 25+ architectural patterns
- Ready-to-Use Examples: 77+ implementation samples
- useWhen Scenarios: 1,675 automated matching scenarios
- Indexed Keywords: 4,036 unique search terms
Token Efficiency in Action
- JIT Loading: 77-83% reduction in workflow token usage
- Progressive Loading: 52-82% savings for complex agents
- Example Extraction: ~45,000 tokens saved overall
- Total Impact: 80,000+ tokens saved across all resources
🎯 What is orchestr8?
I spent six months watching AI agents waste tokens loading knowledge they'd never use.
The breakthrough? Just-in-time expertise.
orchestr8 is a Claude Code plugin that transforms AI-assisted development through intelligent resource loading via Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of cramming 200KB of knowledge into every conversation, it loads a lightweight 2KB catalog—then dynamically fetches exactly what's needed.
The result? 95-98% token reduction. Faster responses. Better conversations. Zero wasted context.
Why This Matters
Traditional approach loads everything upfront:
- All TypeScript patterns: 15KB
- All database guides: 10KB
- All security practices: 8KB
- Total waste: ~11,000 tokens before you've even started
orchestr8 loads on-demand:
- Lightweight registry: 250 tokens
- Matched expertise: 800 tokens
- Total used: ~1,050 tokens — only what you need
That's 90% savings on every single workflow.
