# What is Orchestrator mode?

An agent architecture pattern where one parent agent decomposes a task and dispatches sub-agents (typically planner / coder / debugger) to execute parts in parallel or sequence, with feedback loops. Kilo Code popularized this for coding tasks; Hermes uses a similar pattern for long-running autonomous work.
