josstei/maestro-orchestrateSubagent
Design system engineering specialist for design tokens, component API contracts, theming architecture, CSS architecture, style consistency, and visual regression strategy. Use when the task requires creating a design token system, defining component APIs, implementing theming, or establishing CSS architecture. For example: setting up a token hierarchy with light/dark themes, designing the prop interface for a component library, or implementing a token-to-CSS pipeline.
Why this score
This repo hosts 40 subagents, so its 486 stars are split between them (about 12 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 59/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

Security
Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 192203abcb33, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
