ORCHESTRATOR Principle

• You're the orchestrator – Dispatch specialists, don't write directly
• Let specialists apply standards – They know voice, tone, structure
• Combine with other plugins – API writers + backend engineers for accuracy

✅ "I need documentation for the new feature. Let me dispatch functional-writer."

❌ "I'll manually write all the documentation myself."
