Adding Swarm Patterns

Overview

Add new multi-agent coordination patterns to agent-relay by updating four locations: TypeScript types, JSON schema, YAML template, and markdown docs.

When to Use

• Adding a new swarm pattern (e.g., "competitive", "auction")
• Extending coordination capabilities for multi-agent workflows
• Responding to user requests for new orchestration strategies
