Swarm Coordination Skill
Swarm Coordination Skill - Orchestrates parallel agent execution, manages inter-agent communication, handles task distribution, and coordinates results aggregation for complex multi-agent workflows.
- Parallel agent spawning
- Task distribution strategies
- Results aggregation
- Inter-agent communication
- Failure handling and recovery
Step 1: Analyze Task for Parallelization
Identify parallelizable work:
| Pattern | Example | Strategy |
|---|
| Independent tasks | Review multiple files | Spawn in parallel |
| Dependent tasks | Design → Implement | Sequential spawn |
| Fan-out/Fan-in | Multiple reviews → Consolidate | Parallel + Aggregation |
| Pipeline | Parse → Transform → Validate | Sequential handoff |
Step 2: Spawn Agents in Parallel
Use the Task tool to spawn multiple agents in a single message:
Task({
task_id: 'task-1',
subagent_type: 'general-purpose',
description: 'Architect reviewing design',
prompt: 'Review architecture...',
});
Task({
task_id: 'task-2',
subagent_type: 'general-purpose',
description: 'Security reviewing design',
prompt: 'Review security...',
});
Key: Both Task calls must be in the SAME message for true parallelism.
Step 3: Define Handoff Format
Use structured formats for agent communication:
## Agent Handoff: [Source] → [Target]
### Context
- Task: [What was done]
Files: [Files touched]
[Key finding 1]
[Key finding 2]
[Action item 1]
[Action item 2]
[Path to artifact 1]
[Path to artifact 2]
