Initialize a hierarchical swarm for coordinated multi-agent work.

Via MCP: mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({ topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 8, strategy: "specialized" })

Or via CLI:

npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8 --strategy specialized

Then create a Claude Code team via TeamCreate and spawn agents using the Agent tool with isolation: "worktree" for git-safe parallel work. Use SendMessage for inter-agent coordination.

For larger teams (10+), use hierarchical-mesh topology:

npx @claude-flow/cli@latest swarm init --topology hierarchical-mesh --max-agents 15 --strategy specialized
