agent-swarm-workflow

A multi-agent swarm workflow coordinates parallel software development by distributing planned beads among specialized agents, synchronizing progress through Agent Mail, and using BV to select the next bead and prevent conflicts. This reduces bottlenecks by maintaining clear communication flow.

A multi-agent swarm workflow for code generation runs multiple specialized agents in concert to accelerate implementation. It leverages coordination primitives like Agent Mail for reservations, message threads, and structured prompt hygiene to ensure consistency across parallel software tasks.

To start a multi-agent swarm workflow, ensure the Agent Mail server is running and NTM is available. Spawn a swarm with the desired agent counts, broadcast the initial bead for execution, and use BV to monitor progress and move to the next bead as early as possible.

Yes, an Agent Mail server is required to run this multi-agent swarm workflow. The workflow depends on Agent Mail for reservations, message threads, and progress tracking, alongside NTMs, Beads coordination, and BV prompts described in AGENTS.md, with no external dependencies beyond the listed tools.

The best way to divide subtasks among multiple agents is to split the feature into planned beads and distribute them across Codex-based agents. Coordinate through BV to select the next bead, ensuring no conflicts arise while agents work in parallel through the shared workflow.
