SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Enable Claude to orchestrate complex tasks by spawning and managing specialized sub-agents for parallel or sequential decomposition. Use when tasks have clear independent subtasks, require specialized approaches for different components, benefit from parallel processing, need fault isolation, or involve complex state management across multiple steps. Best for data pipelines, code analysis workflows, content creation pipelines, and multi-stage processing tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel & Sequential Orchestration: Spawn specialized sub-agents for parallel execution or structured sequential flows.
  • Fault Isolation & Progress Tracking: Each agent runs in isolation with clear contracts and file-based communication.
  • Use Case: Coordinate a multi-step data migration or code-analysis workflow with independent agents.

Quick Start

Use the /aa_command to plan orchestration, then run /background for a single task or /orchestrate for multi-agent execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate complex tasks with parallel sub-agents?

Orchestrate complex tasks by spawning specialized sub-agents that run in parallel or sequential flows. Each agent handles an independent subtask with explicit input/output contracts and file-based communication, enabling decomposition of data pipelines, code analysis workflows, and multi-stage processing without blocking on dependencies.

When should I use multi-agent orchestration instead of a single workflow?

Use multi-agent orchestration when tasks have clear independent subtasks, require specialized approaches for different components, benefit from parallel processing, or need fault isolation. It's ideal for data migrations, code analysis across multiple files, content creation pipelines, and multi-source data aggregation where one failure shouldn't halt the entire process.

How does file-based communication work between agents?

Agents communicate through files rather than direct function calls, reducing context per agent and enabling graceful failure isolation. Each agent reads input from designated files, performs its task, and writes output to files that downstream agents consume, allowing independent operation and recovery without shared state.

Can I run agents in parallel and track their progress?

Yes, spawn multiple specialized sub-agents for parallel execution with built-in progress tracking and fault isolation. Each agent runs independently with minimal context and explicit contracts, so you can monitor completion status and handle failures in individual agents without affecting parallel siblings.

What's the best way to handle failures in a multi-agent workflow?

Failures are isolated per agent through explicit input/output contracts and file-based communication. If one agent fails, others continue running independently, and you can retry or reassign that specific subtask without restarting the entire pipeline or losing progress from completed agents.

Does multi-agent orchestration work for data pipelines and content creation?

Yes, it's designed for data pipelines, code analysis workflows, content creation pipelines, and multi-source data aggregation. Decompose the workflow into parallel stages—fetch from multiple sources, process independently, aggregate results—with each agent handling its subtask and communicating via files.
