orchestrating-swarms

Multi-agent orchestration coordinates several Claude agents to execute parallel tasks simultaneously by spawning a team, assigning independent background tasks, and aggregating the collected results to accelerate complex workflows.

A dependency-driven pipeline enforces task order across multiple agents, automatically unlocking downstream work as blockers clear. This structured approach prevents race conditions and ensures sequential execution phases complete before dependent tasks start.

Self-organizing swarms dynamically allocate work to idle agents to maximize throughput. You configure teams using a TeammateTool spawn operation, then the system dispatches pending tasks to available agents until the workflow queue is exhausted.

Yes, Claude Code can automate a code review sprint by spawning a team, launching reviewer agents as teammates with specific security or quality prompts, collecting findings via inbox messages, and performing a synchronized shutdown when reviews finish.

You manage multi-agent team lifecycles by issuing a requestShutdown operation targeting specific agent IDs, followed by a cleanup operation to remove terminated agents. This synchronized shutdown ensures all background tasks report findings before termination.

No external dependencies are required to orchestrate multi-agent swarms. The system operates internally using TeammateTool and Task operations to define teams, manage dependencies, handle messaging, and control agent lifecycles natively.
