SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multiple agents across distributed tasks can be complex, error-prone, and hard to scale; this skill provides a proven pattern for coordinating leaders, teammates, and work queues to enable parallel execution and dependency-based pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Leader/Teammate architecture: leader coordinates swarms while teammates execute tasks and report progress.
  • Task lists with dependencies: supports parallel work streams and dependency-based workflows.
  • Two spawn methods: use the task tool for short-lived subagents or spawn persistent teammates for ongoing collaboration.
  • Environment and backend auto-detection: automatically selects in-process, tmux, or iterm2 backends for speed, persistence, and visibility.
  • Orchestration patterns: parallel specialists, sequential pipelines, and swarm-based self-organization for complex code-review and pipeline scenarios.
  • Messaging and coordination: inbuilt inbox-based communication and task state updates to synchronize work.

Quick Start

Spawn a team, create a task pipeline, and launch workers to claim, process, and report results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multi-agent swarms for parallel task execution?

To coordinate multi-agent swarms for parallel task execution, a leader agent assigns work while teammates process tasks and report progress using inbox-based messaging and shared task lists.

What is the best way to manage dependencies in multi-agent workflows?

Managing dependencies in multi-agent workflows uses shared task lists that support dependency-based pipelines, allowing sequential processing and parallel work streams to synchronize automatically.

Can I use tmux or iterm2 backends for persistent agent orchestration?

Yes, you can use tmux or iterm2 backends for persistent agent orchestration because the environment auto-detects available terminals to balance execution speed, visibility, and persistence.

How do you set up a leader and teammate architecture for agent pipelines?

Setting up a leader and teammate architecture for agent pipelines involves spawning a leader to coordinate swarms and persistent teammates to execute tasks, report progress, and handle task state updates.

Does this approach support self-organizing task queues for code reviews?

Yes, this approach supports self-organizing task queues for code reviews by using swarm-based coordination patterns where teammates claim, process, and report results from a shared list.

When should I use short-lived subagents versus persistent teammates for task management?

Use short-lived subagents for quick isolated actions and persistent teammates for ongoing collaboration, choosing between them based on whether your task management requires ephemeral execution or sustained coordination.
