SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly reference Overmind's capabilities, modes, agents, MCP endpoints, and configuration to answer what it can do and which endpoint to call without digging through docs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Consolidates modes (scout, relay, swarm) and agent roles with quick mappings to common orchestration tasks.
  • Provides a succinct endpoint catalog (Brain and MCP) to guide decision-making during objective initiation.
  • Use case: before starting a new objective, consult this map to choose the appropriate mode and endpoint.

Quick Start

Ask for the best Overmind mode or the right endpoint for your current objective.

How do I know which MCP endpoint to call during Overmind orchestration tasks?

To know which MCP endpoint to call during Overmind orchestration tasks, use a consolidated endpoint catalog that maps Brain and MCP endpoints to specific agent roles and orchestration objectives.

When do I need to map Overmind agents to specific workflows?

You need to map Overmind agents to specific workflows before starting a new objective, ensuring the selected agent role aligns with the capabilities required for scout, relay, or swarm orchestration tasks.

Does Overmind orchestration require checking configuration before starting a swarm?

Yes, Overmind orchestration requires checking configuration before starting a swarm to verify that the selected modes, agents, and MCP endpoints are correctly mapped to your intended real-world workflow.

What distinguishes scout, relay, and swarm modes in agent orchestration?

Scout, relay, and swarm modes are distinguished by their agent roles and workflow mappings, with a quick-reference catalog clarifying which mode fits specific orchestration tasks and objective initiation needs.
