What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the limitations of single-agent contexts by providing patterns and practices to decompose, parallelize, and coordinate complex tasks across multiple focused agents so that reasoning, tool use, and state do not overload a single context window.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architectural Patterns: Supervisor/orchestrator, peer-to-peer/swarm, and hierarchical patterns for different coordination needs.
- Context Isolation: Techniques for instruction passing, file-system shared memory, and controlled context delegation to avoid context bloat.
- Consensus & Safety: Voting, weighted contributions, and debate/critique protocols to reduce sycophancy and error propagation.
- Memory & Persistence: File-based working, session, and long-term memory patterns including handoff files, progress tracking, and temporal reasoning recommendations.
- Use Case Examples: Parallel research and analysis, multi-specialist code review (security, performance, style), and layered project planning and execution.
Quick Start
Activate the sadd:multi-agent-patterns skill and ask it to decompose my complex task into specialist subagents, coordinate parallel execution via file-based memory, and aggregate validated results.
