FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate AI agents for parallel code review?

You can orchestrate AI agents for parallel code review by dispatching a configurable agent swarm using the pr-review preset, which routes requests to pattern-specific skills and synthesizes findings into a single report.

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

The best way to manage complex multi-agent workflows is using orchestration patterns like fan-out, pipeline, and task graphs, which route requests to AI specialists and handle task execution collaboratively.

Can I customize agent roles for specific task workflows?

Yes, you can customize agent roles and use pre-defined workflow presets to configure specific tasks, allowing the swarm to adapt to various parallel processing and workflow automation needs.

How does agent orchestration handle workflow reliability and cleanup?

Agent orchestration handles reliability by validating configurations, spawning watchdog monitors, and cleaning up stale worktrees, ensuring complex multi-agent workflows run without interruption.

Do I need external dependencies to run AI agent swarms?

No external dependencies are required to run AI agent swarms, as the skill manages its own internal scripts and references to validate configurations and dispatch tasks independently.
