SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps spawned Claude Litter teammates navigate swarm environments by providing identity context, standardized messaging patterns, and clear coordination protocols, enabling autonomous and effective collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identity context: exposes environment variables such as CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_NAME, CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_NAME, CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_TYPE, and CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_LEAD_ID to tailor behavior.
  • Communication patterns: offers structured messaging templates and escalation rules to coordinate with teammates and team-lead.
  • Task coordination: guides inbox checks, task claiming, status updates, blockers handling, and cross-task coordination for efficient delivery.

Quick Start

  • Check your inbox at the start of each session: /claude-swarm:swarm-inbox
  • List all tasks for your team: /claude-swarm:task-list
  • Claim a task and set it in motion: /claude-swarm:task-update <id> --assign <your-name> and then /claude-swarm:task-update <id> --status in-progress
  • Proactively communicate: /claude-swarm:swarm-message <peer> "Your message here" to coordinate or unblock teammates

Frequently Asked Questions about swarm-teammate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate tasks and communication across multiple AI teammates in a swarm?

Multi-agent coordination in a swarm requires standardized messaging patterns and identity context. This skill provides spawned teammates with structured messaging templates, escalation rules, and task claiming protocols to enable autonomous collaboration and efficient delivery.

What is the best way to manage blockers and handoffs between spawned agents in a Claude Litter swarm?

Managing blockers and handoffs between spawned agents relies on inbox-driven coordination protocols. Teammates check their inboxes at session start, claim tasks, post status updates, and proactively message peers to unblock cross-task dependencies.

How do I set up identity context for individual teammates in a multi-agent swarm environment?

Setting up identity context for individual teammates utilizes environment variables like CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_NAME, CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_NAME, and CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_TYPE. These variables tailor agent behavior and establish clear roles within the team hierarchy.

Do I need external dependencies or libraries to run swarm teammate coordination protocols?

Running swarm teammate coordination protocols requires zero external dependencies. The skill provides identity, messaging, and workflow guidance entirely through internal references, making it lightweight and self-contained for immediate deployment.

Can I use swarm teammate patterns to coordinate with a designated team lead?

Coordinating with a designated team lead is fully supported through structured escalation rules and the CLAUDE_CODE_TEAM_LEAD_ID environment variable. Teammates can send direct messages to peers and escalate issues to the lead using standardized templates.
