Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Agent spawning, lifecycle management, and coordination patterns. Manages 60+ agent types with specialized capabilities. Use when: spawning agents, coordinating multi-agent tasks, managing agent pools. Skip when: single-agent work, no coordination needed.Key capabilities
- →Spawn agents
- →Manage agent lifecycles
- →Coordinate multi-agent tasks
- →Monitor agent pools
How it works
Provides commands to spawn, list, and monitor specialized agents for complex tasks.
Inputs & outputs
When to use agent-coordination
- →Spawn a new coder agent
- →Monitor active agent status
- →Coordinate a bug fix swarm
About this skill
Agent Coordination Skill
Purpose
Spawn and coordinate agents for complex multi-agent tasks.
Agent Types
Core Development
coder, reviewer, tester, planner, researcher
V3 Specialized
security-architect, security-auditor, memory-specialist, performance-engineer
Swarm Coordination
hierarchical-coordinator, mesh-coordinator, adaptive-coordinator, collective-intelligence-coordinator
Consensus
byzantine-coordinator, raft-manager, gossip-coordinator, consensus-builder
GitHub
pr-manager, code-review-swarm, issue-tracker, release-manager
SPARC
sparc-coord, sparc-coder, specification, pseudocode, architecture, refinement
Commands
Spawn Agent
npx claude-flow agent spawn --type coder --name my-coder
List Agents
npx claude-flow agent list --filter active
Agent Status
npx claude-flow agent status --id agent-123
Agent Metrics
npx claude-flow agent metrics --id agent-123
Stop Agent
npx claude-flow agent stop --id agent-123
Pool Management
npx claude-flow agent pool --size 5 --type coder
Routing Codes
| Code | Task | Agents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bug Fix | coordinator, researcher, coder, tester |
| 3 | Feature | coordinator, architect, coder, tester, reviewer |
| 5 | Refactor | coordinator, architect, coder, reviewer |
| 7 | Performance | coordinator, perf-engineer, coder |
| 9 | Security | coordinator, security-architect, auditor |
Best Practices
- Use hierarchical topology for coordination
- Keep agent count under 8 for tight coordination
- Use specialized agents for specific tasks
- Coordinate via memory, not direct communication
When not to use it
- →Single-agent work
- →No coordination needed
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Keep agent count under 8 for tight coordination
How it compares
Manages large-scale agent pools and coordination patterns instead of individual agent management.
