Swarm Orchestration

Coordinate multiple subagents to execute a plan in parallel. The orchestrator reads a dependency graph, dispatches agents in waves (or all at once), validates outputs, and resolves conflicts. Agent-agnostic — works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and similar multi-agent platforms.

Related skills: dev-workflow-planning (plan creation), agents-subagents (agent creation and handoffs).

When to Use

• Plan has 3+ tasks that can be parallelized
• Feature implementation spans multiple files/domains
• You need speed without sacrificing coordination
• Multiple agents can work on isolated file sets simultaneously

When NOT to Use

• Plan has fewer than 3 tasks (just execute sequentially)
• All tasks share the same files (parallelism creates conflicts)
• Exploratory/research work (no plan to execute)
