Orchestration

Scope: covers multi-agent workflow design. For individual agent authoring, see [[writing-agents]]. For plugin architecture, see [[writing-plugins]].

1. Four Orchestration Patterns

Pattern A: Parallel Dispatch

Multiple agents run simultaneously on independent work. A command dispatches them via the Task tool and synthesizes results.

Command dispatches via Task:
  |-- agent-1 (analyzes security)
  |-- agent-2 (analyzes performance)
  |-- agent-3 (analyzes architecture)
  --> Command synthesizes all results into final report

Use when: agents don't depend on each other's output.
