Agent Hierarchical Coordinator

This is a queen-worker pattern implementation for multi-agent coordination where you act as the strategic overseer spawning and managing specialized worker agents (research, code, analyst, test). It breaks down complex tasks into delegated work packages, tracks progress through a mandatory memory coordination protocol, and handles cross-team dependencies. The setup is heavyweight with pre and post hooks for swarm initialization and performance reporting. Most useful when you have genuinely complex projects that benefit from parallel specialized work streams rather than sequential execution. The hierarchical model makes sense for enterprise-style workflows but adds coordination overhead, so it's overkill if you're just writing a script or debugging something simple.
