Swarm Orchestration
This orchestrates multi-agent swarms using agentic-flow's coordination system, letting you run agents in parallel, pipeline, or adaptive modes across mesh, hierarchical, or dynamic topologies. You'd reach for this when a single agent workflow isn't cutting it and you need actual distributed task execution with load balancing and fault tolerance. The shared memory system and hooks integration are solid, though you'll want to start with 2-3 agents before scaling up. The adaptive topology that auto-switches based on task complexity is legitimately clever. Requires agentic-flow 1.5.11+ and some distributed systems thinking, but the quick start gets you spawning agents and orchestrating tasks in a few commands.

Swarm Orchestration Skill
Purpose
Multi-agent swarm coordination for complex tasks. Uses hierarchical topology with specialized agents to break down and execute complex work across multiple files and modules.
When to Trigger
- 3+ files need changes
- new feature implementation
- cross-module refactoring
- API changes with tests
- security-related changes
- performance optimization across codebase
- database schema changes
When to Skip
- single file edits
- simple bug fixes (1-2 lines)
- documentation updates
- configuration changes
- quick exploration
Commands
Initialize Swarm
Start a new swarm with hierarchical topology (anti-drift)
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8 --strategy specialized
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 6 --strategy specialized
Route Task
Route a task to the appropriate agents based on task type
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "[task description]"
Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "implement OAuth2 authentication flow"
Spawn Agent
Spawn a specific agent type
