SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Complex multi-domain tasks often get handled sequentially or delegated vaguely, producing slow execution and poor results. This Skill turns the AI into a coordinator that decomposes work, dispatches parallel worker agents, and synthesizes their findings into a unified output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Lifecycle: Follows a six-phase loop — decompose, classify, dispatch, monitor, synthesize, verify — with explicit concurrency rules for parallel reads and sequential writes. - Worker Prompt Discipline: Provides templates for research, implementation, and verification workers that forbid vague delegation like "based on your findings" and require file paths, line numbers, and scope boundaries. - Fork & Spawn Semantics: Defines when to fork context-inheriting agents versus spawning fresh specialists, plus anti-patterns such as fabricating worker results or skipping the synthesis phase. - Use Case: When asked to refactor an authentication module, the coordinator launches parallel research workers on the token logic and session handling, synthesizes findings, then dispatches sequential implementation workers and independent verification workers. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to coordinate a complex multi-file task using coordinator mode, for example: orchestrate a security audit and refactor of the authentication module with parallel research workers.

Frequently Asked Questions about coordinator-mode

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate multiple AI agents on one task?▼

Decompose the task into classified subtasks (research, implementation, verification), dispatch read-only workers in parallel, then synthesize their outputs before launching sequential implementation workers. The coordinator plans and delegates rather than writing code directly.

When should tasks run in parallel versus sequentially with agents?▼

Parallelize independent read-only work like exploring different directories or running separate audits. Keep writes sequential when two agents touch the same file, when implementation depends on another agent's output, or when a schema change precedes dependent code.

How do I write effective prompts for worker agents?▼

Include specific file paths, line numbers, the exact change required, scope boundaries, and the expected output format. Never write "based on your findings" — the coordinator must do the synthesis and hand workers fully specified instructions.

What is the difference between forking and spawning an agent?▼

Forking inherits the coordinator's full context, suiting open-ended research with short directive prompts. Spawning starts a fresh specialist with clean context, better for specialized domain work or independent second opinions.

When should I not use multi-agent orchestration?▼

Avoid it for single-domain or simple tasks where coordination overhead exceeds the benefit. Also avoid launching more than about five workers at once, since large batches overwhelm synthesis and produce diminishing returns.
