FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate AI agents for parallel code review?▼

You can orchestrate AI agents for parallel code review by dispatching a configurable agent swarm using the pr-review preset, which routes requests to pattern-specific skills and synthesizes findings into a single report.

What is the best way to manage complex multi-agent workflows?▼

The best way to manage complex multi-agent workflows is using orchestration patterns like fan-out, pipeline, and task graphs, which route requests to AI specialists and handle task execution collaboratively.

Can I customize agent roles for specific task workflows?▼

Yes, you can customize agent roles and use pre-defined workflow presets to configure specific tasks, allowing the swarm to adapt to various parallel processing and workflow automation needs.

How does agent orchestration handle workflow reliability and cleanup?▼

Agent orchestration handles reliability by validating configurations, spawning watchdog monitors, and cleaning up stale worktrees, ensuring complex multi-agent workflows run without interruption.

Do I need external dependencies to run AI agent swarms?▼

No external dependencies are required to run AI agent swarms, as the skill manages its own internal scripts and references to validate configurations and dispatch tasks independently.
