Can I use custom agent types with Swarm Spawning?

Yes, it supports built-in types like 'Explore' and 'Plan' as well as extended plugin types like 'security-sentinel' or 'architecture-strategist' from the compound-engineering plugin.

Does this skill require external software?

For visual split-panes, you need tmux or iTerm2 installed. If neither is available, the system will default to 'in-process' execution within the existing Node.js environment.

Which backend should I use for agent spawning?

Use 'tmux' or 'iterm2' if you want to see real-time output in split panes. Use 'in-process' for the fastest execution if you do not need to monitor the agent's internal terminal output.

What is the difference between a subagent and a teammate?

Subagents are short-lived, synchronous agents used for specific return-value tasks, while teammates are persistent entities that join a team and collaborate via shared task lists and messaging.

How do spawned agents communicate with each other?

Agents communicate through return values, the 'SendMessage' tool, shared environment variables, and by accessing a central team task list.

コラボレーションツール

Orchestrates multi-agent swarms by spawning specialized subagents and persistent teammates for complex coding tasks.

Swarm Spawning is a robust framework for managing multi-agent architectures within Claude Code. It allows developers to scale their AI workflows by choosing between short-lived subagents for focused research and persistent teammates for ongoing collaborative projects. The skill features an extensive catalog of pre-configured agent types—including security reviewers, architecture strategists, and codebase explorers—while providing flexible execution backends like tmux and iTerm2 for real-time visibility. By automating environment configuration and process isolation, Swarm Spawning enables seamless coordination across complex, multi-step engineering pipelines.
