Is there a limit to how many agents the swarm can manage?

While the skill can spawn many agents, it is recommended to keep the team size manageable (3-5 agents) to ensure efficient coordination and token usage.

How do agents in the swarm share information?

Agents share context through a centralized task list and shared memory if enabled. The orchestrator also relays critical information between agents via the SendMessage tool.

What templates are available for team launching?

The skill supports various Openteams templates including gsd (Get Stuff Done), bmad-method, bug-fix-pipeline, docs-sync, and security-audit.

Can spawned agents create their own agents within the swarm?

No, due to Claude Code limitations, only the main orchestrator agent can spawn teammates. The orchestrator is responsible for managing all agent lifecycles.

Collaboration Tools

Orchestrates native Claude Code agent teams using specialized topology templates to automate complex, multi-role workflows.

The Swarm skill transforms Claude into a central orchestrator capable of launching and managing a specialized team of AI agents directly within Claude Code. By utilizing Openteams topology templates, it automatically generates role-specific prompts, assigns tasks, and coordinates communication across multiple teammates to handle complex projects like security audits, bug-fix pipelines, or documentation synchronization. It bridges the gap between individual task execution and collaborative team-based software development, allowing for parallel processing of work while maintaining a centralized point of command and control.

Key Features

01Dynamic Task Management: Creates and tracks tasks with dependencies to ensure logical work progression across the team.

02Context Integration: Leverages memory (minimem) for long-term context retention and skill-tree for role-specific capability profiles.

03Template-based Team Spawning: Launch predefined teams like 'bug-fix-pipeline' or 'security-audit' from YAML topologies.

04Parallel Execution: Coordinates multiple agents simultaneously to accelerate complex development goals and reduce project timelines.

05Native Orchestration: Manages the lifecycle of multiple Claude Code teammates, including spawning, task assignment, and shutdown.

Use Cases

01Automated Bug Resolution: Use the 'bug-fix-pipeline' template to assign specialized agents for reproduction, fixing, and testing.

02System Security Audits: Deploy a team of specialized security agents to scan, analyze, and report on repository-wide vulnerabilities.

03Comprehensive Documentation Sync: Synchronize and update project documentation across multiple modules using specialized docs-sync roles.
