What this skill does
Agent Swarm Workflow — Parallel Implementation Core Insight: Every agent is fungible and a generalist. They all use the same base model and read the same AGENTS.md. Simply telling one it's a "frontend agent" doesn't make it better at frontend. The swarm is distributed, robust, and self-organizing through Agent Mail and Beads. --- Prerequisites Before starting a swarm: 1. Comprehensive plan created (see planning-workflow skill) 2. Polished beads ready (see beads-workflow skill) 3. AGENTS.md configured with all tool blurbs 4. Agent Mail server running (am or ~/projects/mcpagentmail/scripts/runserverwithtoken.sh) 5. NTM available for session management --- The Swarm Architecture --- Starting the Swarm Using NTM (Named Tmux Manager) Manual Setup Create tmux sessions/panes for each agent in your project folder. --- THE EXACT PROMPT — Initial Agent Marching Orders Give each agent this EXACT prompt to start: --- The Implementation Loop THE EXACT PROMPT — Move to Next Bead Once agents complete a bead, use this prompt to keep them moving: THE EXACT PROMPT — Self-Review After Bead Completion Have agents review their work before moving on: Keep running this until they stop finding bugs. --- Handling Context Compaction THE EXACT PROMPT — Post-Compaction When an agent does a compaction, immediately follow up with: This re-establishes the critical context about tools and workflows. --- Quality Review Prompts THE EXACT PROMPT — Cross-Agent Review Periodically have agents review each other's work: THE EXACT PROMPT — Random Code Exploration For deep quality checks: --- Committing Work THE EXACT PROMPT — Commit Changes Have agents commit logically grouped changes: --- Post-Bead Completion Prompts THE EXACT PROMPT — Add Test Coverage THE EXACT PROMPT — UI/UX Scrutiny THE EXACT PROMPT — Deep UI/UX Enhancement --- Agent Mail Integration How Agents Coordinate Each agent: 1. Registers with Agent Mail at session start 2. Reserves files before editing (filereservationpaths) 3. …
