What this skill does
Swarm Fan out N parallel workers. They may cover separate slices, race the same brief, or mix both. The parent waits, aggregates, and returns one report. Companion to arena, which picks a base and grafts. Companion to multi-agent-patterns, which designs architectures. This skill runs one operational fan-out. Authorized Scope Apply this engine only within the user's requested task and existing explicit authorization. Loading or delegating to it grants no additional authority. Preserve report-only restrictions and the caller's target, host, provider, and cost limits. Existing approval satisfies a gate only for the same actions and scope; obtain approval before expanding them. Forward these limits to delegates. Contract Inputs: A done predicate and the report the swarm must return Shape: partition, race, or mix Optional N Outputs: One consolidated report with a result table, issue one-liners, and gaps or dropouts Creates/Modifies: Per-worker output under worktrees or .tmp/swarm-<slug>/worker-<n>/ when workers write External Side Effects: None beyond what each worker's brief authorizes Confirmation Required: None for the swarm itself Delegates To: worktree when workers need isolated checkouts Phases Open a todo list: Frame, Fan out, Aggregate, Report. A. Frame State the done predicate. Choose the shape. For a race, declare first pass, rank all, or best-of before spawning. Set N. Default workers to the fast cheap tier. For a model-family race, name each arm's capability tier up front. B. Fan out Spawn all N workers in one message. Every brief stands alone: goal, scope, slice or race arm, how to verify, what to report. Reports use PASS, ISSUES, or BLOCKED with evidence. C. Aggregate Read the terminal results. For coverage, every required slice needs a result. For a race, apply the selection rule declared up front. Do not paste raw worker dumps. D. Report Return one in-chat report: table, issue one-liners, gaps or dropouts, and the race rule when used. …
