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/mcp_agent_mail/scripts/run_server_with_token.sh)
5. NTM available for session management
