Multi-Agent Orchestration
Meta-orchestration patterns mined from 597+ real agent dispatches across production codebases. The skill maps orchestration strategy to work shape, prompt structure to agent type, and background/foreground to dependency graph.
Core principle: Match the strategy to the work, partition agents by independence, inject enough context that parallelism is real, and let review overhead adapt as trust earns itself. The strategies below are reference patterns. Pick the one that fits, blend two when the work is mixed, invent your own when the patterns don't match.
Dispatch Surface by Host
The strategies are host-agnostic; the fan-out verb differs:
| Host | Fan-out surface | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Agent tool — parallel calls in one block, background for swarms |
Worktree isolation via the agent's isolation option |
| Codex | spawn_agent with a role-appropriate agent_type |
Use only when subagent work is actually warranted |
| Pi (pi-nova pack) | dispatch tool with "mode": "parallel" |
Children inherit the safety gate via PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR |
