Multi-agent orchestration patterns. Use when multiple independent tasks can run with different domain expertise or when comprehensive analysis requires multiple perspectives.

Native Parallel Agents Orchestration through Claude Code's built in Agent Tool Overview This skill enables coordinating multiple specialized agents through Claude Code's native agent system. Unlike external scripts, this approach keeps all orchestration within Claude's control. When to Use Orchestration ✅ Good for: Complex tasks requiring multiple expertise domains Code analysis from security, performance, and quality perspectives Comprehensive reviews (architecture + security + testing) Feature implementation needing backend + frontend + database work ❌ Not for: Simple, single domain tasks Quick fixes or small changes Tasks where one agent suffices Native Agent Invocation Single Agent Sequential Chain With Context Passing Resume Previous Work Orchestration Patterns Pattern 1: Comprehensive Analysis Pattern 2: Feature Review Pattern 3: Security Audit Available Agents Agent Expertise Trigger Phrases orchestrator Coordination "comprehensive", "multi perspective" security auditor Security "security", "auth", "vulnerabilities" penetration tester Security Testing "pentest", "red team", "exploit" backend specialist Backend "API", "server", "Node.js", "Express" frontend specialist Frontend "React", "UI", "components", "Next.js" test engineer Testing "tests", "coverage", "TDD" devops engineer DevOps "deploy", "CI/CD", "infrastructure" database architect Database "schema", "Prisma", "migrations" mobile developer Mobile "React Native", "Flutter", "mobile" api designer API Design "REST", "GraphQL", "OpenAPI" debugger Debugging "bug", "error", "not working" explorer agent Discovery "explore", "map", "structure" documentation writer Documentation "write docs", "create README", "generate API docs" performance optimizer Performance "slow", "optimize", "profiling" project planner Planning "plan", "roadmap", "milestones" seo specialist SEO "SEO", "meta tags", "search ranking" game developer Game Development "game", "Unity", "Godot", "Phaser" Claude Code Built in Agents These work alongside custom agents: Agent Model Purpose Explore Haiku Fast read only codebase search Plan Sonnet Research during plan mode General purpose Sonnet Complex multi step modifications Use Explore for quick searches, custom agents for domain expertise. Synthesis Protocol After all agents complete, synthesize: Best Practices 1. Available agents 17 specialized agents can be orchestrated 2. Logical order Discovery → Analysis → Implementation → Testing 3. Share context Pass relevant findings to subsequent agents 4. Single synthesis One unified report, not separate outputs 5. Verify changes Always include test engineer for code modifications Key Benefits ✅ Single session All agents share context ✅ AI controlled Claude orchestrates autonomously ✅ Native integration Works with built in Explore, Plan agents ✅ Resume support Can continue previous agent work ✅ Context passing Findings flow between agents Limitations Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment specific validation, testing, or expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
