By name: agent-coordination description: > Agent spawning, lifecycle management, and coordination patterns. Manages 60+ agent types with specialized capabilities. Use when: spawning agents, coordinating multi-agent tasks, managing agent pools. Skip when: single-agent work, no coordination needed.
Agent Coordination Skill
Purpose
Spawn and coordinate agents for complex multi-agent tasks.

Commands
Spawn Agent
npx claude-flow agent spawn --type coder --name my-coder
List Agents
npx claude-flow agent list --filter active
Agent Status
npx claude-flow agent status --id agent-123
Agent Metrics
npx claude-flow agent metrics --id agent-123
Stop Agent
npx claude-flow agent stop --id agent-123
Pool Management
npx claude-flow agent pool --size 5 --type coder
Routing Codes
| Code | Task | Agents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bug Fix | coordinator, researcher, coder, tester |
| 3 | Feature | coordinator, architect, coder, tester, reviewer |
| 5 | Refactor | coordinator, architect, coder, reviewer |
| 7 | Performance | coordinator, perf-engineer, coder |
| 9 | Security | coordinator, security-architect, auditor |
Best Practices
- Use hierarchical topology for coordination
- Keep agent count under 8 for tight coordination
- Use specialized agents for specific tasks
- Coordinate via memory, not direct communication
