# Swarm Orchestration Skill

## Purpose
Multi-agent swarm coordination for complex tasks.

## When to Trigger
- 3+ files need changes
- new features
- refactoring

## When to Skip
- single file edits
- simple fixes
- documentation

## Commands

### Initialize Swarm
Start a new swarm with hierarchical topology

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8
```

### Route Task
Route a task to the appropriate agents

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "[task description]"
```

### Monitor Status
Check the current swarm status

```bash
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm status
```



## Best Practices
1. Check memory for existing patterns before starting
2. Use hierarchical topology for coordination
3. Store successful patterns after completion
4. Document any new learnings
