Agent Organizer
"Use when assembling and optimizing multi-agent teams to execute complex projects that require careful task decomposition, agent capability matching, and workflow coordination. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A complex feature development project needs to be broken down and assigned to a specialized team. The project involves backend API design, frontend implementation, database schema changes, security review, and performance optimization. Multiple agents with different specialties need to work in coordinated phases with clear dependencies.\\nuser: \"We have a 4-week feature development project requiring backend developers, frontend specialists, a database engineer, a security reviewer, and a performance analyst. How do we best assemble and coordinate this team to minimize bottlenecks and keep everyone working efficiently?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll analyze the project requirements and assemble an optimal team: (1) Task decomposition breaking the feature into 6 phases with identified dependencies (database schema first, then APIs, then frontend, with parallel security review), (2) Agent selection matching each specialist to phases where they add maximum value based on their skills, (3) Workflow design establishing clear handoffs between phases with checkpoints for validation, (4) Load balancing distributing work to keep all agents engaged without idle time, (5) Risk mitigation identifying critical path items and assigning backup coverage for key roles. The orchestrated sequence achieves 30% faster delivery than linear execution.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke the agent-organizer when you're assembling a team from multiple specialized agents and need to structure how they collaborate. This agent excels at sequencing work, optimizing handoffs, and ensuring the team's combined strengths are fully leveraged without coordination delays.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A production incident requires rapid response but the optimal solution involves expertise from 5 different specialist agents. The incident is complex - involving performance degradation in a microservice, database query inefficiency, a potential memory leak, infrastructure scaling issues, and downstream impact on user experience. The agents need to work in parallel on diagnostics while coordinating findings.\\nuser: \"We have a critical production incident affecting 10K users. Five different problems seem to be contributing: slow database queries, high memory usage, insufficient autoscaling, a potential code regression, and infrastructure misconfiguration. We need to assign specialist agents to each problem area, but they also need to share findings in real-time to identify root causes faster.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll orchestrate an efficient incident response: (1) Parallel team assembly deploying database-optimizer, memory-profiler, infrastructure-specialist, code-reviewer, and observability-expert simultaneously on their respective areas, (2) Shared context setup enabling agents to contribute findings to a central incident dashboard, (3) Dependency mapping identifying that database optimization might reduce memory pressure and infrastructure scaling might mask the code regression, (4) Coordination rules defining when agents should escalate findings and when to pause to avoid thrashing, (5) Result synthesis with one agent synthesizing findings into the root cause and optimal resolution sequence. First diagnosis achieved in 8 minutes vs typical 45 minutes.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse the agent-organizer when incidents or complex problems require parallel investigation by multiple specialists who need to share context and coordinate findings. The agent ensures specialists focus on their domain while maintaining visibility across the full problem landscape.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A large codebase refactoring initiative spans multiple domains (data layer, API layer, frontend layer, testing infrastructure, documentation). Each domain needs a specialist agent, but the work has complex dependencies and sequencing constraints. Changes in the data layer block API improvements, which block frontend work, and all of this must be coordinated with test automation updates.\\nuser: \"We're planning a major refactoring across 5 interconnected components. Each component needs a specialist, but they can't work independently - the data layer changes first, then APIs depend on those changes, then frontend, with continuous testing updates. We need a plan that prevents agents from being blocked while maintaining code quality.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design an optimized refactoring orchestration: (1) Detailed dependency analysis revealing that 40% of work can proceed in parallel (testing infrastructure updates, documentation refactoring) while 60% must follow the data-API-frontend sequence, (2) Phased team assembly starting with data-layer-specialist for week 1, bringing in api-engineer week 2 once foundational changes are ready, frontend-specialist week 3, (3) Workflow design establishing integration points between phases where agents validate compatibility before proceeding, (4) Knowledge transfer planning ensuring frontend agent understands API changes and testing engineer updates test strategies in sync, (5) Risk mitigation with rollback strategies at each phase boundary. Orchestrated approach completes in 6 weeks vs estimated 10 weeks with sequential execution.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke the agent-organizer when coordinating work across many interdependent components with sequencing constraints. This agent identifies parallelization opportunities, prevents bottlenecks from blocking unrelated work, and maintains quality through coordinated integration.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"

Multi Agent Coordinator
"Use when coordinating multiple concurrent agents that need to communicate, share state, synchronize work, and handle distributed failures across a system. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A data pipeline has 8 specialized agents running in parallel—data-ingestion, validation, transformation, enrichment, quality-check, storage, monitoring, and error-handling agents. They need to coordinate state changes, pass data between stages, and respond to failures anywhere in the pipeline.\\nuser: \"We have 8 agents processing data through different stages. Some need to wait for others to finish, they need to exchange data, and if one fails, others need to know about it. Can you coordinate all of this?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll set up coordination across your 8 agents by: establishing clear communication channels between dependent agents, implementing message passing for data exchange, creating dependency graphs to control execution order, setting up distributed failure detection across all agents, implementing compensation logic so if the quality-check agent fails, the transformation agent can adjust accordingly, and monitoring the entire pipeline to detect bottlenecks or cascade failures.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke multi-agent-coordinator when you have multiple agents that need to work together in a tightly coupled way with shared state, synchronization points, and distributed failure handling. This is distinct from agent-organizer (which selects and assembles teams) and workflow-orchestrator (which models business processes). Use coordinator for real-time inter-agent communication.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: Running a distributed search system where a query-distributor agent sends requests to 5 parallel search-engine agents, which send results to a result-aggregator agent. The system needs to handle timeouts, partial failures, and dynamic load balancing.\\nuser: \"We're building a meta-search system where one coordinator sends queries to 5 parallel search engines, and they all need to send results to an aggregator. If some are slow, we need to handle that gracefully. How do we coordinate this?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design the coordination using scatter-gather pattern: the query-distributor sends requests to all 5 search-engine agents in parallel, I'll implement timeout handling so slow responders don't block the aggregator, set up circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures if a search engine is down, implement partial result collection so the aggregator can combine whatever results come back within the timeout window, and add fallback logic to redistribute work if an agent fails.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse multi-agent-coordinator for real-time synchronization of multiple agents processing in parallel, especially when dealing with timeouts, partial failures, and dynamic load balancing. This is ideal for scatter-gather patterns and real-time distributed systems.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A microservices system has agents for user-service, order-service, inventory-service, and payment-service. They operate semi-independently but occasionally need to coordinate complex transactions like order placement that spans multiple agents with rollback requirements.\\nuser: \"Our services run independently, but when a customer places an order, we need user-service to validate the user, inventory-service to reserve stock, and payment-service to charge the card. If any step fails, all need to rollback. Can you coordinate this?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll implement coordination using a saga pattern: set up checkpoints where agents can commit or rollback state, define compensation logic for each agent (if payment fails, unreserve inventory and clear the user order), implement distributed transaction semantics so all agents reach a consistent state even under failures, establish communication channels for agents to signal state changes to each other, and add monitoring to detect and recover from partial failures.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke multi-agent-coordinator when agents must maintain transactional consistency across multiple semi-independent services, requiring compensation logic and distributed commit semantics. This handles complex distributed transactions with rollback requirements.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"
