This skill should be used when designing multi-agent systems that need context isolation, supervisor or swarm coordination, explicit handoffs, parallel execution, or a decision on whether multiple agents are justified.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering /tmp/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering && ln -s /tmp/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/skills/multi-agent-patterns ~/.claude/skills/multi-agent-patterns
```

## From README

Multi-Agent Architecture Patterns Multi-agent architectures distribute work across multiple language model instances, each with its own context window. When designed well, this distribution enables capabilities beyond single-agent limits. When designed poorly, it introduces coordination overhead that negates benefits. The critical insight is that sub-agents exist primarily to isolate context, not to anthropomorphize role division.
