What it does
Agent Coordination is an agent skill from bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow. Agent assignment matrix, blocker escalation, and TDM coordination patterns. Use when assigning work to specialists, managing blockers, or coordinating multi-agent workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Multi-agent orchestration. The repository describes itself as: SAW — SAFe Agentic Workflow AI Agent Harness for Multi-Agent Team Workflows Built on SAFe methodology (Scaled Agile Framework), adapted for AI agent teams (Now With AI-DLC!)… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Assigning work to specialists
- Managing blockers
- Coordinating multi-agent workflows
Example prompts
- “/agent-coordination”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26ca58b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Agent Coordination loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Agent Coordination Skill
Purpose
Guide correct agent assignment, blocker escalation, and delivery coordination following the TDM role boundaries.
When This Skill Applies
Invoke this skill when:
- Assigning work to specialist agents
- Managing blockers across agents
- Coordinating multi-agent workflows
- Escalating issues to ARCHitect/POPM
- Verifying pre-implementation gate
- Updating Linear with evidence
Stop-the-Line Conditions
FORBIDDEN Patterns
# FORBIDDEN: Wrong agent assignment
Database work → BE Developer # WRONG: Use Data Engineer!
Security validation → QAS # WRONG: Use Security Engineer!
Documentation → BE Developer # WRONG: Use Tech Writer!
# FORBIDDEN: Skipping pre-implementation gate
Start coding before BSA spec # Must have acceptance criteria first
# FORBIDDEN: Unresolved blockers >4 hours
Blocker exists but not escalated # Escalate within 1 hourCORRECT Patterns
# CORRECT: Right agent for the job
Database work → Data Engineer
Security validation → Security Engineer
Documentation → Tech Writer
Planning/Specs → BSA
Architecture review → System Architect
API implementation → BE Developer
UI implementation → FE Developer
Testing → QAS
PR/Release → RTE
# CORRECT: Pre-implementation gate
1. BSA creates spec with acceptance criteria
2. System Architect reviews patterns
3. THEN specialist executesAgent Assignment Matrix (MANDATORY)
| Work Type | Correct Agent | Never Use |
|---|---|---|
| Database/Migrations | Data Engineer | BE Developer |
| Security/RLS | Security Engineer | QAS |
| Documentation | Tech Writer | BE/FE Developer |
| Specs/Planning | BSA | Any implementation |
| Architecture | System Architect | Direct to developer |

| UI Components | FE Developer | BE Developer |
| Testing/QA | QAS | Implementation team |

Blocker Escalation Protocol
When to Escalate
| Condition | Escalate To | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| Blocker > 1 hour | TDM | Immediately |
| Blocker > 4 hours | ARCHitect | Urgent |
| Architecture ambiguity | ARCHitect | Before work |
| Cross-team dependency | TDM + POPM | Same day |
| Security concern | SecEng | Immediately |
Escalation Template
**Blocker Escalation**
**Ticket**: {{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX
**Blocked Since**: [timestamp]
**Agent**: [which specialist is blocked]
**Issue**:
[Clear description of what's blocking progress]
**Attempts Made**:
1. [What was tried]
2. [What was tried]
**Request**:
[Specific ask - decision needed, resource needed, etc.]Pre-Implementation Gate
MANDATORY before any implementation work:
1. BSA creates spec with:
- [ ] Clear acceptance criteria
- [ ] Pattern references for execution
- [ ] Success validation command
2. System Architect reviews:
- [ ] Pattern compliance
- [ ] RLS requirements (if database)
- [ ] Security implications
3. THEN implementation can beginEvidence Attachment
All work must include evidence in Linear:
**Implementation Evidence**
**Session ID**: [Claude session ID]
**Agent**: [which specialist]
**Ticket**: {{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX
**Work Completed**:
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
**Validation**:
```bash
yarn ci:validate
# All checks passed
```Next Steps: [if any]
## TDM Boundaries
### TDM Does
- ✅ Track delivery progress
- ✅ Update Linear tickets
- ✅ Escalate blockers
- ✅ Attach evidence
- ✅ React to issues
### TDM Does NOT
- ❌ Orchestrate feature work (ARCHitect's job)
- ❌ Run CI/CD validation (specialists' job)
- ❌ Execute technical work (specialists' job)
- ❌ Proactively assign features (ARCHitect's job)

Launches one separate agent through Paseo to give a second opinion on the current task, with a self-contained briefing and no permission to edit files.

builderz-labs/mission-control
Teaches an agent to use the Mission Control dashboard API: register, send heartbeats, fetch assigned tasks, report progress and disconnect, with API key auth.
Paseo Agent Handoff
getpaseo/paseo
Hands off the current task, including context, decisions and failed attempts, to a fresh agent through Paseo by writing a self-contained briefing prompt and launching that agent.
