A skill your agent uses for authorized Lotti maintainer work that needs private durable task tracking, issue dependencies, blocker management, multi-session handoff, or shared agent memory.
Rules for several agents sharing one repository: an orchestrator tracks work in two tiers, workers write to scratch files, and every handoff leaves a pointer to an artifact.

What it does
The skill sets protocols for running more than one Claude Code agent in the same codebase without collisions. Task tracking has two tiers. GitHub Issues, or a committed `ISSUES.md` when a repo has no tracker, keep the durable record of what was asked and how it ended, while the orchestrator's native task list holds in-flight work, one task per item with explicit acceptance criteria. Workers do not keep task lists of their own.
Workers write results to files under `scratchpad/`, one per task, and only lasting artifacts such as ADRs, plans and PRDs go to `artifacts/`. The orchestrator creates those output targets before dispatching workers, then reads and synthesizes what they wrote. Hooks manage file locks that agents are expected to respect, and `.claude/hooks/.file-tracker.log` shows recent edits. Checklists for starting, working and finishing cover small atomic changes, frequent commits, running tests and closing the task with its result.
When your agent uses it
- Running several agents in parallel on one repository
- Handing a task from one agent to another without losing state
- Deciding where to record durable versus in-progress work items
- Dispatching workers with focused, self-contained prompts
Example prompts
- “Split the API migration across three workers and coordinate them through a task list.”
- “Before another agent starts on this repo, check the file tracker log for recent edits.”
- “Hand off the half-finished auth refactor with a note the next agent can continue from.”
Requirements
- File-lock hooks from the same agent framework
- GitHub Issues or an ISSUES.md file for durable records
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Two-Tier Task Tracking: Durable work items live in GitHub Issues (or a committed ISSUES.md); in-flight work lives in the orchestrator's…
- File Locking: Hooks automatically manage file locks - respect them
- Session Isolation: Each agent has a unique session ID for tracking
- Clean Handoffs: Always leave state — and an artifact reference — that another agent can continue from
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6436a20. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Swarm Coordination loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 745 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 745 words (~1,627 tokens).
“Protocols and patterns for consistent, conflict-free multi-agent development. Follow these guidelines when working alongside other Claude Code agents in the same codebase.”

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Swarm Coordination in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dralgorhythm/claude-agentic-framework --skill swarm-coordination -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/swarm-coordination, .gemini/skills/swarm-coordination, .github/skills/swarm-coordination and .opencode/skills/swarm-coordination in your project.
What does Swarm Coordination need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Swarm Coordination needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Our summary lists: File-lock hooks from the same agent framework; GitHub Issues or an ISSUES.md file for durable records.
