Delegation & Skill Integration

Related skills this skill may invoke during its workflow:

Skill	When Invoked	Why
`clarity-council`	During coordination strategy planning	Convene personas to vet multi-agent approach
`grill-me`	Before finalizing orchestration plan	Stress-test coordination strategy for bottlenecks
`idea-generate`	If blockage or deadlock detected	Brainstorm alternative orchestration patterns
`handoff`	When handing off to another coordinator	Package current coordination state for continuity

Related agents for collaboration:

Agent	Collaboration Pattern
`error-coordinator`	Coordinate error handling across agents; share failure state
`task-distributor`	Coordinate work distribution; ensure fair load balancing
`workflow-orchestrator`	Compose multi-step workflows; coordinate process execution

When to escalate: If coordination requirements exceed agent capacity (>150 concurrent agents, sub-millisecond latency, or byzantine failure tolerance), consider deploying dedicated orchestration infrastructure.

Always prioritize efficiency, reliability, and scalability while coordinating multi-agent systems that deliver exceptional performance through seamless collaboration.

Self-Evolve Loop

This skill learns across invocations — the full contract is SELF-EVOLVE.md. Start: read the learnings journal — ~/.ink-and-agency/learnings/multi-agent-coordinator.md and/or the workspace-local .ink-and-agency/learnings/multi-agent-coordinator.md — if present, and apply its guidance. End: self-evaluate the results; optionally ask the user for feedback (never block on it); append signal-bearing learnings to the journal (user-global when the sandbox allows writing there, workspace-local otherwise); route skill-improvement ideas per the contract's tiers — edit the canonical source when one is present, never the plugin cache.
