Agentica Spawn Skill

Use this skill after user selects an Agentica pattern.

When to Use

• After agentica-orchestrator prompts user for pattern selection

• When user explicitly requests a multi-agent pattern (swarm, hierarchical, etc.)

• When implementing complex tasks that benefit from parallel agent execution

• For research tasks requiring multiple perspectives (use Swarm)

• For implementation tasks requiring coordination (use Hierarchical)

• For iterative refinement (use Generator/Critic)

• For high-stakes validation (use Jury)

Pattern Selection to Spawn Method

Swarm (Research/Explore)

swarm = Swarm( perspectives=[ "Security expert analyzing for vulnerabilities", "Performance expert optimizing for speed", "Architecture expert reviewing design" ], aggregate_mode=AggregateMode.MERGE, ) result = await swarm.execute(task_description)

Hierarchical (Build/Implement)

hierarchical = Hierarchical( coordinator_premise="You break tasks into subtasks", specialist_premises={ "planner": "You create implementation plans", "implementer": "You write code", "reviewer": "You review code for issues" }, ) result = await hierarchical.execute(task_description)

Generator/Critic (Iterate/Refine)

gc = GeneratorCritic( generator_premise="You generate solutions", critic_premise="You critique and suggest improvements", max_rounds=3, ) result = await gc.run(task_description)

Jury (Validate/Verify)

jury = Jury( num_jurors=5, consensus_mode=ConsensusMode.MAJORITY, premise="You evaluate the solution" ) verdict = await jury.decide(bool, question)

Environment Variables

All spawned agents receive:

• SWARM_ID : Unique identifier for this swarm run

• AGENT_ROLE : Role within the pattern (coordinator, specialist, etc.)

• PATTERN_TYPE : Which pattern is running
