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
