Swarm Spawning

jamie-bitflight/swarm-spawning

Covers how to create agents in Claude Code swarms -- subagents vs teammates, built-in agent type catalog (Bash, Explore, Plan, general-purpose, claude-code-guide), plugin agent types from compound-engineering, spawn backend selection (in-process, tmux, iterm2) with auto-detection logic, and environment variables injected into spawned agents. Use when choosing how to spawn an agent, selecting the right agent type, configuring or troubleshooting spawn backends, or passing env vars to teammates.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take jamie-bitflight/swarm-spawning from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
