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
