Smart Agent Auto-Spawning

Purpose

Automatically spawn the right agents at the right time without manual intervention.

Auto-Spawning Triggers

1. File Type Detection

When editing files, agents auto-spawn:

JavaScript/TypeScript: Coder agent
Markdown: Researcher agent
JSON/YAML: Analyst agent
Multiple files: Coordinator agent

2. Task Complexity

Simple task: "Fix typo"
→ Single coordinator agent

Complex task: "Implement OAuth with Google"
→ Architect + Coder + Tester + Researcher

3. Dynamic Scaling

The system monitors workload and spawns additional agents when:

Task queue grows
Complexity increases
Parallel opportunities exist

Status Monitoring:

// Check swarm health
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_status({
  "swarmId": "current"
})

// Monitor agent performance
mcp__claude-flow__agent_metrics({
  "agentId": "agent-123"
})

Configuration

MCP Tool Integration

Uses Claude Flow MCP tools for agent coordination:

// Initialize swarm with appropriate topology
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  "topology": "mesh",
  "maxAgents": 8,
  "strategy": "auto"
})

// Spawn agents based on file type
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
  "type": "coder",
  "name": "JavaScript Handler",
  "capabilities": ["javascript", "typescript"]
})

Fallback Configuration

If MCP tools are unavailable:

npx claude-flow hook pre-task --auto-spawn-agents

Benefits
