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
