agent-patterns is a Claude Code skill that provides structured SPAWN REQUEST and AGENT REPORT formats plus communication rules for coordinating multiple parallel agents.
About
agent-patterns is a Claude Code skill that defines structured message formats and communication protocols for coordinating multiple agents. A developer uses it to format SPAWN REQUEST messages, produce standardized AGENT REPORT status reports, and run a spawn-monitor-merge coordination workflow. It targets multi-agent sprint systems where agents must communicate traceably.
- Defines SPAWN REQUEST and AGENT REPORT message formats for coordinating parallel agents
- Specifies a 5-step coordination workflow: define tasks, spawn agents, monitor status, handle failures, merge results
- Establishes structured communication rules so agents message by ID rather than free-form text

What it does
A developer uses it to coordinate parallel agents with standardized spawn requests, status reports, and messaging protocols.
Who is it for?
Standardizing how parallel agents are spawned, report status, and hand off results
Skip if: Single-agent tasks with no coordination
When should I use this skill?
The user needs to coordinate multiple agents, format spawn requests, produce agent reports, or establish inter-agent communication patterns
What you get
- spawn request messages
- agent status reports
- coordination workflow
By the numbers
- 5-step coordination workflow (define, spawn, monitor, handle failures, merge)

Agent Patterns
Coordinate multi-agent workflows using structured communication protocols. Covers spawn requests, status reports, and inter-agent messaging within the sprint system.
Spawn Request Format
When launching a parallel agent, use this structure:
## SPAWN REQUEST
- **Agent ID**: <unique-id>
- **Role**: <role-name>
- **Task**: <one-line description>
- **Context**: <relevant files or state>
- **Expected Output**: <deliverable format>
- **Timeout**: <max duration>Agent Report Format
Each agent reports back using:
## AGENT REPORT
- **Agent ID**: <id>
- **Status**: completed | failed | blocked
- **Summary**: <one-line result>
- **Output**: <deliverable or file path>
- **Issues**: <blockers or warnings, if any>
- **Duration**: <time taken>Coordination Workflow
1. Define tasks — break work into independent units suitable for parallel execution 2. Spawn agents — send SPAWN REQUEST for each task with clear context 3. Monitor status — track agent reports as they complete 4. Handle failures — retry failed agents or reassign blocked tasks 5. Merge results — combine agent outputs into final deliverable, resolving conflicts
Communication Rules
- Agents communicate through structured reports, not free-form text
- Each message includes agent ID for traceability
- Blocked agents must report immediately rather than waiting silently
- The coordinator agent reviews all reports before merging

FAQ
What message formats does it define?
A SPAWN REQUEST format (agent ID, role, task, context, expected output, timeout) and an AGENT REPORT format (agent ID, status, summary, output, issues, duration).
What are its communication rules?
Agents communicate through structured reports not free-form text, each message includes an agent ID for traceability, and blocked agents must report immediately.
