Multi Agent Patterns
This skill should be used when designing multi-agent systems that need context isolation, supervisor or swarm coordination, explicit handoffs, parallel execution, or a decision on whether multiple agents are justified.

From the SKILL.md
# Multi-Agent Architecture Patterns Multi-agent architectures distribute work across multiple language model instances, each with its own context window. When designed well, this distribution enables capabilities beyond single-agent limits. When designed poorly, it introduces coordination overhead that negates benefits. The critical insight is that sub-agents exist primarily to isolate context, not to anthropomorphize role division. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when: - Single-agent context limits constrain task complexity - Tasks decompose naturally into parallel subtasks - Different subtasks require different tool sets or system prompts - Building systems that must handle multiple domains simultaneously - Scaling agent capabilities beyond single-context limits - Designing production agent systems with multiple specialized components Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills: - Deciding task-model fit, pipeline shape, or project-level cost before topology is known: `project-development`. - Designing hosted sandboxes, warm pools, remote sessions, or background runtime infrastructure: `hosted-agents`. - Sharing orchestrator state through KV-cache compaction in controlled runtimes: `latent-briefing`. - Designing the tools each agent exposes: `tool-design`. ## Core Concepts

Context Compression
18kmuratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering
This skill should be used when long-running agent sessions need context compression, structured summarization, compaction, token-per-task optimization, or durable handoff summaries that preserve decisions, files, risks, and next actions.
Context Degradation
18kmuratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering
This skill should be used for diagnosing and mitigating context degradation: lost-in-middle failures, context poisoning, context clash, context confusion, attention-pattern issues, and agent performance degradation caused by accumulated or conflicting context.
Context Engineering Collection

A comprehensive collection of Agent Skills for context engineering, harness engineering, multi-agent architectures, and production agent systems. Use when building, optimizing, evaluating, or debugging agent systems that require effective context management and reliable operating loops.
Tool Design
18kmuratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering
This skill should be used for the tool-interface layer of an agent system specifically: writing tool descriptions agents can route on, designing tool schemas and response formats, naming conventions, actionable error recovery messages, MCP server design, tool-set consolidation, and deciding when to add or remove an individual tool. Use this when the unit of work is a single tool or a set of tools. Route project-shape, pipeline architecture, and task-model-fit decisions to project-development; route deciding whether to introduce sub-agents to multi-agent-patterns.
