# Store task_id for monitoring
Pattern A: Parallel Independent
Spawning 3 agents in parallel:
[AGENT-1: tests] ā tests/testthat/test-medci.R
[AGENT-2: docs] ā man/medci.Rd + roxygen
[AGENT-3: check] ā R CMD check --as-cran
Dependencies: None (all independent)
ETA: ~5 min (bounded by slowest)
Pattern B: Sequential Pipeline
Pipeline (sequential):
[AGENT-1: analyze] ā Identify deprecated APIs
ā (blocks)
[AGENT-2: refactor] ā Update to new APIs
ā (blocks)
[AGENT-3: test] ā Verify no regressions
ā (blocks)
[AGENT-4: check] ā Full package check
Pattern C: Fan-out/Fan-in
Fan-out:
[ORCHESTRATOR] ā spawns [A1], [A2], [A3]
Fan-in:
[A1: coverage=87%] āā
[A2: 0 warnings] āā¼ā [ORCHESTRATOR: synthesize report]
[A3: docs complete]āā

## š“ ERROR ENCOUNTERED
**Agent**: test-1
**Phase**: Unit test execution
**Error**:
Error in medci(): argument "alpha" is missing
**Diagnosis**: Missing default parameter
**Severity**: š” Medium (blocks tests, not code)
### Recovery Options
1. **Auto-fix**: Add default `alpha = 0.05` [RECOMMENDED]
2. **Investigate**: Show function signature
3. **Escalate**: Pause and report to user
**Action taken**: Auto-fix applied, re-running tests...
## š RETRY ATTEMPT 2/3
**Previous failure**: Network timeout
**Wait**: 5 sec
**Modified approach**: Using cached CRAN mirror
[Retrying...]
When user input needed:
## š DECISION REQUIRED
**Options**:
1. **Quick fix**: Suppress warning (5 min, not ideal)
2. **Proper fix**: Refactor dependency (20 min, recommended)
3. **Defer**: Add to TODOS.md (1 min)
**Recommendation**: Option 2
**Waiting for**: Your choice or "proceed with recommendation"
The orchestrator adapts behavior based on the mode specified:
| Mode | Max Agents | Compression | Verbosity | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
default | 2 | 70% | Normal | Quick tasks |
debug | 1 (sequential) | 90% | Verbose | Troubleshooting |
optimize | 4 | 60% | Minimal | Fast parallel work |
release | 4 | 85% | Full report | Pre-release audit |
# User invocation:
/craft:orchestrate "add auth" optimize
# Orchestrator applies:
## š ORCHESTRATOR v2 ā OPTIMIZE MODE
**Configuration**:
- Max parallel agents: 4
- Compression threshold: 60%
- Output verbosity: Minimal (results only)
- Strategy: Aggressive parallelization
[Proceeding with fast parallel execution...]
default mode (balanced):
debug mode (verbose):
optimize mode (speed):
release mode (thorough):
When spawning subagents, pass mode context:
task = Task(
subagent_type="test-specialist",
prompt=f"[MODE: {current_mode}] Run comprehensive tests...",
run_in_background=True,
description=f"[AGENT-TEST] {current_mode} mode"
)
Since we can't directly query context usage, use these heuristics:
| Signal | Estimated Tokens | Action |
|---|---|---|
| User message (short) | ~50-100 | Track |
| User message (long) | ~200-500 | Track |
| Agent response (code) | ~500-2000 | Summarize if large |
| File read | ~100-1000 | Don't store full content |
| Command output | ~200-1000 | Store summary only |
| Each exchange | ~300-600 total | Cumulative tracking |
## š CONTEXT BUDGET
| Component | Tokens (est) | % of ~128K |
|-----------|--------------|------------|
| System prompt | ~3,000 | 2.3% |
| Conversation | ~15,000 | 11.7% |
| Agent results | ~8,000 | 6.3% |
| **Total** | **~26,000** | **20.3%** |
Status: š¢ Healthy (< 50%)
| Trigger | Threshold | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange count | > 20 | Check for compression |
| Estimated tokens | > 70K (~55%) | Warning |
| Estimated tokens | > 100K (~78%) | Compress now |
| Large agent response | > 3000 tokens | Summarize immediately |
| Claude warning | "context" in message | Immediate compression |
| User says | "getting long" | Proactive compression |
Each agent limited to ~15% of total context:
Agent Budgets (15% each ā 19K tokens):
- arch-1: āāāāāāāāāā 8K (42%) š¢
- code-1: āāāāāāāāāā 12K (63%) š”
- test-1: āāāāāāāāāā 6K (32%) š¢
- doc-1: āāāāāāāāāā 2K (11%) š¢
If agent exceeds budget ā summarize + archive
When compressing agent output:
## Agent Result Summary (arch-1)
**Original**: 2,847 tokens
**Compressed**: 312 tokens
### Key Findings
1. Recommend OAuth 2.0 with PKCE
2. Use passport.js for provider integration
3. Store tokens in httpOnly cookies
### Files Suggested
- src/auth/oauth.ts (new)
- src/middleware/auth.ts (modify)
### Discarded Details
- Full code examples (in git)
- Alternative approaches considered
- Verbose security rationale
