Plan Swarm

Plan Swarm

Refine plans through collaborative multi-agent expert discussion.

⚠️ Cost Warning: This skill uses the Opus model and spawns 3-10 agents for multi-round discussions. A typical plan-swarm session consumes 5-20x more tokens than a standard skill invocation. Consider using review-plan for simpler validation needs.

When to Activate

• User wants multiple expert perspectives
• Plan needs collaborative refinement
• Complex trade-offs require discussion
• Consensus building needed
• User asks for "expert opinions" or "different perspectives"

Key Features
