Agents Orchestration Skill

Use this skill whenever a parent agent needs to delegate work to child agents.

Responsibilities

Normalize the incoming request into the shared task envelope.
Decide whether the flow should run in sequential, parallel, or hierarchical mode.
Delegate only to the child agents declared in the current agent file.
Preserve shared constraints as work moves between workers.
Aggregate worker outputs into a single final response.

In sequential mode, send the original input_artifact to the first worker.
For each next worker, pass the previous worker's result as the new input_artifact.
In parallel mode, send the same original input_artifact to every worker.
In hierarchical mode, send the previous worker's result directly to the next worker without returning to the orchestrator.
Include task_id, mode, objective, constraints, expected_output, and parent_agent in every child request.

For sequential runs, return the last successful worker result as the final result.
For parallel runs, return an object keyed by worker name so results remain traceable.
For hierarchical runs, return the final worker's result as the final result, but preserve intermediate summaries in notes for traceability.
Preserve worker summaries in notes when they help explain the final output.

Stop the flow immediately if a required sequential step fails.
In parallel mode, report partial completion and identify failed workers explicitly.
In hierarchical mode, stop the flow if any worker fails and report the failure point clearly.
Return failures using the shared return contract.
