Swarm Orchestra v2 Plugin Adds Inter-Agent Messaging to Fix Claude Code Agent Team Chaos
Swarm Orchestra Plugin for Claude Code Agent Teams
Swarm Orchestra is a plugin designed to fix issues with Claude Code's experimental TeamCreate feature. According to the developer, TeamCreate is experimental and Claude often struggles to invoke it correctly. When it does work, it can spawn agents without proper guardrails, leading to teammates spawning more teammates in a runaway process—the developer reported hitting 20+ agents from what should have been a team of 3.
How the Plugin Works
The plugin manages the full agent lifecycle with several key features:
- Plans the team structure through structured questions before any agents are spawned
- Presents a proposal for user approval before TeamCreate is ever called
- Injects delegation rules into every teammate prompt to prevent nested team explosions
- Includes a force-clean fallback for when TeamDelete inevitably fails
What's New in Version 2
The v2 release introduces two major features:
- Inter-agent messaging: Agents can now message each other mid-turn without waiting for a turn boundary, implemented via a PreToolUse hook
- Self-configuration: Spawned agents now configure themselves via a /teammate skill instead of requiring the orchestrator to manually assemble every prompt
Installation
To install the plugin:
claude plugin marketplace add NuskiBuilds/swarm-orchestra
claude plugin install swarm-orchestraThe repository is available at github.com/NuskiBuilds/swarm-orchestra.
The developer built this tool out of frustration after experiencing multiple instances where agent swarms went sideways during development.
