Parallel Swarm Implementation (Loop 2) - META-SKILL

Purpose

META-SKILL ORCHESTRATOR that dynamically compiles Loop 1 planning packages into executable agent+skill graphs, then coordinates theater-free parallel implementation.

Specialist Agent Coordination

I am Queen Coordinator (Seraphina) orchestrating the "swarm compiler" pattern.

Meta-Skill Architecture:

1. Analyze Loop 1 planning package
2. Select optimal agents from 86-agent registry per task
3. Assign skills to agents (when skills exist) OR generate custom instructions
4. Create agent+skill assignment matrix
5. Execute dynamically based on matrix with continuous monitoring
6. Validate theater-free execution through multi-agent consensus

Methodology (9-Step Adaptive SOP):

1. Initialization: Queen-led hierarchical topology with dual memory
2. Analysis: Queen analyzes Loop 1 plan and creates agent+skill matrix
3. MECE Validation: Ensure tasks are Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive
4. Dynamic Deployment: Spawn agents with skills OR custom instructions per matrix
5. Theater Detection: 6-agent consensus validation (0% tolerance)
6. Integration: Sandbox testing until 100% working
7. Documentation: Auto-sync with implementation
8. Test Validation: Reality check all tests
9. Completion: Package for Loop 3

Integration: Loop 2 of 3. Receives → research-driven-planning (Loop 1), Feeds → cicd-intelligent-recovery (Loop 3).

When to Use This Skill

Activate this META-SKILL when:

• Have validated plan from Loop 1 with research and risk analysis
• Need production-quality implementation with 0% theater tolerance
• Require adaptive agent+skill selection based on project specifics
• Want parallel multi-agent execution (8.3x speedup)
• Building complex features requiring intelligent coordination
• Need comprehensive audit trails for compliance

DO NOT use this skill for:

• Planning phase (use Loop 1: research-driven-planning first)
• Quick prototypes without validated plans
• Trivial single-file changes (direct implementation faster)

Meta-Skill Nature: Unlike Loop 1 (fixed 6+8 agent SOPs), Loop 2 is adaptive. The Queen Coordinator dynamically selects which agents to use and whether they should follow existing skills or custom instructions based on the specific project.

Prerequisites

Verify Loop 1 completion and load planning context:

# Validate Loop 1 package exists
test -f .claude/.artifacts/loop1-planning-package.json && echo "✅ Loop 1 Complete" || {
  echo "❌ Run research-driven-planning skill first"
  exit 1
}

# Load planning data
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query "loop1_complete" \
  --namespace "integration/loop1-to-loop2"

# Verify research + risk analysis present
jq '.research.confidence_score, .risk_analysis.final_failure_confidence' \
  .claude/.artifacts/loop1-planning-package.json

Expected Output: Research confidence ≥70%, failure confidence <3%

Step 1: Queen Analyzes & Creates Agent+Skill Matrix (META-ORCHESTRATION)

Objective: Queen Coordinator reads Loop 1 plan and dynamically generates agent+skill assignment matrix.

Execute Queen's Meta-Analysis SOP

Agent: Queen Coordinator (Seraphina) - hierarchical-coordinator

// STEP 1: META-ANALYSIS - Queen Creates Agent+Skill Assignment Matrix
// This is the "swarm compiler" phase

[Single Message - Queen Meta-Orchestration]:
  Task("Queen Coordinator (Seraphina)",
    `MISSION: Compile Loop 1 planning package into executable agent+skill graph.

    PHASE 1: LOAD LOOP 1 CONTEXT
    - Load planning package: .claude/.artifacts/loop1-planning-package.json
    - Extract: MECE task breakdown, research recommendations, risk mitigations
    - Parse: $(jq '.planning.enhanced_plan' .claude/.artifacts/loop1-planning-package.json)

    PHASE 2: TASK ANALYSIS
    For each task in Loop 1 plan:
    1. Identify task type: backend, frontend, database, testing, documentation, infrastructure
    2. Determine complexity: simple (1 agent), moderate (2-3 agents), complex (4+ agents)
    3. Extract required capabilities from task description
    4. Apply Loop 1 research recommendations for technology/library selection
    5. Apply Loop 1 risk mitigations as constraints

    PHASE 3: AGENT SELECTION (from 86-agent registry)
    For each task:
    1. Match task type to agent type:
       - backend tasks → backend-dev, system-architect
       - testing tasks → tester, tdd-london-swarm
       - quality tasks → theater-detection-audit, functionality-audit, code-review-assistant
       - docs tasks → api-docs, docs-writer
    2. Select optimal agent based on:
       - Agent capabilities matching task requirements
       - Agent availability (workload balancing)
       - Agent specialization score

    PHASE 4: SKILL ASSIGNMENT (key meta-skill decision)
    For each agent assignment:
    1. Check if specialized skill exists for this task type:
       - Known skills: tdd-london-swarm, theater-detection-audit, functionality-audit,
         code-review-assistant, api-docs, database-schema-design, etc.
    2. If skill exists:
       - useSkill: <skill-name>
       - customInstructions: Context-specific parameters for skill
    3. If NO skill exists:
       - useSkill: null
       - customInstructions: Detailed instructions from Loop 1 + Queen's guidance

    PHASE 5: GENERATE ASSIGNMENT MATRIX
    Create .claude/.artifacts/agent-skill-assignments.json:
    {
      "project": "<from Loop 1>",
      "loop1_package": "integration/loop1-to-loop2",
      "tasks": [
        {
          "taskId": "string",
          "description": "string",
          "taskType": "enum[backend, frontend, database, test, quality, docs, infrastructure]",
          "complexity": "enum[simple, moderate, complex]",
          "assignedAgent": "string (from 86-agent registry)",
          "useSkill": "string | null",
          "customInstructions": "string (detailed if useSkill is null, contextual if using skill)",
          "priority": "enum[low, medium, high, critical]",
          "dependencies": ["array of taskIds"],
          "loop1_research": "relevant research findings",
          "loop1_risk_mitigation": "relevant risk mitigations"
        }
      ],
      "parallelGroups": [
        {
          "group": number,
          "tasks": ["array of taskIds"],
          "reason": "why these can execute in parallel"
        }
      ],
      "statistics": {
        "totalTasks": number,
        "skillBasedAgents": number,
        "customInstructionAgents": number,
        "uniqueAgents": number,
        "estimatedParallelism": "string (e.g., '3 groups, 8.3x speedup')"
      }
    }

    PHASE 6: OPTIMIZATION
    1. Identify independent tasks for parallel execution
    2. Group dependent tasks into sequential phases
    3. Balance agent workload (no agent handles >3 tasks simultaneously)
    4. Identify critical path (longest dependency chain)
    5. Suggest topology adjustments if needed

    VALIDATION CHECKPOINTS:
    - All Loop 1 tasks have agent assignments
    - No task is assigned to non-existent agent
    - Skill-based assignments reference real skills
    - Custom instructions are detailed and actionable
    - MECE compliance: no overlapping tasks, all requirements covered
    - Dependencies are acyclic (no circular deps)

    OUTPUT:
    1. Store matrix: .claude/.artifacts/agent-skill-assignments.json
    2. Memory store: npx claude-flow@alpha memory store 'agent_assignments' "$(cat .claude/.artifacts/agent-skill-assignments.json)" --namespace 'swarm/coordination'
    3. Generate execution plan summary
    4. Report: skill-based vs custom-instruction breakdown
    `,
    "hierarchical-coordinator")

Evidence-Based Techniques Applied:

• Program-of-Thought: Explicit 6-phase analysis (load → analyze → select → assign → generate → optimize)
• Meta-Reasoning: Queen reasons about which agents should use skills vs. custom instructions
• Validation Checkpoints: MECE compliance, dependency validation, assignment completeness

Queen's Decision: Skill vs. Custom Instructions

Decision Tree:

For each task:
  Does a specialized skill exist?
    YES →
      useSkill: <skill-name>
      customInstructions: Context from Loop 1 (brief)
      Benefit: Reusable SOP, proven patterns

    NO →
      useSkill: null
      customInstructions: Detailed instructions from Queen + Loop 1
      Benefit: Handles novel tasks, fully adaptive

    }
  ],
  "parallelGroups": [

Steps 2-9: Dynamic Execution from Agent+Skill Matrix

Objective: Execute implementation using agent+skill assignments from Queen's matrix.

Step 2-4: Dynamic Agent Deployment (Parallel Execution)

Agent Coordination Pattern (Parallel Groups from Matrix):

#!/bin/bash
# DYNAMIC AGENT DEPLOYMENT - Execute from Agent+Skill Matrix

# Load assignment matrix
MATRIX=".claude/.artifacts/agent-skill-assignments.json"

# For each parallel group in matrix
TOTAL_GROUPS=$(jq '.parallelGroups | length' "$MATRIX")

for GROUP_NUM in $(seq 1 $TOTAL_GROUPS); do
  echo "=== Executing Parallel Group $GROUP_NUM/$TOTAL_GROUPS ==="

  # Get tasks in this group
  TASKS=$(jq -r ".parallelGroups[$((GROUP_NUM-1))].tasks[]" "$MATRIX")

  # Spawn all agents in this group in parallel (Single Message)
  [Single Message - All Agents in Group $GROUP_NUM]:
    for TASK_ID in $TASKS; do
      # Extract task details from matrix
      AGENT=$(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .assignedAgent" "$MATRIX")
      SKILL=$(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .useSkill" "$MATRIX")

      PRIORITY=$(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .priority" "$MATRIX")

      if [ "$SKILL" != "null" ]; then
        # Option A: Agent uses specific skill
        echo "Spawning $AGENT with skill: $SKILL"
        Task("$AGENT (${TASK_ID})",
          "Execute skill: $SKILL

          Context from Loop 1:
          - Research: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .loop1_research" "$MATRIX")
          - Risk Mitigation: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .loop1_risk_mitigation" "$MATRIX")

          Specific Instructions: $INSTRUCTIONS

          Coordination:
          - Use hooks: npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task --description '$TASK_ID' && npx claude-flow@alpha hooks post-task --task-id '$TASK_ID'
          - Store progress: npx claude-flow@alpha memory store '${TASK_ID}_progress' \"<status>\" --namespace 'swarm/realtime'
          - Check dependencies complete: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .dependencies[]" "$MATRIX" | xargs)

        Task("$AGENT (${TASK_ID})",
          "Task: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .description" "$MATRIX")

          Detailed Instructions: $INSTRUCTIONS

          Context from Loop 1:
          - Load planning package: npx claude-flow@alpha memory query 'loop1_complete' --namespace 'integration/loop1-to-loop2'
          - Research findings: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .loop1_research" "$MATRIX")
          - Risk mitigations to apply: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .loop1_risk_mitigation" "$MATRIX")

          Coordination:
          - Use hooks for progress tracking
          - Store artifacts in appropriate directories
          - Update real-time memory with progress
          - Wait for dependencies if any: $(jq -r ".tasks[] | select(.taskId==\"$TASK_ID\") | .dependencies[]" "$MATRIX" | xargs)
          ",
          "$AGENT",
          { priority: "$PRIORITY", taskId: "$TASK_ID" })

  # Wait for group completion
  echo "Waiting for parallel group $GROUP_NUM to complete..."
  npx claude-flow@alpha task wait --group "$GROUP_NUM" --namespace "swarm/coordination"

  # Queen validates group completion
  Task("Queen Coordinator",
    "Validate parallel group $GROUP_NUM completion:
    1. Check all tasks in group finished successfully
    2. Verify no errors or blocks
    3. Validate inter-task dependencies satisfied

    5. Determine if next group can proceed

    If any task failed: pause execution, escalate to user, suggest recovery strategy.
    If all tasks passed: proceed to next group.",
    "hierarchical-coordinator")

  echo "✅ Parallel group $GROUP_NUM complete"
done

echo "✅ All parallel groups executed"

Evidence-Based Techniques Applied:

• Dynamic Execution: Agent spawning driven by matrix (not hardcoded)
• Skill Polymorphism: Same framework handles skill-based AND custom-instruction agents
• Hierarchical Validation: Queen validates each group before proceeding

Step 5: Theater Detection (6-Agent Consensus)

Objective: Detect and eliminate all forms of theater with multi-agent consensus.

// STEP 5: THEATER DETECTION - 6-Agent Consensus Validation

[Single Message - Parallel Theater Detection]:
  // Theater Detection Specialists (Multiple Perspectives)
  Task("Theater Detector (Code)",
    "Scan for completion theater: TODOs marked done, empty functions returning success, mock implementations in production code, hardcoded return values. Check all files created in Steps 2-4. Generate theater-code-report.json.",
    "theater-detection-audit",
    { useSkill: "theater-detection-audit" })

  Task("Theater Detector (Tests)",
    "Scan for test theater: meaningless assertions (assert true === true), tests that don't test (always pass), 100% mocks with no integration validation, missing edge cases. Generate theater-test-report.json.",
    "tester")

  Task("Theater Detector (Docs)",
    "Scan for documentation theater: docs that don't match code, copied templates without customization, placeholder text, outdated examples. Generate theater-docs-report.json.",
    "docs-writer")

  // Reality Validation Agents

    "Execute all code in isolated sandbox. Verify it actually runs. Test with realistic inputs from Loop 1 requirements. Prove functionality is genuine, not theater. Generate sandbox-validation-report.json.",
    "functionality-audit",
    { useSkill: "functionality-audit" })

  Task("Integration Reality Checker",
    "Deploy to integration sandbox. Run end-to-end flows from Loop 1 requirements. Verify database interactions. Prove system integration works. Generate integration-validation-report.json.",
    "production-validator")

  // Consensus Coordinator
  Task("Theater Consensus Coordinator",
    "Wait for all 5 detection agents. Apply Byzantine consensus: require 4/5 agreement on theater detection. Cross-validate findings: if multiple agents flag same code, confidence = high. Generate consolidated theater report with confidence scores. Zero tolerance: ANY confirmed theater blocks merge. Store in .claude/.artifacts/theater-consensus-report.json",
    "byzantine-coordinator")

// Validation Checkpoint
THEATER_COUNT=$(jq '.confirmed_theater_count' .claude/.artifacts/theater-consensus-report.json)
if [ "$THEATER_COUNT" -gt 0 ]; then
  echo "❌ Theater detected: $THEATER_COUNT instances"
  echo "Blocking merge. Review theater-consensus-report.json for details."
  exit 1
else
  echo "✅ Zero theater detected - 100% genuine implementation"
fi

Evidence-Based Techniques Applied:

• Self-Consistency: 5 independent theater detectors
• Byzantine Consensus: 4/5 agreement required (fault-tolerant)
• Multi-Level Detection: Code + Tests + Docs + Sandbox + Integration

Step 6: Integration Loop (Until 100% Working)

Objective: Iteratively integrate and test until all tests pass.

#!/bin/bash
# STEP 6: INTEGRATION LOOP - Iterate Until 100% Success

  echo "❌ Failed to achieve 100% test pass after $MAX_ITERATIONS iterations"
  echo "Escalating to Loop 3 (cicd-intelligent-recovery)"
else
  echo "✅ Integration complete: 100% tests passing in $ITERATION iterations"
fi

Steps 7-9: Documentation, Validation, Cleanup

Step 7: Documentation Updates (Auto-sync with implementation) Step 8: Test Validation (Verify tests actually test functionality) Step 9: Cleanup & Completion (Package for Loop 3)

# Step 7: Documentation
Task("Documentation Coordinator",
  "Sync all documentation with implementation:
  - Update README with new features
  - Generate API docs from code

Integration with Loop 3 (CI/CD Quality)

After Loop 2 completes, automatically transition to Loop 3:

"Execute cicd-intelligent-recovery skill using the delivery package from Loop 2.
Load implementation data from: .claude/.artifacts/loop2-delivery-package.json
Memory namespace: integration/loop2-to-loop3"

Loop 3 will:

1. Load Loop 2 delivery package and agent+skill matrix
2. Use matrix to understand implementation decisions
3. Apply intelligent fixes if CI/CD tests fail
4. Feed failure patterns back to Loop 1 for future pre-mortem

Agent Selection	Manual, ad-hoc	Dynamic from 86-agent registry
Skill Usage	Inconsistent	Adaptive (skill when available, custom otherwise)
Parallelism	Limited (1-3 devs)	High (11 parallel agents, 8.3x)
Theater Detection	None	6-agent consensus (0% tolerance)
Integration	Manual, slow	Automated loop (100% success)

Example: Complete Loop 2 Execution

Authentication System (from Loop 1)

# ===== STEP 1: QUEEN META-ANALYSIS =====
# Queen creates agent+skill assignment matrix
# Result: 8 tasks, 4 skill-based, 4 custom-instruction

# ===== STEPS 2-4: DYNAMIC DEPLOYMENT =====
# Parallel Group 1: Foundation
Task("backend-dev", "Implement JWT endpoints...", "backend-dev")

# Parallel Group 2: Quality Checks
Task("tester", "Use tdd-london-swarm skill...", "tester", {useSkill: "tdd-london-swarm"})
Task("functionality-audit", "Use functionality-audit skill...", "functionality-audit", {useSkill: "functionality-audit"})

# Parallel Group 3: Final Validation
Task("theater-detection-audit", "Use theater-detection-audit skill...", "theater-detection-audit", {useSkill: "theater-detection-audit"})

# ===== STEP 5: THEATER DETECTION =====
# 6-agent consensus: 0 theater instances detected ✅

# ===== STEP 6: INTEGRATION LOOP =====
# Iteration 1: 95% tests pass
# Iteration 2: 100% tests pass ✅

# ===== STEPS 7-9: FINALIZATION =====
# Docs updated, tests validated, package created ✅

# ===== RESULT =====
echo "✅ Loop 2 Complete"
echo "   Agent+Skill Matrix: 8 tasks (4 skill-based, 4 custom)"
echo "   Theater: 0% detected"
echo "   Tests: 100% passing (92% coverage)"
echo "   Ready for Loop 3"

Troubleshooting

Queen Can't Find Appropriate Skill

Symptom: Task assigned to agent with useSkill: null when skill might exist Diagnosis: Queen's skill registry incomplete Fix:

# Update Queen's skill registry
jq '.available_skills += ["new-skill-name"]' \
  .claude/.artifacts/skill-registry.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json .claude/.artifacts/skill-registry.json

# Re-run Queen analysis
Task("Queen Coordinator", "Re-analyze with updated skill registry...", "hierarchical-coordinator")

Theater Detection False Positive

Symptom: Valid code flagged as theater Diagnosis: Need higher consensus threshold Fix:

# Require 5/5 agreement (stricter) instead of 4/5
# Update Byzantine consensus threshold in Step 5

Integration Loop Not Converging

Symptom: Tests still failing after multiple iterations Diagnosis: Fundamental implementation issue, not fixable in loop Fix:

# Escalate to Loop 3
echo "⚠️ Integration loop failed to converge"
echo "Transitioning to Loop 3 (cicd-intelligent-recovery) for deep analysis"
# Loop 3 will apply Gemini + 7-agent analysis + graph-based root cause

Success Criteria

Loop 2 is successful when:

• ✅ Queen successfully creates agent+skill assignment matrix
• ✅ All tasks in matrix have valid agent assignments
• ✅ Agent+skill selections are optimal for project type
• ✅ Theater detection confirms 0% theater
• ✅ Sandbox validation proves code actually works
• ✅ Integration loop achieves 100% test pass rate
• ✅ Test coverage ≥90%
• ✅ Delivery package successfully loads in Loop 3

Validation Command:

jq '{
  tasks: .agent_skill_matrix.statistics.totalTasks,
  theater: .implementation.theater_detected,
  tests: .quality_metrics.integration_test_pass_rate,
  coverage: .implementation.tests_coverage,
  ready: .integrationPoints.feedsTo == "cicd-intelligent-recovery"
}' .claude/.artifacts/loop2-delivery-package.json
