Overview

A swarm recruits subagents, gives them names or roles, and assigns distinct responsibilities. In the website example, one subagent was assigned keyword research, other agents wrote posts, and another agent handled design work. The interface exposed each subagent's progress, allowed the operator to inspect individual work, and provided controls to stop or hide agents.

The important design choice is task separation. A subagent should have a clear, bounded responsibility. The keyword research agent had one task: produce the keywords needed for the planned website. Other agents focused on separate content or design responsibilities.

The primary workflow remains responsible for the overall objective. Specialized outputs are useful only when they contribute to the shared deliverable.
