Command definition
development.mdDevelopment Swarm Strategy
Purpose
Coordinated development through specialized agent teams.
Activation
Using MCP Tools
// Initialize development swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
"topology": "hierarchical",
"maxAgents": 8,
"strategy": "balanced"
})
// Orchestrate development task
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
"task": "build feature X",
"strategy": "parallel",
"priority": "high"
})Using CLI (Fallback)
`npx claude-flow swarm "build feature X" --strategy development`
Agent Roles
Agent Spawning with MCP
// Spawn development agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
"type": "architect",
"name": "System Designer",
"capabilities": ["system-design", "api-design"]
})
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
"type": "coder",
"name": "Frontend Developer",
"capabilities": ["react", "typescript", "ui"]
})
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
"type": "coder",
"name": "Backend Developer",
"capabilities": ["nodejs", "api", "database"]
})
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
"type": "specialist",
"name": "Database Expert",
"capabilities": ["sql", "nosql", "optimization"]
})
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({
"type": "tester",
"name": "Integration Tester",
"capabilities": ["integration", "e2e", "api-testing"]
})Best Practices
- Use hierarchical mode for large projects
- Enable parallel execution
- Implement continuous testing
- Monitor swarm health regularly
Status Monitoring
// Check swarm status
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_status({
"swarmId": "development-swarm"
})
// Monitor agent performance
mcp__claude-flow__agent_metrics({
"agentId": "architect-001"
})
// Real-time monitoring
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_monitor({
"swarmId": "development-swarm",
"interval": 5000
})Error Handling
// Enable fault tolerance

"agentId": "all",
"strategy": "auto-recovery"
