coordinate

通过双向 TMUX 通信，协调多个 AMP 代理。适用于数小时的自主运行，其中包含相互独立的并行任务。但不适用于审查法庭，也不适合用于生成意见以达成共识。

description: "orchestrate multiple amp agents with bidirectional tmux communication. use for multi-hour autonomous runs with INDEPENDENT parallel tasks. NOT for review courts or generating opinions to reconcile."

coordinate

orchestrate multiple amp agents. you are the coordinator — agents report to you, you delegate and unblock.

when NOT to use

before coordinating multiple agents, ask:

  1. •is there a single source of truth? if verifiable against one file/spec/query, do it yourself.
  2. •will agents produce conflicting findings? if task is evaluative (judging claims), a single careful pass is cleaner than reconciling disagreements.
  3. •do i have explicit exit criteria? multi-agent work without convergence criteria produces unbounded reconciliation work.

coordinate is for parallelizing INDEPENDENT work. don't spawn review courts when you can read the code yourself.

spawn

use the spawn skill:

bash
AGENT=$(../spawn/scripts/spawn-amp "<task>")

messaging

agent → coordinator (via pane id from spawn instructions):

bash
tmux send-keys -t %5 'AGENT $NAME: <message>' C-m

coordinator → agent:

bash
tmux send-keys -t $AGENT "COORDINATOR: <instruction>" C-m

direct send-keys is preferred. slash commands (like /queue) are unreliable over tmux — timing issues cause messages to be cut off or missed.

monitoring

bash
tmux capture-pane -p -t $AGENT | tail -30

ALWAYS capture before any disruptive action (messaging, killing). never act blind.

control

bash
tmux list-windows -F '#W'    # list agents
tmux kill-window -t $AGENT   # cleanup (observe first)

pitfalls

  • •slash commands unreliable over tmux — use direct messages instead
  • •permission prompts require arrow keys + enter. ask user to handle manually
  • •agents can't run sudo with password. have user run, then verify
  • •send-keys -t name targets window name (agents), -t %4 targets pane id (coordinator callback)
