      "options": {}
    }
  }

• skill-b - How it relates

### 2.2 Progressive Disclosure Pattern

**Three Levels:**

1. **Level 1 - Metadata (Always Loaded):**
   - Name and description in YAML frontmatter
   - Loaded into system prompt at startup
   - Enables Claude to know when to activate skill

2. **Level 2 - SKILL.md Body (Loaded on Activation):**
   - Core instructions and examples
   - Main usage patterns
   - Basic configuration

3. **Level 3 - Additional Files (Loaded as Needed):**
   - `reference.md` - Detailed API reference
   - `examples.md` - Comprehensive examples
   - `advanced.md` - Advanced usage patterns
   - `troubleshooting.md` - Common issues

**Example Structure:**

.claude/skills/api-testing/ ├── SKILL.md # Level 1-2: Metadata + core instructions ├── reference.md # Level 3: API reference ├── examples/ │ ├── rest-api.md # Level 3: REST examples │ ├── graphql.md # Level 3: GraphQL examples │ └── websocket.md # Level 3: WebSocket examples └── advanced/ ├── performance.md # Level 3: Performance testing ├── security.md # Level 3: Security testing └── chaos.md # Level 3: Chaos testing

### 2.3 Natural Language Activation

**Design Principles:**

1. **Trigger Words in Description:**
   ```yaml
   description: "Comprehensive API testing with REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket support. Use when testing APIs, validating endpoints, checking response schemas, or implementing contract testing."

2. Broad Coverage:

   • Include synonyms and related terms
   • Cover multiple use cases
   • Think about user intent

3. Context Awareness:

   • File type triggers (e.g., *.test.ts activates testing skills)
   • Project structure triggers (e.g., package.json with jest activates jest skills)
   • Conversation context (e.g., user mentions "API" activates API skills)

2.4 Composability Pattern

Skill References:

# API Testing Skill

## Integration with Other Skills

This skill works seamlessly with:
- `tdd-london-chicago` - For test-first development
- `verification-quality` - For truth scoring and quality verification
- `performance-analysis` - For load testing and benchmarking

### Example Workflow

1. Use `tdd-london-chicago` to write failing tests
2. Use `api-testing` to implement endpoint tests
3. Use `verification-quality` to verify test quality
4. Use `performance-analysis` to benchmark endpoints

Automatic Activation:

When working on API tests, Claude automatically:
1. Activates `api-testing` skill (primary)
2. Loads `tdd-london-chicago` if tests are being written
3. Loads `verification-quality` if quality checks are mentioned
4. Loads `performance-analysis` if performance is mentioned

2.5 Self-Contained Context

Pattern:

• Each skill should be independently usable
• No assumptions about other skills being active
• Provide complete context within the skill

Example:

# GitHub Code Review Skill

## Overview
This skill provides AI-powered code review capabilities using swarm coordination.

## Dependencies
- **MCP Tools**: `github_pr_manage`, `github_code_review`
- **Skills**: `swarm-orchestration` (optional, for multi-agent review)

## Usage Without Dependencies
```bash
# Basic review (no swarm)
npx claude-flow github-review --pr 123

Usage With Swarm

# Multi-agent review (requires swarm-orchestration)
npx claude-flow github-review --pr 123 --swarm true

---

## 3. Agent Coordination Improvements

### 3.1 Parallel Execution Mandate

**Golden Rule:** "1 MESSAGE = ALL RELATED OPERATIONS"

**Mandatory Patterns:**

```javascript
// ✅ CORRECT: All operations in single message
[Single Message]:
  // 1. Batch all todos
  TodoWrite { todos: [
    {id: "1", content: "Research API patterns", status: "in_progress"},
    {id: "2", content: "Design database schema", status: "in_progress"},
    {id: "3", content: "Implement authentication", status: "pending"},
    {id: "4", content: "Build REST endpoints", status: "pending"},
    {id: "5", content: "Write unit tests", status: "pending"},
    {id: "6", content: "Integration tests", status: "pending"},
    {id: "7", content: "API documentation", status: "pending"},
    {id: "8", content: "Performance optimization", status: "pending"}
  ]}

  // 2. Spawn all agents concurrently via Claude Code Task tool
  Task("Research agent", "Analyze API requirements...", "researcher")
  Task("Coder agent", "Implement REST endpoints...", "coder")
  Task("Database agent", "Design schema...", "code-analyzer")
  Task("Tester agent", "Create test suite...", "tester")
  Task("Reviewer agent", "Review code quality...", "reviewer")

  // 3. Batch all file operations
  Bash "mkdir -p app/{src,tests,docs,config}"
  Write "app/package.json"
  Write "app/src/server.ts"
  Write "app/tests/server.test.ts"
  Write "app/docs/API.md"

  // 4. Batch all memory operations
  mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
    action: "store",
    key: "swarm/researcher/status",
    value: JSON.stringify({...})
  }
  mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
    action: "store",
    key: "swarm/coder/status",
    value: JSON.stringify({...})
  }

// ❌ WRONG: Multiple messages
Message 1: TodoWrite { todos: [single todo] }
Message 2: Task("agent 1")
Message 3: Write "file.js"
// This breaks parallel coordination!

3.2 Agent Coordination Protocol

Every Agent MUST Execute:

1️⃣ BEFORE Work:

# Restore session context
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks session-restore \
  --session-id "swarm-12345"

# Initialize task tracking
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task \
  --description "Implement API endpoint" \
  --priority "high"

2️⃣ DURING Work:

# Store progress after each operation
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks post-edit \
  --file "src/api/endpoint.ts" \
  --memory-key "swarm/coder/implement-endpoint"

# Notify other agents
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks notify \
  --message "Completed endpoint implementation"

3️⃣ AFTER Work:

# Finalize task
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks post-task \
  --task-id "task-123"

# End session with metrics
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks session-end \
  --export-metrics true

3.3 Memory Coordination Pattern

Structured Keys:

swarm-{id}/
├── shared/
│   ├── decisions/          # Architectural decisions
│   ├── patterns/           # Identified patterns
│   ├── findings/           # Research findings
│   └── status/             # Overall status
├── agent-{name}/
│   ├── current-task/       # Current task details
│   ├── progress/           # Progress updates
│   ├── results/            # Completed results
│   └── metrics/            # Performance metrics
└── coordination/
    ├── dependencies/       # Task dependencies
    ├── conflicts/          # Detected conflicts
    └── handoffs/           # Agent handoffs

Usage Example:

// Researcher stores findings
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "swarm-001/shared/findings/api-patterns",
  namespace: "coordination",
  value: JSON.stringify({
    patterns: ["MVC", "Repository", "Factory"],
    recommendations: ["Use Repository pattern for data access"]
  }),
  ttl: 86400
}

// Coder reads findings
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "retrieve",
  key: "swarm-001/shared/findings/api-patterns",
  namespace: "coordination"
}

// Tester searches for patterns
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search {
  pattern: "swarm-001/shared/*",
  namespace: "coordination",
  limit: 10
}

3.4 Dynamic Agent Allocation

Complexity-Based Allocation:

// Simple task (3-4 agents)
Task complexity: low
Agents: [researcher, coder, tester]

// Medium task (5-7 agents)
Task complexity: medium
Agents: [researcher, planner, coder, tester, reviewer, documenter]

// Complex task (8-12 agents)
Task complexity: high
Agents: [
  researcher, planner, system-architect,
  backend-dev, frontend-dev, database-specialist,
  tester, performance-tester, security-auditor,
  reviewer, documenter, devops-engineer
]

Auto-Spawning Pattern:

// Hooks automatically spawn agents based on task complexity
{
  "hooks": {
    "agents": {
      "autoSpawn": true,
      "complexityAnalysis": {
        "keywords": {
          "simple": ["fix", "update", "change"],
          "medium": ["implement", "create", "build"],
          "complex": ["design", "architect", "migrate", "refactor"]
        },
        "fileCount": {
          "simple": "< 3",
          "medium": "3-10",
          "complex": "> 10"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

// Orchestrate parallel execution
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
  task: "Execute all test suites",
  strategy: "parallel",
  priority: "high",
  maxAgents: 5
}

Expected Benefits:

• 2.8-4.4x faster test execution
• 32.3% reduction in execution time
• Parallel coverage of multiple test types

4. Agent Booster for Fast Test Generation

Use Case: Rapidly generate test cases without API costs

npx claude-flow@alpha agent-booster edit \
  --file "tests/api.test.ts" \
  --instruction "Add test cases for error handling" \
  --code-edit "
describe('Error Handling', () => {
  test('returns 400 for invalid input', async () => {
    // ... test implementation ...
  });

  test('returns 401 for unauthorized access', async () => {
    // ... test implementation ...
  });
});
"

# Batch generate tests for multiple files
npx claude-flow@alpha agent-booster batch-edit \
  --edits "$(cat test-generation-plan.json)"

Expected Benefits:

• $0 cost (local execution)
• 46% faster test generation
• 88% success rate in test creation

5. Verification-Quality Skill for Truth Scoring
