# Coordinator Mode ## When to Use Multi-Agent Coordination Use coordinator patterns when: - A task has independent research + implementation phases - Multiple file areas can be worked on in parallel - Verification should run alongside implementation - You need to synthesize findings before directing follow-up work Don't use coordinator patterns when: - The task is small enough for one session - Steps are strictly sequential with no parallelism - The overhead of coordination exceeds the work itself ## Phase-Based Workflow Most coordinated tasks follow four phases: | Phase | Who | Purpose | | -------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Research | Workers (parallel) | Investigate codebase, find files, understand problem | | Synthesis | **You** (coordinator) | Read findings, understand the problem, craft implementation specs | | Implementation | Workers | Make targeted changes per spec, commit | | Verification | Workers | Test changes work, try to break them | The synthesis phase is the coordinator's most important job. When workers report research findings, **you must understand them before directing follow-up work**. Read the findings. Identify the approach. Then write a prompt that proves you understood by i
