Multi-Agent Coordination & Task Routing Protocol — SKILL.md for Agent Orchestration
$0.03 / access
SKILL.md protocol
The multi-agent-coordination-skill is a structured SKILL.md behavioral protocol for orchestrating multi-agent systems. It defines how a supervisor agent decomposes tasks, routes subtasks to specialist agents, aggregates results, resolves conflicts, and recovers from coordination failures — without human intervention. Per-access via x402 micropayments.
The orchestration layer for multi-agent systems: As agent pipelines grow from single agents to networks of specialists, coordination becomes the bottleneck. This protocol defines the routing logic, handoff contracts, and failure recovery patterns that keep multi-agent systems coherent under load.
Protocol Overview
| Phase | What It Covers |
|---|
| Task Decomposition | Goal breakdown into atomic subtasks, dependency mapping, parallelism identification, priority ordering |
| Agent Routing | Capability-based routing, load-aware assignment, agent selection criteria, routing confidence thresholds |
| Result Aggregation | Partial result merging, consistency checks, conflict detection, aggregation quality scoring |
| Conflict Resolution | Result divergence handling, arbitration patterns, escalation to human review, resolution audit trail |
| Failure Recovery | Timeout handling, agent failure fallbacks, partial completion recovery, retry backoff strategy |
Protocol Excerpt
# Multi-Agent Coordination & Task Routing Protocol
## Activation
When operating as a supervisor agent coordinating specialist sub-agents,
or when designing a multi-agent pipeline, activate this protocol.
## Phase 1: Task Decomposition
### 1.1 Goal Analysis
- Parse the top-level goal into atomic, independently-executable subtasks
- Identify sequential dependencies (task B requires output of task A)
- Identify parallelizable subtask clusters (no dependency between them)

Use Cases
- Orchestration layers — supervisor agents that delegate to specialists load this protocol to standardize routing and aggregation logic
- Pipeline coordination — agent pipelines where multiple specialists handle different stages; this protocol defines the handoff contracts between stages
- Supervisor agents — agents that manage other agents in hierarchical systems; failure recovery and conflict resolution are critical in this role
- QA for multi-agent output — pairs with agent-testing-eval-skill to validate that multi-agent outputs meet quality thresholds before delivery
