Swarm Advanced

This is for when you need multiple Claude instances working together on something complex. You get four swarm topologies (mesh for research, hierarchical for dev workflows, star for testing, ring for pipelines) and can spawn specialized agents like researchers, coders, and QA engineers. The documentation walks through three real patterns: a research swarm that does parallel info gathering then synthesizes findings, a development swarm with a full team hierarchy, and presumably a testing pattern. It's built on claude-flow with both MCP tools and CLI fallbacks. Honestly feels like overkill for most projects, but if you're doing deep research synthesis or coordinating multi-stage development across different specializations, this gives you the primitives to orchestrate it without reinventing the coordination layer.
