multi-agent-patterns from fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

This skill should be used when designing multi-agent systems that need context isolation, supervisor or swarm coordination, explicit handoffs, parallel execution, or a decision on whether multiple agents are justified.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Multi-Agent Architecture Patterns Multi-agent architectures distribute work across multiple language model instances, each with its own context window. When designed well, this distribution enables capabilities beyond single-agent limits. When designed poorly, it introduces coordination overhead that negates benefits. The critical insight is that sub-agents exist primarily to isolate context, not to anthropomorphize role division. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when: - Single-agent context limits constrain task complexity - Tasks decompose naturally into parallel subtasks - Different subtasks require different tool sets or system prompts - Building systems that must handle multiple domains simultaneously - Scaling agent capabilities beyond single-context limits - Designing production agent systems with multiple specialized components Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills: - Deciding task-model fit, pipeline shape, or project-level cost before topology is known: `project-development`. - Designing hosted sandboxes, warm pools, remote sessions, or background runtime infrastructure: `hosted-agents`. …

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/multi-agent-patterns@sha256:321802c10029bfb7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
