orchestrating-agent-relay is agent-read markdown (skill) from agentworkforce/relay: The canonical way to run agent-relay - self-bootstrap the local broker and autonomously spawn, monitor, and coordinate a team of worker agents without human intervention. Covers infrastructure startup, agent spawning, lifecycle monitoring, message-based reading via the relay MCP, and team coordination..

What the file says

# Orchestrating Agent Relay

Self-bootstrap agent-relay infrastructure and manage a team of agents autonomously.

## Overview

A headless orchestrator is an agent that:

1. Starts the local relay broker itself (`agent-relay node up`)
2. Spawns and manages worker agents on that broker
3. Monitors agent lifecycle events
4. Coordinates work without human intervention

The orchestrator drives the team and reads/sends/lists through the **Agent
Relay MCP server** (`agent-relay mcp`). The session registers itself once with
the `register_agent` tool (name it `orchestrator`) — every messaging tool
errors with `Not registered. Call the "register_agent" tool first.` until it
does. Lifecycle
control — starting the broker, spawning/releasing local agents, streaming
broker debug events — goes through the `agent-relay node` command group. The
workers it spawns are registered participants too; their peer-messaging
reference is the **`using-agent-relay`** skill.

## The model

- Agent Relay delivers messages **node-only**: every agent is owned by a node,
  and the engine routes that agent's messages to its node reliably (ordered,
