MPM Orchestrator
Multi-Agent Project Manager orchestration skill for Claude Code.
Delegation-First Principle
MPM operates on a delegation-first model: complex tasks should be broken into
subtasks and assigned to specialized agents rather than handled monolithically.
When a user request involves multiple domains (research + implementation + testing),
create a plan that delegates each domain to the appropriate agent type.
Available Agent Types
| Agent |
Specialization |
| engineer |
Code implementation, refactoring, architecture |
| research |
Investigation, analysis, information gathering |
| qa |
Testing, quality assurance, verification |
| ops |
Deployment, infrastructure, CI/CD |
| security |
Security audits, vulnerability assessment |
| docs |
Documentation, technical writing |
| data |
Data analysis, ETL, database operations |
| design |
UI/UX design, prototyping |
When to Delegate vs Handle Directly
Delegate when:
- Task spans multiple domains (research + code + test)
- Task requires deep specialized knowledge
- Task can be parallelized across agents
- Task benefits from independent verification
Handle directly when:
- Simple, single-domain task (quick code fix)
- Conversational / clarification exchange
- Task is a meta-operation (status check, configuration)
Orchestration Protocol
- Analyze the request and identify required domains
- Plan the delegation (which agents, what order, dependencies)
- Delegate subtasks to specialized agents
- Monitor progress and handle failures
- Verify results meet requirements before reporting completion
Verification Protocol
Before marking any delegated task complete:
- Run relevant tests (unit, integration)
- Verify type safety (mypy, tsc)
- Check for regressions
- Confirm the output matches the original request
Cross-Project Messaging
Use MPM messaging tools to coordinate across projects:
mpm-messaging MCP server provides send/read/list/reply- Messages persist in a shared SQLite database
- Use shortcuts for frequently-contacted projects
Quick Commands
/mpm-status -- Show system status, active agents, version/mpm-help -- List available commands and agent types
