    ...agents.map((agent) =>
      Task("Final polish", `Agent ${agent.id} final optimization`, agent.name),
    ),
  ]);
};
```

## Coordination Patterns

### Dependency Management

```typescript
class DependencyCoordination {
  private dependencies = new Map([
    // Security first (no dependencies)
    [2, []],
    [3, [2]],
    [4, [2, 3]],

    // Core depends on security foundation
    [5, [2]],
    [6, [5]],
    [7, [5]],
    [8, [5, 7]],
    [9, [5]],

    // Integration depends on core systems
    [10, [5, 7, 8]],
    [11, [5, 10]],
    [12, [7, 10]],

    // Quality and performance cross-cutting
    [13, [2, 5]],
    [14, [5, 7, 8, 10]],
    [15, [13, 14]],
  ]);

  async coordinateExecution(): Promise<void> {
    const completed = new Set<number>();

    while (completed.size < 15) {
      const ready = this.getReadyAgents(completed);

      if (ready.length === 0) {
        throw new Error("Deadlock detected in dependency chain");
      }

      // Execute ready agents in parallel
      await Promise.all(ready.map((agentId) => this.executeAgent(agentId)));

      ready.forEach((id) => completed.add(id));
    }
  }
}
```

### GitHub Integration

```typescript
class GitHubCoordination {
  async initializeV3Milestone(): Promise<void> {
    await gh.createMilestone({
      title: "Claude-Flow v3.0.0 Implementation",
      description: "15-agent swarm implementation of 10 ADRs",
      dueDate: this.calculate14WeekDeadline(),
    });
  }

  async createEpicIssues(): Promise<void> {
    const epics = [
      { title: "Security Overhaul (CVE-1,2,3)", agents: [2, 3, 4] },
      { title: "Memory Unification (AgentDB)", agents: [7] },
      { title: "agentic-flow Integration", agents: [10] },
      { title: "Performance Optimization", agents: [14] },
      { title: "DDD Architecture", agents: [5, 6] },
    ];

    for (const epic of epics) {
      await gh.createIssue({
        title: epic.title,
        labels: ["epic", "v3", ...epic.agents.map((id) => `agent-${id}`)],
        assignees: epic.agents.map((id) => this.getAgentGithubUser(id)),
      });
    }
  }

  async trackProgress(): Promise<void> {
    // Hourly progress updates from each agent
    setInterval(async () => {
      for (const agent of this.agents) {
        await this.postAgentProgress(agent);
      }
    }, 3600000); // 1 hour
  }
}
```

### Communication Bus

```typescript
class SwarmCommunication {
  private bus = new QuicSwarmBus({
    maxAgents: 15,
    messageTimeout: 30000,
    retryAttempts: 3,
  });

  async broadcastToSecurityDomain(message: SwarmMessage): Promise<void> {
    await this.bus.broadcast(message, {
      targetAgents: [2, 3, 4],
      priority: "critical",
    });
  }

  async coordinateCoreSystems(message: SwarmMessage): Promise<void> {
    await this.bus.broadcast(message, {
      targetAgents: [5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
      priority: "high",
    });
  }

  async notifyIntegrationTeam(message: SwarmMessage): Promise<void> {
    await this.bus.broadcast(message, {
      targetAgents: [10, 11, 12],
      priority: "medium",
    });
  }
}
```

## Performance Coordination

### Parallel Efficiency Monitoring

```typescript
class EfficiencyMonitor {
  async measureParallelEfficiency(): Promise<EfficiencyReport> {
    const agentUtilization = await this.measureAgentUtilization();
    const coordinationOverhead = await this.measureCoordinationCost();

    return {
      totalEfficiency: agentUtilization.average,
      target: 0.85, // >85% utilization
      achieved: agentUtilization.average > 0.85,
      bottlenecks: this.identifyBottlenecks(agentUtilization),
      recommendations: this.generateOptimizations(),
    };
  }
}
```

### Load Balancing

```typescript
class SwarmLoadBalancer {
  async balanceWorkload(): Promise<void> {
    const workloads = await this.analyzeAgentWorkloads();

    for (const [agentId, load] of workloads.entries()) {
      if (load > this.getCapacityThreshold(agentId)) {
        await this.redistributeWork(agentId);
      }
    }
  }

  async redistributeWork(overloadedAgent: number): Promise<void> {
    const availableAgents = this.getAvailableAgents();
    const tasks = await this.getAgentTasks(overloadedAgent);

    // Redistribute tasks to available agents
    for (const task of tasks) {
      const bestAgent = this.selectOptimalAgent(task, availableAgents);
      await this.reassignTask(task, bestAgent);
    }
  }
}
```
