Using Multiple Agents

For complex projects, consider using multiple agents in sequence:

Example: New Feature Development

1. Alex (Business Analyst)
   ↓ Creates PRD with requirements and acceptance criteria

2. Dev (Developer Agent)
   ↓ Builds API, UI, and database schema

3. Tina (Test Agent)
   ↓ Creates test cases and automation scripts

4. Sam (Security Agent)
   ↓ Scans code for vulnerabilities

5. Riley (Release Agent)
   ↓ Sets up CI/CD pipeline for deployment

6. Simon (SRE Agent)
   ↓ Monitors system health post-deployment

Example: Compliance Project

1. Oscar (Operations Analyst)
   ↓ Analyzes current processes and identifies gaps

2. Audrey (Audit Agent)
   ↓ Ensures regulatory compliance and generates audit report

3. Dev (Developer Agent)
   ↓ Implements required technical changes

4. Sam (Security Agent)
   ↓ Validates security controls

Tips for Multi-Agent Workflows

1. Start with requirements — Use Alex (Business Analyst) to define clear requirements
2. Build and test — Developers build, then QA tests
3. Security review — Always include security scanning before deployment
4. Automate deployment — Use Riley to set up reliable CI/CD
5. Monitor post-deployment — Simon ensures ongoing system health
6. Share context — Keep all agents working from the same connected folder
7. Review between handoffs — Check output before passing to next agent
