      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);
    }
  }
}
```
