EnhanceSwarm ๐
Production-ready intelligent multi-agent orchestration for Claude with real dev team coordination.
EnhanceSwarm transforms Claude into a sophisticated development team that works like real developers - with specialized agents for Backend, Frontend, QA, and Integration that collaborate intelligently with minimal overlap.
โจ What Makes EnhanceSwarm Different
- ๐ง Intelligent Orchestration: Control agent delegates tasks to specialized agents like a real project manager
- ๐ค Real Claude CLI Integration: Spawns authentic Claude agents using your local Claude CLI
- ๐ฅ Dev Team Simulation: Backend โ Frontend โ QA โ Integration workflow with smart handoffs
- ๐ฏ Zero Overlap: Agents work on specialized tasks with dependency-aware coordination
- ๐ Smart Defaults: Auto-detects project type and creates optimal team coordination
- ๐ก๏ธ Production Ready: Enterprise security, resource management, and comprehensive testing
๐ Quick Start
Installation
gem install enhance_swarm
# Version 2.1.0+ required for critical fixes and detached mode
Initialize in Your Project
cd your_project
enhance-swarm init
Run Intelligent Multi-Agent Development
Recommended: Detached Mode (Non-blocking)
# Start orchestration in background - returns immediately
enhance-swarm orchestrate "Create a Contact management system with CRUD operations" --detached
# Monitor progress
enhance-swarm status
# Check logs
tail -f .enhance_swarm/logs/orchestration.log
Alternative: Interactive Mode
# Or use the enhanced ENHANCE protocol (interactive)
enhance-swarm enhance
# Then enter: "Build a todo management system with real-time updates"
# Standard orchestration (blocking)
enhance-swarm orchestrate "Add user authentication with email verification"
๐ฏ How It Works
Intelligent Task Delegation
- Control Agent analyzes your request and project context
- Task Decomposition breaks complex features into specialized subtasks
- Smart Coordination assigns tasks to specialist agents with dependencies
- Quality Assurance QA agent reviews each implementation
- Integration Lead agent merges everything seamlessly
Agent Specialization
Agent | Role | Responsibilities |
---|---|---|
Backend | API & Logic Developer | Models, APIs, business logic, database design |
Frontend | UI/UX Developer | Components, styling, user experience, interactions |
QA | Quality Engineer | Testing, validation, security, edge cases |
Integration | Tech Lead | Merging, refining, final polish, deployment prep |
Smart Coordination Example
enhance-swarm orchestrate "Add contact management to the app"
Behind the scenes:
- ๐ฏ Control agent creates specialized subtasks
- ๐ง Backend agent: Creates Contact model, API endpoints, validations
- ๐จ Frontend agent: Builds contact forms, list views, search functionality
- ๐งช QA agent: Creates comprehensive test suites for all features
- ๐ Integration agent: Merges everything, resolves conflicts, final polish

Task: "Create a comprehensive Contact management system with name, email, phone, company fields, and full CRUD operations with proper validation and testing"
What EnhanceSwarm Creates:
๐ Generated Files (14 files, 304 insertions):
โโโ app/models/contact.rb # Model with validations
โโโ app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb # Full CRUD controller
โโโ app/views/contacts/
โ โโโ index.html.erb # List all contacts
โ โโโ show.html.erb # View contact details
โ โโโ new.html.erb # Create new contact
โ โโโ edit.html.erb # Edit existing contact
โ โโโ _form.html.erb # Shared form partial
โโโ db/migrate/create_contacts.rb # Database migration
โโโ config/routes.rb # Updated routes
โโโ .enhance_swarm/logs/ # Orchestration logs
Multi-Agent Workflow:
- Backend Agent: Creates Contact model with validations, database migration
- Frontend Agent: Builds complete view set with Tailwind CSS responsive design
- Integration Agent: Updates routes, ensures everything works together
- Auto-commit: All changes committed to git with proper message
๐จ Styling Framework:
- Bullet Train Projects: Tailwind CSS (default) - modern utility-first framework
- Regular Rails Projects: Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS based on project setup
Total Time: ~2 minutes (background execution)
