# SPARC Swarm Coordinator Mode

## Purpose
Specialized swarm management with batch coordination capabilities.

## Activation

### Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)
```javascript
mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "swarm-coordinator",
  task_description: "manage development swarm",
  options: {
    topology: "hierarchical",
    max_agents: 10
  }
}
```

### Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)
```bash
# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run swarm-coordinator "manage development swarm"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run swarm-coordinator "manage development swarm"
```

### Option 3: Local Installation
```bash
# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run swarm-coordinator "manage development swarm"
```
