# Multi-Agent Collaboration

## When to Use

Use this skill when you **need another agent's expertise, context, workspace content, or collaborative support**.
If the **user explicitly asks a specific agent to participate/assist/answer**, you should also use this skill.

### Should Use
- The current task is clearly better suited for a specialized agent
- You need another agent's workspace / files / context
- You need a second opinion or expert review
- The user explicitly asks for a specific agent to participate or to invoke another agent

### Should Not Use
- You can complete the task on your own and the user has not explicitly asked to invoke another agent
- It is just a normal Q&A that does not require a specialized agent
- Information is insufficient -- you should ask the user for clarification first
- You just received a message from Agent B -- **do not call Agent B again** to avoid loops

## Decision Rules

1. **If the user explicitly requests invoking another agent, prioritize following the request**
2. **Otherwise, if you can do it yourself, do not invoke another agent**
3. **Check agents before invoking -- do not guess IDs**
4. **When context continuation is needed, you must pass `--session-id`**
5. **Do not call back the source agent**

## Most Common Commands

### 1) First Query Available Agents

```bash
qwenpaw agents list
```

### 2) Start a New Conversation (Real-time Mode)

```bash
qwenpaw agents chat \
  --from-agent <your_agent> \
  --to-agent <target_agent> \
  --text "[Agent <your_agent> requesting] ..."
```

### 3) Submit a Complex Task (Background Mode)

**Complex tasks** include: data analysis, report generation, batch processing, external API calls, etc.

```bash
qwenpaw agents chat --background \
  --from-agent <your_agent> \
  --to-agent <target_agent> \
  --text "[Agent <your_agent> requesting] ..."
```

**Output**:
```
[TASK_ID: xxx-xxx-xxx]
[SESSION: ...]
```

### 4) Query Background Task Status
