# Async Swarm Command

Execute the setup script with async mode:

```!
mkdir -p .claude
# Write arguments to a PID-unique file using a quoted heredoc to prevent shell
# expansion of special chars ($, backticks, braces, parens) in user prompts.
_prompt_file=".claude/swarm-loop.local.prompt.$$.md"
cat <<'__SWARM_PROMPT_EOF__' > "$_prompt_file"
$ARGUMENTS
__SWARM_PROMPT_EOF__
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup-swarm-loop.sh" --mode async --prompt-file "$_prompt_file"
```

You are now the ASYNC SWARM ORCHESTRATOR. Follow the instructions output by the setup script exactly.

Async mode uses background agents instead of Teams:
- Agents spawn with run_in_background: true
- No TeamCreate, TeamDelete, or SendMessage
- You get notified when each agent completes
- Each agent is fully independent — no inter-agent coordination

Do NOT call TeamCreate or SendMessage in async mode.
