Dynamic Agent Swarms

Multi-agent architecture where agents are assembled, delegated to, and sometimes created or retired dynamically as work requires.

Key points

Google Cloud describes a future phase where agents operate as swarms or teams rather than single static agents ^[src-043].
In the legacy-code modernization example, some agents analyze code, some propose modernization paths, an architecture agent designs options, and tester agents may be spun up temporarily ^[src-043].
Ephemeral worker agents can appear to perform a specific task and disappear when their work is complete ^[src-043].
Dynamic swarms raise governance requirements because agent identities, authority, handoffs, and costs become more fluid ^[src-043].
Scion is shown as an experimental harness for validating dynamic multi-agent teams before production governance is added ^[src-043].
