crewai-multi-agent
Multi-agent orchestration framework for autonomous AI collaboration. Use when building teams of specialized agents working together on complex tasks, when you need role-based agent collaboration with memory, or for production workflows requiring sequential/hierarchical execution. Built without LangChain dependencies for lean, fast execution.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# CrewAI - Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework Build teams of autonomous AI agents that collaborate to solve complex tasks. ## When to use CrewAI **Use CrewAI when:** - Building multi-agent systems with specialized roles - Need autonomous collaboration between agents - Want role-based task delegation (researcher, writer, analyst) - Require sequential or hierarchical process execution - Building production workflows with memory and observability - Need simpler setup than LangChain/LangGraph **Key features:** - **Standalone**: No LangChain dependencies, lean footprint - **Role-based**: Agents have roles, goals, and backstories - **Dual paradigm**: Crews (autonomous) + Flows (event-driven) - **50+ tools**: Web scraping, search, databases, AI services - **Memory**: Short-term, long-term, and entity memory - **Production-ready**: Tracing, enterprise features **Use alternatives instead:** - **LangChain**: General-purpose LLM apps, RAG pipelines - **LangGraph**: Complex stateful workflows with cycles - **AutoGen**: Microsoft ecosystem, multi-agent conversations - **LlamaIndex**: Document Q&A, knowledge retrieval ## Quick start ### Installation ```bash # Core framework pip install crewai #

What does the crewai-multi-agent skill do?
Multi-agent orchestration framework for autonomous AI collaboration. Use when building teams of specialized agents working together on complex tasks, when you need role-based agent collaboration with memory, or for production workflows requiring sequential/hierarchical execution. Built without LangChain dependencies for lean, fast execution.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill crewai --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs, a repository with 11,391 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
