## 🚀 Usage Examples

### Basic Usage

```python
import synqed

# Create workspace
workspace = synqed.Workspace(
    name="Content Creation",
    description="Collaborative space for agents"
)

# Add agents
workspace.add_agent(agent1)
workspace.add_agent(agent2)

# Start and collaborate
await workspace.start()
results = await workspace.collaborate("Create content")
await workspace.close()
```

### With Orchestrator

```python
# Create orchestrator for intelligent routing
orchestrator = synqed.Orchestrator(
    provider=synqed.LLMProvider.OPENAI,
    api_key="...",
    model="gpt-4o"
)

# Create workspace
workspace = synqed.Workspace(name="Smart Collaboration")
workspace.add_agent(agent1)
workspace.add_agent(agent2)
workspace.add_agent(agent3)

await workspace.start()

# Orchestrator selects best agents
results = await workspace.collaborate(
    "Complex task",
    orchestrator=orchestrator
)
```

### Artifact Sharing

```python
# Create artifact
workspace.add_artifact(
    name="data.json",
    artifact_type="data",
    content={"key": "value"},
    created_by="agent1"
)

# Set shared state
workspace.set_shared_state("project_id", "proj-123")

# Get artifacts
artifacts = workspace.get_artifacts(artifact_type="data")
```
