metaswarm-setup

metaswarm-setup is a command for coding agents from dsifry/metaswarm. It costs 0 tokens per session (5,523 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive setup command for metaswarm, a project tool whose components and configuration are stored in the project. It checks whether metaswarm is installed, detects the project's technology stack, and asks questions to build or update its project profile.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it to install missing metaswarm components, review an existing project profile, or configure metaswarm for a project's stack.
Why use it?
It avoids manually checking installation and assembling project settings, while helping handle an existing profile.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

metaswarm-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Metaswarm Guided Setup

Interactive, Claude-guided setup for metaswarm in your project. Detects your stack, asks targeted questions, and customizes everything automatically.

Usage

/metaswarm-setup

Phase 1: Bootstrap Check

Before anything else, verify that metaswarm components are installed.

Step 1.1 — Check for plugin directory

Use the Glob tool to check if .claude/plugins/metaswarm/ exists:

Glob: .claude/plugins/metaswarm/**/*
  • If files are found, metaswarm components are installed. Proceed to Step 1.2.
  • If NO files are found, tell the user: "Metaswarm components aren't installed yet. Let me install them now." Then run via Bash:
npx metaswarm install

Wait for the command to complete. If it fails, tell the user to check their Node.js installation and try npm install -g metaswarm manually.

Step 1.2 — Check for existing project profile

Use the Glob tool to check if .metaswarm/project-profile.json exists.

  • If it exists, read it and present the current configuration summary to the user. Use AskUserQuestion to ask:
    • "You already have a metaswarm project profile. What would you like to do?"
    • Options: "Re-run setup (Recommended)" / "Skip setup"
    • If user chooses "Skip setup", stop here with: "Setup skipped. Your existing configuration is unchanged."
    • If user chooses "Re-run setup", continue to Phase 2.
  • If it does NOT exist, continue to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Project Detection

You MUST detect all of the following automatically by scanning the project directory. Use the Glob and Read tools — do NOT ask the user for any of this information. Detect everything silently, then present the results.

2.1 — Language Detection

Check for these marker files using Glob at the project root:

Marker File Language
package.json Node.js / JavaScript
tsconfig.json TypeScript (refines Node.js to TypeScript)
pyproject.toml OR setup.py OR requirements.txt Python
go.mod Go
Cargo.toml Rust
pom.xml OR build.gradle OR build.gradle.kts Java
Gemfile Ruby

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
