bottleneck-detect

A command that examines where multi-agent swarm work slows down, such as delayed messages, slow responses, or resource contention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze the current or a specified swarm over a chosen time period, set a bottleneck threshold, export the findings, or apply fixes.
Why use it?
It helps locate the parts of a swarm causing delays instead of relying on guesswork. It can also apply automatic optimizations when requested.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

bottleneck-detect 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to bottleneck-detect — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

bottleneck detect

Analyze performance bottlenecks in swarm operations and suggest optimizations.

Usage

npx claude-flow bottleneck detect [options]

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.

bottleneck-detect is a command published in the GitHub repository f-amine/vibe-stack (21 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 874 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to bottleneck-detect, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
