flow-nexus-swarm

flow-nexus-swarm is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruflo. It costs 13 tokens per session (618 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service for deploying and coordinating groups of AI agents, software workers assigned different roles, in the cloud.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create swarms, add researcher or coding agents, orchestrate tasks in parallel or sequence, monitor activity, scale the group and use pre-built templates.
Why use it?
It helps divide larger tasks among specialised agents and control how they work together.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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

flow-nexus-swarm 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 yesterday.

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.

// Scale swarm
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_scale({ target_agents: 10 })

// Destroy swarm

Templates

// Use pre-built swarm template

  template_name: "full-stack-dev",
  overrides: {
    maxAgents: 6,
    strategy: "specialized"
  }

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.
