init

init is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruv-FANN. It costs 0 tokens per session (316 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination framework for Claude Code that structures how it approaches complex tasks. It does not write code or create content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a coordination pattern before Claude Code handles a complex project. It supports mesh coordination with a chosen agent limit and strategy.
Why use it?
It gives Claude Code a planned way to break down problems, consider multiple perspectives, and stay consistent across larger projects.

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

init 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Initialize Coordination Framework

🎯 Key Principle

This tool coordinates Claude Code's actions. It does NOT write code or create content.

MCP Tool Usage in Claude Code

Tool: mcp__ruv-swarm__swarm_init

Parameters

{"topology": "mesh", "maxAgents": 5, "strategy": "balanced"}

Description

Set up a coordination topology to guide Claude Code's approach to complex tasks

Details

This tool creates a coordination framework that helps Claude Code:

  • Break down complex problems systematically
  • Approach tasks from multiple perspectives
  • Maintain consistency across large projects
  • Work more efficiently through structured coordination

Remember: This does NOT create actual coding agents. It creates a coordination pattern for Claude Code to follow.

Example Usage

In Claude Code:

  1. Use the tool: mcp__ruv-swarm__swarm_init
  2. With parameters: {"topology": "mesh", "maxAgents": 5, "strategy": "balanced"}
  3. Claude Code then executes the coordinated plan using its native tools

Important Reminders

  • ✅ This tool provides coordination and structure
  • ✅ Claude Code performs all actual implementation
  • ❌ The tool does NOT write code
  • ❌ The tool does NOT access files directly
  • ❌ The tool does NOT execute commands

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.

init is a command published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/ruv-FANN (378 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 316 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
