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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00481 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00241 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
swarm-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 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to swarm-init — 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.
What it actually says
swarm init
Initialize a Claude Flow swarm with specified topology and configuration.
Usage
npx claude-flow swarm init [options]
Options
--topology, -t <type>- Swarm topology: mesh, hierarchical, ring, star (default: hierarchical)--max-agents, -m <number>- Maximum number of agents (default: 8)--strategy, -s <type>- Execution strategy: balanced, parallel, sequential (default: parallel)--auto-spawn- Automatically spawn agents based on task complexity--memory- Enable cross-session memory persistence--github- Enable GitHub integration features
Examples
Basic initialization
npx claude-flow swarm init
Mesh topology for research
npx claude-flow swarm init --topology mesh --max-agents 5 --strategy balanced
Hierarchical for development
npx claude-flow swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 10 --strategy parallel --auto-spawn
GitHub-focused swarm
npx claude-flow swarm init --topology star --github --memory
Topologies
Mesh
- All agents connect to all others
- Best for: Research, exploration, brainstorming
- Communication: High overhead, maximum information sharing
Hierarchical
- Tree structure with clear command chain
- Best for: Development, structured tasks, large projects
- Communication: Efficient, clear responsibilities
Ring
- Agents connect in a circle
- Best for: Pipeline processing, sequential workflows
- Communication: Low overhead, ordered processing
Star
- Central coordinator with satellite agents
- Best for: Simple tasks, centralized control
- Communication: Minimal overhead, clear coordination
Integration with Claude Code
Once initialized, use MCP tools in Claude Code:
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 8 }

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.

swarm-init is a command published in the GitHub repository sethdford/flowx (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 481 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to swarm-init, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other commands, from other repositories
git
Git operations with intelligent commit messages and workflow optimization.
checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
