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 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.01383 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00553 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00277 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00138 |
Grade A, and why
swarm-advanced 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 1mo 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
84% identical to swarm-advanced — 792 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.

Advanced Swarm Orchestration
Master advanced swarm patterns for distributed research, development, and testing workflows. This skill covers comprehensive orchestration strategies using both MCP tools and CLI commands.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
# Ensure Claude Flow is installed
npm install -g claude-flow@alpha
# Add MCP server (if using MCP tools)
claude mcp add claude-flow npx claude-flow@alpha mcp start
Basic Pattern
// 1. Initialize swarm topology
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({ topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 6 })
// 2. Spawn specialized agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({ type: "researcher", name: "Agent 1" })
// 3. Orchestrate tasks
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({ task: "...", strategy: "parallel" })
Core Concepts
Swarm Topologies
Mesh Topology - Peer-to-peer communication, best for research and analysis
- All agents communicate directly
- High flexibility and resilience
- Use for: Research, analysis, brainstorming
Hierarchical Topology - Coordinator with subordinates, best for development
- Clear command structure
- Sequential workflow support
- Use for: Development, structured workflows
Star Topology - Central coordinator, best for testing
- Centralized control and monitoring
- Parallel execution with coordination
- Use for: Testing, validation, quality assurance
Ring Topology - Sequential processing chain
- Step-by-step processing
- Pipeline workflows
- Use for: Multi-stage processing, data pipelines
Agent Strategies
Adaptive - Dynamic adjustment based on task complexity Balanced - Equal distribution of work across agents Specialized - Task-specific agent assignment Parallel - Maximum concurrent execution

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-advanced is a skill published in the GitHub repository frankxai/claude-skills-library (47 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,383 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to swarm-advanced, differing in 792 lines, and is treated as a copy.
