swarm

swarm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from goondocks-co/open-agent-kit. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,302 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An organization-wide search layer for finding knowledge across multiple project teams and their machines. It covers shared decisions, conventions, codebase knowledge, and solutions used elsewhere.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare how projects solved a problem, find organization-wide conventions, and retrieve shared technical decisions.
Why use it?
It avoids searching each project separately when you need an answer that may already exist in another team’s work.

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

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 5d 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.

Swarm

The swarm is a federation of teams across your organization. Each team is a project with its own machine and developer nodes — its own memories, sessions, plans, and codebase knowledge. The swarm connects these teams so you can search and retrieve knowledge from all of them at once.

Use MCP tools (swarm_search, swarm_fetch, swarm_nodes, swarm_status) to access collective knowledge. If MCP tools are not available, fall back to the CLI commands shown below.

Architecture at a Glance

Organization Swarm
├── Team A (this project)
│   ├── Node: developer laptop
│   └── Node: CI server
├── Team B (api-service)
│   └── Node: developer laptop
└── Team C (mobile-app)
    ├── Node: developer laptop
    └── Node: staging server
  • Swarm = organization-level federation of teams
  • Team = a single project (has its own .oak/ci/activities.db)
  • Node = a machine running the team daemon within a project

The swarm aggregates knowledge across teams. The team federates tool calls across nodes within one project. This skill is for the swarm layer.

When to Use Swarm vs Team

Question Use Team (oak) Use Swarm
How does auth work in this project? oak_search
How do we handle auth across projects? swarm_search
What patterns exist org-wide for error handling? swarm_search
What was decided about our API design? oak_search
What API conventions do other teams follow? swarm_search
What depends on this module locally? oak_context
Which other projects depend on our shared library? swarm_search

Rule of thumb: Team = "this project", Swarm = "the organization".

Quick Start

Search then Fetch (primary workflow)

The two-step pattern keeps responses focused — search returns summaries with IDs, fetch returns full content for the items you care about.

# 1. Search across all connected teams
swarm_search(query="retry with exponential backoff", search_type="memory")

# 2. Get full details for specific results
swarm_fetch(ids=["chunk-id-from-search"], project_slug="api-service")

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository goondocks-co/open-agent-kit (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 1,302 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
