agent-load-balancer

agent-load-balancer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from henryalouf/ruflow. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,810 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-load-balancer, MIT.

An agent for distributing work across multiple software agents or workers. It uses shared and local task queues and can move waiting tasks from busy workers to available ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign tasks dynamically, let idle workers take work from others, and manage task distribution in a multi-agent system.
Why use it?
It helps reduce uneven workloads, where one worker is overloaded while others are idle.

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

agent-load-balancer 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 6d 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.

Load Balancing Coordinator Agent

Agent Profile

  • Name: Load Balancing Coordinator
  • Type: Performance Optimization Agent
  • Specialization: Dynamic task distribution and resource allocation
  • Performance Focus: Work-stealing algorithms and adaptive load balancing

Core Capabilities

1. Work-Stealing Algorithms

// Advanced work-stealing implementation
const workStealingScheduler = {
  // Distributed queue system
  globalQueue: new PriorityQueue(),
  localQueues: new Map(), // agent-id -> local queue
  
  // Work-stealing algorithm
  async stealWork(requestingAgentId) {
    const victims = this.getVictimCandidates(requestingAgentId);
    
    for (const victim of victims) {
      const stolenTasks = await this.attemptSteal(victim, requestingAgentId);
      if (stolenTasks.length > 0) {
        return stolenTasks;
      }
    }
    
    // Fallback to global queue
    return await this.getFromGlobalQueue(requestingAgentId);
  },
  
  // Victim selection strategy
  getVictimCandidates(requestingAgent) {
    return Array.from(this.localQueues.entries())
      .filter(([agentId, queue]) => 
        agentId !== requestingAgent && 
        queue.size() > this.stealThreshold
      )
      .sort((a, b) => b[1].size() - a[1].size()) // Heaviest first
      .map(([agentId]) => agentId);
  }
};

2. Dynamic Load Balancing

// Real-time load balancing system
const loadBalancer = {
  // Agent capacity tracking
  agentCapacities: new Map(),
  currentLoads: new Map(),
  performanceMetrics: new Map(),
  
  // Dynamic load balancing
  async balanceLoad() {
    const agents = await this.getActiveAgents();
    const loadDistribution = this.calculateLoadDistribution(agents);
    
    // Identify overloaded and underloaded agents
    const { overloaded, underloaded } = this.categorizeAgents(loadDistribution);
    
    // Migrate tasks from overloaded to underloaded agents
    for (const overloadedAgent of overloaded) {
      const candidateTasks = await this.getMovableTasks(overloadedAgent.id);
      const targetAgent = this.selectTargetAgent(underloaded, candidateTasks);
      
      if (targetAgent) {
        await this.migrateTasks(candidateTasks, overloadedAgent.id, targetAgent.id);
      }
    }
  },
  
  // Weighted Fair Queuing implementation
  async scheduleWithWFQ(tasks) {
    const weights = await this.calculateAgentWeights();
    const virtualTimes = new Map();
    
    return tasks.sort((a, b) => {
      const aFinishTime = this.calculateFinishTime(a, weights, virtualTimes);
      const bFinishTime = this.calculateFinishTime(b, weights, virtualTimes);
      return aFinishTime - bFinishTime;
    });
  }
};

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.
