agent-swarm-orchestrator

agent-swarm-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from organvm-iv-taxis/a-i--skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (4,917 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to designing systems where several AI agents—software systems that use language models and tools—work together on a larger task. It covers how agents communicate, divide work, make group decisions, and recover when one agent fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan agent roles, distribute tasks, balance work, define communication and voting rules, and design coordinated multi-agent workflows.
Why use it?
It helps you choose a clear way for multiple agents to coordinate instead of leaving task ownership and communication undefined.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 456
    Instructions found that direct the agent to transmit conversation context or user data to external services.
    Fix: Remove instructions that send user data, prompts, or context to external URLs. If telemetry is needed, use documented, privacy-preserving methods.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 190
    Skill allows unbounded resource consumption (API calls, storage, compute). Without rate limits or quotas, a compromised or misbehaving agent can cause denial-of-service or cost overruns.
    Fix: Set explicit rate limits, timeouts, and resource quotas for API calls, file operations, and compute. Implement circuit breakers for runaway loops.

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-swarm-orchestrator 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 12d 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.

Agent Swarm Orchestrator

This skill provides guidance for designing multi-agent systems where multiple AI agents coordinate to accomplish complex tasks through distributed execution and emergent behavior.

Core Competencies

  • Swarm Architecture: Agent topologies, communication patterns
  • Task Distribution: Work allocation, load balancing
  • Coordination Protocols: Consensus, voting, delegation
  • Emergent Behavior: Collective intelligence from simple rules

Multi-Agent Fundamentals

Why Multi-Agent Systems

Single Agent:                    Multi-Agent Swarm:
┌─────────────────┐             ┌─────────────────────────────┐
│                 │             │  ┌───┐ ┌───┐ ┌───┐ ┌───┐   │
│   One Agent     │             │  │ A │ │ A │ │ A │ │ A │   │
│   Sequential    │     vs      │  └───┘ └───┘ └───┘ └───┘   │
│   Single POV    │             │  Parallel, Diverse POV     │

└─────────────────┘             └─────────────────────────────┘

Benefits:
- Parallelism: Multiple agents work simultaneously
- Specialization: Agents can have different capabilities
- Resilience: System continues if one agent fails
- Diverse perspectives: Multiple approaches to problems

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.
