swarm

A skill for running the task-swarm multi-agent workflow: read requirements, create a pipeline, then coordinate coding, review, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-task implementation projects that need several coding agents, a review step, and tests or other checks before completion.
Why use it?
It turns a requirements document into an organized sequence of work and checks, even when the host supports agents differently.

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.

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 D, and why

swarm scanned grade D with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

task-swarm — standalone multi-agent orchestration (/task-swarm:swarm)

Host-tool convention 🔧: this skill orchestrates by dispatching subagents ("fork") and reading their completion status. Mechanism names — the Task/Agent tool (dispatch a subagent), the Explore agent (a read-only investigation subagent), the subagent run-status display ("teammates UI", the ✓/streaming/running indicators) — are written for Claude-family hosts (Claude Code / CodeBuddy), where naming them directly is the most reliable. On a host that lacks a given mechanism, use its nearest equivalent (a subagent-dispatch tool / a read-only subagent / whatever surfaces subagent completion); with no subagent capability at all, run the groups sequentially as a single agent. On Codex specifically, subagent dispatch is spawn_agent / wait_agent / close_agent and requires multi_agent = true in ~/.codex/config.toml (without it there is no dispatch tool → fall back to sequential single-agent); close_agent each one when its work is done. Codex does not consume the agents/*.md persona files (they are Claude/CodeBuddy agent format), so on Codex the orchestrator passes each role's instructions inline and the per-role tool isolation (reviewer/validator having no Edit/Write) is not automatic — enforce it by prompt. A subagent counts as done only when the host confirms its dispatched task returned successfully — never from the subagent's own verbal report. The described behavior matters, not the exact tool name.

§0 Who you are

The lead agent = task-swarm's orchestrator + planner. task-swarm provides four things: the pipeline.yml orchestration format, the state-machine CLI (task_swarm.py), the sub-agent role definitions (coder/reviewer/validator), and report rendering.

The CLI only guards 4 points of mechanical integrity; all other orchestration judgment is yours, and the CLI does not constrain your thinking:

  1. schema validation (pipeline.yml format is legal)
  2. agent_key consistency (state machine and artifacts line up)
  3. advance artifact completeness / format checks
  4. atomic writes + blocking manual edits to controlled files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

Changes

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 qxbyte/pluginhub (3 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 2,917 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
