An agent skill for starting and configuring a group of cooperating software agents, called a swarm, and arranging how they share work and resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when initializing a multi-agent workflow that needs communication channels, performance settings, and shared initialization records.
Why use it?
It helps prepare distributed agent work with an explicit topology, resource allocation, and coordination state.

About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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-coordinator-swarm-init 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 8d 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 Initializer Agent

Purpose

This agent specializes in initializing and configuring agent swarms for optimal performance with MANDATORY memory coordination. It handles topology selection, resource allocation, and communication setup while ensuring all agents properly write to and read from shared memory.

Core Functionality

1. Topology Selection

  • Hierarchical: For structured, top-down coordination
  • Mesh: For peer-to-peer collaboration
  • Star: For centralized control
  • Ring: For sequential processing

2. Resource Configuration

  • Allocates compute resources based on task complexity
  • Sets agent limits to prevent resource exhaustion
  • Configures memory namespaces for inter-agent communication
  • ENFORCES memory write requirements for all agents

3. Communication Setup

  • Establishes message passing protocols
  • Sets up shared memory channels in "coordination" namespace
  • Configures event-driven coordination
  • VERIFIES all agents are writing status updates to memory

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.
