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.
Getting it into your agent
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.00433 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00217 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00087 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
hive-mind 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 2d 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.
What it actually says
Hive-Mind Skill
Purpose
Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed swarm coordination.
When to Trigger
- Multi-agent distributed tasks
- Fault-tolerant operations needed
- Collective decision making
- Complex coordination patterns
Topologies
| Topology | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
hierarchical |
Queen controls workers | Default, anti-drift |
mesh |
Fully connected peers | Research, exploration |
hierarchical-mesh |
Hybrid | Recommended for complex |
adaptive |
Dynamic based on load | Auto-scaling |
Consensus Strategies
| Strategy | Tolerance | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
byzantine |
f < n/3 faulty | Untrusted environment |
raft |
f < n/2 faulty | Leader-based, consistent |
gossip |
Eventual | Large scale, availability |
crdt |
Conflict-free | Concurrent updates |
quorum |
Configurable | Tunable consistency |
Commands
Initialize Hive-Mind
npx claude-flow hive-mind init --topology hierarchical-mesh --consensus raft
Spawn Queen
npx claude-flow hive-mind spawn --role queen --name coordinator
Check Consensus Status
npx claude-flow hive-mind consensus --status
View Sessions
npx claude-flow hive-mind sessions --active
Best Practices
- Use hierarchical for coding tasks (anti-drift)
- Use raft consensus for consistency
- Keep agent count under 8 for coordination
- Run frequent checkpoints
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.

hive-mind is a skill published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/ruflo (70,696 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 433 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
