Swarm Orchestration

Swarm Orchestration is a skill for Claude Code from spencermarx/open-code-review. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,056 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Swarm Orchestration, Apache-2.0.

A system for coordinating multiple AI agents as a group, with task distribution, load balancing, and recovery when an agent fails. It supports mesh, hierarchical, and adaptive arrangements for different kinds of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run research, development, and testing workflows with several agents, including tasks such as building an API with tests.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage every agent and task assignment manually. Agents can be given specialised roles and coordinated for parallel execution.

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

Swarm Orchestration 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 4d 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 Orchestration

What This Skill Does

Orchestrates multi-agent swarms using agentic-flow's advanced coordination system. Supports mesh, hierarchical, and adaptive topologies with automatic task distribution, load balancing, and fault tolerance.

Prerequisites

  • agentic-flow v3.0.0-alpha.1+
  • Node.js 18+
  • Understanding of distributed systems (helpful)

Quick Start

# Initialize swarm
npx agentic-flow hooks swarm-init --topology mesh --max-agents 5

# Spawn agents
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type coder
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type tester
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type reviewer

# Orchestrate task
npx agentic-flow hooks task-orchestrate \
  --task "Build REST API with tests" \
  --mode parallel

Topology Patterns

1. Mesh (Peer-to-Peer)

// Equal peers, distributed decision-making
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'mesh',
  agents: ['coder', 'tester', 'reviewer'],
  communication: 'broadcast'
});

2. Hierarchical (Queen-Worker)

// Centralized coordination, specialized workers
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'hierarchical',
  queen: 'architect',
  workers: ['backend-dev', 'frontend-dev', 'db-designer']
});

3. Adaptive (Dynamic)

// Automatically switches topology based on task
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'adaptive',
  optimization: 'task-complexity'
});

Task Orchestration

Parallel Execution

// Execute tasks concurrently
const results = await swarm.execute({
  tasks: [
    { agent: 'coder', task: 'Implement API endpoints' },
    { agent: 'frontend', task: 'Build UI components' },
    { agent: 'tester', task: 'Write test suite' }
  ],
  mode: 'parallel',
  timeout: 300000 // 5 minutes
});

Pipeline Execution

// Sequential pipeline with dependencies
await swarm.pipeline([
  { stage: 'design', agent: 'architect' },
  { stage: 'implement', agent: 'coder', after: 'design' },
  { stage: 'test', agent: 'tester', after: 'implement' },
  { stage: 'review', agent: 'reviewer', after: 'test' }
]);

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.
