Skill1 starsChanged 7 months agoMITView on GitHub
Multi-agent swarm coordination for complex tasks. Uses hierarchical topology with specialized agents to break down and execute complex work across multiple files and modules. Use when: 3+ files need changes, new feature implementation, cross-module refactoring, API changes with tests, security-related changes, performance optimization across codebase, database schema changes. Skip when: single file edits, simple bug fixes (1-2 lines), documentation updates, configuration changes, quick exploration.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Swarm Orchestration Skill
Purpose
Multi-agent swarm coordination for complex tasks. Uses hierarchical topology with specialized agents to break down and execute complex work across multiple files and modules.
When to Trigger
- 3+ files need changes
- new feature implementation
- cross-module refactoring
- API changes with tests
- security-related changes
- performance optimization across codebase
- database schema changes
When to Skip
- single file edits
- simple bug fixes (1-2 lines)
- documentation updates
- configuration changes
- quick exploration
Commands
Initialize Swarm
Start a new swarm with hierarchical topology (anti-drift)
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 8 --strategy specializedExample:
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm init --topology hierarchical --max-agents 6 --strategy specializedRoute Task
Route a task to the appropriate agents based on task type
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "[task description]"Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli hooks route --task "implement OAuth2 authentication flow"Spawn Agent
Spawn a specific agent type
npx @claude-flow/cli agent spawn --type [type] --name [name]Example:
npx @claude-flow/cli agent spawn --type coder --name impl-authMonitor Status
Check the current swarm status
npx @claude-flow/cli swarm status --verboseOrchestrate Task
Orchestrate a task across multiple agents
npx @claude-flow/cli task orchestrate --task "[task]" --strategy adaptiveExample:
npx @claude-flow/cli task orchestrate --task "refactor auth module" --strategy parallel --max-agents 4List Agents
List all active agents
npx @claude-flow/cli agent list --filter activeScripts

Best Practices
- Check memory for existing patterns before starting
- Use hierarchical topology for coordination
- Store successful patterns after completion
- Document any new learnings
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
