Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed coordination. Queen-led hierarchical swarm management with multiple consensus strategies. Use when: distributed coordination, fault-tolerant operations, multi-agent consensus, collective decision making. Skip when: single-agent tasks, simple operations, local-only work.

AI-generated overview

Coordinates multi-agent swarms with Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus strategies and hierarchical topologies.

What it does
This skill provides guidance for distributed coordination among multiple agents using a queen-led hierarchical swarm model. It describes selectable topologies such as hierarchical, mesh, hierarchical-mesh, and adaptive, along with consensus strategies including byzantine, raft, gossip, crdt, and quorum. It also lists commands for initializing a hive-mind, spawning a queen, checking consensus status, and viewing sessions, plus best practices for keeping coordination stable.
When to use it
Use it for multi-agent distributed tasks that need fault-tolerant operations, collective decision making, or complex coordination patterns. It is not intended for single-agent tasks, simple operations, or local-only work.
Requirements
Requires the npx claude-flow command-line tool and network access to fetch it. No scripts are included; the skill is instructions only.

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

TopologyDescriptionUse Case
hierarchicalQueen controls workersDefault, anti-drift
meshFully connected peersResearch, exploration

adaptiveDynamic based on loadAuto-scaling

Consensus Strategies

gossipEventualLarge scale, availability
crdtConflict-freeConcurrent updates
quorumConfigurableTunable consistency

Commands

Initialize Hive-Mind

bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind init --topology hierarchical-mesh --consensus raft

Spawn Queen

bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind spawn --role queen --name coordinator

Check Consensus Status

bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind consensus --status

View Sessions

bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind sessions --active

Best Practices

  1. Use hierarchical for coding tasks (anti-drift)
  2. Use raft consensus for consistency
  3. Keep agent count under 8 for coordination
  4. Run frequent checkpoints
