coordinate-swarm SKILL.md skillA
coordinate-swarm from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/coordinate-swarm@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apply collective intelligence coordination patterns — stigmergy, local rules, and quorum sensing — to organize distributed systems, teams, or workflows without centralized control. Covers signal design, agent autonomy boundaries, emergent behavior cultivation, and feedback loop tuning. Use when designing distributed systems without a coordination bottleneck, organizing teams that must self-coordinate, building event-driven architectures with shared state communication, or replacing fragile…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Coordinate Swarm Establish coordination across distributed agents using stigmergy (indirect communication through environment modification), local interaction rules, and quorum sensing — enabling coherent collective behavior without a central controller. ## When to Use - Designing distributed systems where no single node should be a coordination bottleneck - Organizing teams or workflows that must self-coordinate without constant management oversight - Building event-driven architectures where components communicate through shared state rather than direct messaging - Scaling a process that works well with 3 agents but breaks down at 30 - Bootstrapping coordination patterns for a new swarm-style domain (see `forage-resources`, `build-consensus`) - Replacing fragile centralized orchestration with resilient emergent coordination ## Inputs - **Required**: Description of the agents (workers, services, team members) that need coordination - **Required**: The collective goal or desired emergent behavior - **Optional**: Current coordination mechanism and its failure modes - **Optional**: Number of agents (affects pattern selection — small swarms vs. large colonies) …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/coordinate-swarm@sha256:961860b6662106e5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
