Autonomous multi-agent coordination protocol. Commander posts objectives; 3-5 nodes self-organize into tactical squads through natural language.
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
# Swarm
A commander posts an objective to a shared IOA space. Nodes in the space self-organize into a tactical squad — dividing work, sharing findings, and converging on results. No micromanagement.
## Roles
- **Commander** (aide): posts objectives, monitors, mediates human review. Does NOT assign specific work to specific nodes.
- **Node** (aiscan): receives objectives, self-organizes with peers, executes, reports.
## Message format
Send with `content_type: "swarm"` on the message envelope. The content body has **NO `type` field**.
```json
{"content": "Natural language message"}
```
Objective broadcast (commander → space):
```json
{"content": "Full vulnerability assessment of 10.0.0.0/24", "targets": ["10.0.0.0/24"], "task": true}
```
No `refs.nodes` — this is a broadcast to the entire space. All idle nodes pick it up.
| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `content` | **yes** | Natural language |
| `targets` | no | Operational targets for tools |
| `task` | no | `true` → all idle nodes start working |

How to install
mdr add chainreactors/ioa/swarm@sha256:bf46ed3b827cf1f8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260608.9514d23, 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.
