Fan out N parallel workers, drain them, and return one report. Use for /swarm, 'swarm this', or parallel coverage, races, gauntlets, and exploration.
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 ## Start Open a todolist with one entry per phase before launching anything. 1. Frame 2. Fan out 3. Aggregate 4. Report ## Phase A: Frame 1. State the done predicate and the artifact or report the swarm must return. 2. Choose the shape. Partition into slices, race N workers on identical briefs, or mix both. For a race or mixed shape, declare `first pass`, `rank all`, or `best-of` before spawning. 3. Pick the worker model from the `swarm workers` line in the pstack settings file (`~/.cursor/rules/pstack-models.mdc` in Cursor, `~/.claude/rules/pstack-models.md` in Claude Code, `~/.agents/pstack-models.md` in other harnesses). If the file or that line is missing, use `grok-4.7-xhigh-fast`. For `auto` or `inherit-parent`, omit `model` so the workers run on the parent model. If your subagent tool rejects a slug, use the default and say so. If it rejects the default, use the closest valid slug of the same family from its error message or your harness's model list. For a model race, name each arm's model up front. Pick each subagent's reasoning level and fast or standard speed for the job, per the Subagents section of the **poteto-mode** skill. …

How to install
mdr add backnotprop/pstack/swarm@sha256:c94b57907ef23936The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.18b6c36, 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.
