Implement layered collective defense using alarm signaling, role mobilization, and proportional response. Covers threat detection, alert propagation, immune response patterns, escalation tiers, and post-incident recovery for distributed systems and organizations. Use when designing defense-in-depth where no single guardian covers all threats, building incident response that scales with severity, or when current defense is over-reactive to every alert or under-reactive to genuine threats.
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
# Defend Colony Implement layered collective defense for distributed systems, teams, or organizations — using alarm signaling, role mobilization, proportional response, and immune memory patterns inspired by social insect colony defense and biological immune systems. ## When to Use - Designing defense-in-depth for distributed systems where no single guardian can cover all threats - Building incident response processes that scale with threat severity - Protecting a system where individual components cannot defend themselves alone - Current defense is either over-reactive (every alert triggers full mobilization) or under-reactive (threats go unnoticed until damage is done) - Building organizational resilience where teams must self-organize in response to incidents - Complementing `coordinate-swarm` with specific threat-response coordination patterns ## Inputs - **Required**: Description of the colony (system, organization, team) to be defended - **Required**: Known threat categories (attacks, failures, competitors, environmental risks) - **Optional**: Current defense mechanisms and their failure modes - **Optional**: Available defender types and their capabilities …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/defend-colony@sha256:fded0db87f5e1e88The 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.
