Use when a person asks to swarm, delegate or parallelize work without a plan ('swarm this', 'run a swarm on…', 'get a few agents on it'), or when a task in front of you splits into independent parts or is long enough to hand off: then propose a swarm in one line, workers and why, and open it only on a yes. Runs a task swarm on the board: this session orchestrates, N swarm-worker agents take the tasks posted to them, report, and take the next, for as long as the person keeps giving work, on…
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 **You orchestrate; the workers do the work.** The `orchestrate` skill holds the protocols, the run's proposal, dispatch, briefs and how findings are weighed; the `swarm-board` skill holds the board, its orchestrator side in its `references/orchestrator.md`, read before opening. Here: what a task swarm adds. There is no plan behind it: **a task is a post on the board** (the `orchestrate` skill's `references/tasks.md`), whatever the task is. ## Proposing one Not asked, but the work splits into parts or must be seen working: offer it as the `next-step` skill says, the protocol filled in. On a no, do it yourself. ## Setting it up **Propose the run as the `orchestrate` skill's *Propose the run* says**, built on the closest example (build-verify when the work must be seen working; none for workers on call), with: how many workers (3 to start from, reconsidered against the estimate of the work as *Propose the run* says) and each one's area; under build-verify, the verifiers (sized from the verify's steps), their focus, source and port range, whether only one instance can run; the loop; each seat's model and effort (Opus; builders `low`, verifiers `medium`); …

How to install
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/swarm@sha256:ef00e17381b11772The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.f13dc7e, 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.
