Advanced swarm-orchestration patterns for research, development, testing, and complex distributed workflows. Use when scaling beyond a few agents, designing dynamic swarm topologies, or coordinating large parallel agent workloads.

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

# Advanced Swarm Orchestration

Master advanced swarm patterns for distributed research, development, and testing workflows. This skill covers comprehensive orchestration strategies using both MCP tools and CLI commands.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites
```bash
# Ensure Claude Flow is installed
npm install -g claude-flow@alpha

# Add MCP server (if using MCP tools)
claude mcp add claude-flow npx claude-flow@alpha mcp start
```

### Basic Pattern
```javascript
// 1. Initialize swarm topology
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({ topology: "mesh", maxAgents: 6 })

// 2. Spawn specialized agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn({ type: "researcher", name: "Agent 1" })

// 3. Orchestrate tasks
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({ task: "...", strategy: "parallel" })
```

## Core Concepts

### Swarm Topologies

**Mesh Topology** - Peer-to-peer communication, best for research and analysis
- All agents communicate directly
- High flexibility and resilience
- Use for: Research, analysis, brainstorming

**Hierarchical Topology** - Coordinator with subordinates, best for development
- Clear command structure
- Sequential workflow support
- Use for: Development, structured workflows

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/swarm-advanced@sha256:3f418e3a7e0c8571

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
