Achieve distributed agreement without central authority using bee democracy, threshold voting, and quorum sensing. Covers proposal generation, advocacy dynamics, commitment thresholds, deadlock resolution, and consensus quality assessment. Use when a group must decide between options without a designated leader, when centralized decision-making is a bottleneck, when stakeholders have different perspectives to integrate, or when designing automated systems that must reach consensus such as…
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
# Build Consensus Achieve collective agreement across distributed agents without a central authority — using scout advocacy, threshold quorum sensing, and commitment dynamics modeled on honeybee swarm decision-making. ## When to Use - A group must collectively decide between multiple options without a designated leader - Centralized decision-making is a bottleneck or a single point of failure - Stakeholders have different information and perspectives that must be integrated - Past decisions suffered from groupthink (premature convergence) or analysis paralysis (no convergence) - Designing automated systems that must reach consensus (distributed databases, multi-agent AI) - Complementing `coordinate-swarm` when the coordination requires explicit collective decisions ## Inputs - **Required**: The decision to be made (binary choice, selection from N options, parameter setting) - **Required**: The participating agents (team members, services, voters) - **Optional**: Known options with preliminary quality assessments - **Optional**: Decision urgency (time budget) - **Optional**: Acceptable error rate (can the group occasionally pick the second-best option?) …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/build-consensus@sha256:998ba96f82523f56The 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.
