Hive-Mind Skill

Purpose

Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed swarm coordination.

When to Trigger

  • Multi-agent distributed tasks
  • Fault-tolerant operations needed
  • Collective decision making
  • Complex coordination patterns

Topologies

Topology Description Use Case
hierarchical Queen controls workers Default, anti-drift
mesh Fully connected peers Research, exploration
hierarchical-mesh Hybrid Recommended for complex
adaptive Dynamic based on load Auto-scaling

Consensus Strategies

Strategy Tolerance Use Case
byzantine f < n/3 faulty Untrusted environment
raft f < n/2 faulty Leader-based, consistent
gossip Eventual Large scale, availability
crdt Conflict-free Concurrent updates
quorum Configurable Tunable consistency

Commands

Initialize Hive-Mind

npx claude-flow hive-mind init --topology hierarchical-mesh --consensus raft

Spawn Queen

npx claude-flow hive-mind spawn --role queen --name coordinator

Check Consensus Status

npx claude-flow hive-mind consensus --status

View Sessions

npx claude-flow hive-mind sessions --active

Best Practices

  1. Use hierarchical for coding tasks (anti-drift)
  2. Use raft consensus for consistency
  3. Keep agent count under 8 for coordination
  4. Run frequent checkpoints
