Swarm Orchestration

What This Skill Does

Orchestrates multi-agent swarms using agentic-flow's advanced coordination system. Supports mesh, hierarchical, and adaptive topologies with automatic task distribution, load balancing, and fault tolerance.

Prerequisites

  • agentic-flow v1.5.11+
  • Node.js 18+
  • Understanding of distributed systems (helpful)

Quick Start

bash
# Initialize swarm
npx agentic-flow hooks swarm-init --topology mesh --max-agents 5

# Spawn agents
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type coder
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type tester
npx agentic-flow hooks agent-spawn --type reviewer

# Orchestrate task
npx agentic-flow hooks task-orchestrate \
  --task "Build REST API with tests" \
  --mode parallel

Topology Patterns

1. Mesh (Peer-to-Peer)

typescript
// Equal peers, distributed decision-making
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'mesh',
  agents: ['coder', 'tester', 'reviewer'],
  communication: 'broadcast'
});

2. Hierarchical (Queen-Worker)

typescript
// Centralized coordination, specialized workers
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'hierarchical',
  queen: 'architect',
  workers: ['backend-dev', 'frontend-dev', 'db-designer']
});

3. Adaptive (Dynamic)

typescript
// Automatically switches topology based on task
await swarm.init({
  topology: 'adaptive',
  optimization: 'task-complexity'
});

Task Orchestration

Parallel Execution

typescript
// Execute tasks concurrently
const results = await swarm.execute({
  tasks: [
    { agent: 'coder', task: 'Implement API endpoints' },
    { agent: 'frontend', task: 'Build UI components' },
    { agent: 'tester', task: 'Write test suite' }
  ],
  mode: 'parallel',
  timeout: 300000 // 5 minutes
});

Pipeline Execution

typescript
// Sequential pipeline with dependencies
await swarm.pipeline([
  { stage: 'design', agent: 'architect' },
  { stage: 'implement', agent: 'coder', after: 'design' },
  { stage: 'test', agent: 'tester', after: 'implement' },
  { stage: 'review', agent: 'reviewer', after: 'test' }
]);

Adaptive Execution

typescript
// Let swarm decide execution strategy
await swarm.autoOrchestrate({
  goal: 'Build production-ready API',
  constraints: {
    maxTime: 3600,
    maxAgents: 8,
    quality: 'high'
  }
});

Memory Coordination

typescript
// Share state across swarm
await swarm.memory.store('api-schema', {
  endpoints: [...],
  models: [...]
});

// Agents read shared memory
const schema = await swarm.memory.retrieve('api-schema');

Advanced Features

Load Balancing

typescript
// Automatic work distribution
await swarm.enableLoadBalancing({
  strategy: 'dynamic',
  metrics: ['cpu', 'memory', 'task-queue']
});

Fault Tolerance

typescript
// Handle agent failures
await swarm.setResiliency({
  retry: { maxAttempts: 3, backoff: 'exponential' },
  fallback: 'reassign-task'
});

Performance Monitoring

typescript
// Track swarm metrics
const metrics = await swarm.getMetrics();
// { throughput, latency, success_rate, agent_utilization }

Integration with Hooks

bash
# Pre-task coordination
npx agentic-flow hooks pre-task --description "Build API"

# Post-task synchronization
npx agentic-flow hooks post-task --task-id "task-123"

# Session restore
npx agentic-flow hooks session-restore --session-id "swarm-001"

Best Practices

  1. Start small: Begin with 2-3 agents, scale up
  2. Use memory: Share context through swarm memory
  3. Monitor metrics: Track performance and bottlenecks
  4. Enable hooks: Automatic coordination and sync
  5. Set timeouts: Prevent hung tasks

Troubleshooting

Issue: Agents not coordinating

Solution: Verify memory access and enable hooks

Issue: Poor performance

Solution: Check topology (use adaptive) and enable load balancing
