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

Use hierarchical for coding tasks (anti-drift)

Use raft consensus for consistency

Keep agent count under 8 for coordination

Run frequent checkpoints
