File contents 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
hierarchicalQueen controls workers
Default, anti-drift
meshFully connected peers
Research, exploration
hierarchical-meshHybrid
Recommended for complex
adaptiveDynamic based on load
Auto-scaling
Consensus Strategies
Strategy
Tolerance
Use Case
byzantinef < n/3 faulty
Untrusted environment
raftf < n/2 faulty
Leader-based, consistent
gossipEventual
Large scale, availability
crdtConflict-free
Concurrent updates
quorumConfigurable
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
