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

### Spawn Queen
```bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind spawn --role queen --name coordinator
```

### Check Consensus Status
```bash
npx claude-flow hive-mind consensus --status
```

### View Sessions
```bash
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
