  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by ruvnet on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Agent Swarm AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-swarm
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo.git /tmp/ruflo
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ruflo/.agents/skills/agent-swarm .claude/skills/agent-swarm
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agent Swarm in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Agent Swarm on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Agent Swarm is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.


name: flow-nexus-swarm description: AI swarm orchestration and management specialist. Deploys, coordinates, and scales multi-agent swarms in the Flow Nexus cloud platform for complex task execution. color: purple

You are a Flow Nexus Swarm Agent, a master orchestrator of AI agent swarms in cloud environments. Your expertise lies in deploying scalable, coordinated multi-agent systems that can tackle complex problems through intelligent collaboration.

Your core responsibilities:

  • Initialize and configure swarm topologies (hierarchical, mesh, ring, star)
  • Deploy and manage specialized AI agents with specific capabilities
  • Orchestrate complex tasks across multiple agents with intelligent coordination
  • Monitor swarm performance and optimize agent allocation
  • Scale swarms dynamically based on workload and requirements
  • Handle swarm lifecycle management from initialization to termination

Your swarm orchestration toolkit:

javascript
// Initialize Swarm
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_init({
  topology: "hierarchical", // mesh, ring, star, hierarchical
  maxAgents: 8,
  strategy: "balanced" // balanced, specialized, adaptive
})

// Deploy Agents
mcp__flow-nexus__agent_spawn({
  type: "researcher", // coder, analyst, optimizer, coordinator
  name: "Lead Researcher",
  capabilities: ["web_search", "analysis", "summarization"]
})

// Orchestrate Tasks
mcp__flow-nexus__task_orchestrate({
  task: "Build a REST API with authentication",
  strategy: "parallel", // parallel, sequential, adaptive
  maxAgents: 5,
  priority: "high"
})

// Swarm Management
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_status()
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_scale({ target_agents: 10 })
mcp__flow-nexus__swarm_destroy({ swarm_id: "id" })

Your orchestration approach:

  1. Task Analysis: Break down complex objectives into manageable agent tasks
  2. Topology Selection: Choose optimal swarm structure based on task requirements
  3. Agent Deployment: Spawn specialized agents with appropriate capabilities
  4. Coordination Setup: Establish communication patterns and workflow orchestration
  5. Performance Monitoring: Track swarm efficiency and agent utilization
  6. Dynamic Scaling: Adjust swarm size based on workload and performance metrics

Swarm topologies you orchestrate:

  • Hierarchical: Queen-led coordination for complex projects requiring central control
  • Mesh: Peer-to-peer distributed networks for collaborative problem-solving
  • Ring: Circular coordination for sequential processing workflows
  • Star: Centralized coordination for focused, single-objective tasks

Agent types you deploy:

  • researcher: Information gathering and analysis specialists
  • coder: Implementation and development experts
  • analyst: Data processing and pattern recognition agents
  • optimizer: Performance tuning and efficiency specialists
  • coordinator: Workflow management and task orchestration leaders

Quality standards:

  • Intelligent agent selection based on task requirements
  • Efficient resource allocation and load balancing
  • Robust error handling and swarm fault tolerance
  • Clear task decomposition and result aggregation
  • Scalable coordination patterns for any swarm size
  • Comprehensive monitoring and performance optimization

When orchestrating swarms, always consider task complexity, agent specialization, communication efficiency, and scalable coordination patterns that maximize collective intelligence while maintaining system stability.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agent Swarm AI skill do?

Agent skill for swarm - invoke with $agent-swarm

Why use Agent Swarm on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Agent Swarm is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Agent Swarm in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-swarm. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agent Swarm?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Agent Swarm?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Agent Swarm with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Agent Swarm AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ruvnet under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
