hive-mind
Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus and distributed coordination. Queen-led hierarchical swarm management with multiple consensus strategies. Use when: distributed coordination, fault-tolerant operations, multi-agent consensus, collective decision making. Skip when: single-agent tasks, simple operations, local-only work.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill provides a framework for multi-agent swarm coordination and consensus. It utilizes the 'claude-flow' CLI tool to manage agent hierarchies and implement fault-tolerant strategies like Raft and Byzantine consensus. While it uses standard package execution, the multi-agent interaction model creates an inherent surface for indirect prompt injection between nodes.

What does this agent skill do?
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
