About hive-mind
hive-mind is a skill for distributed multi-agent coordination and consensus. It offers several topologies and consensus strategies for tasks requiring fault tolerance or collective decisions.
Key features
- 01Support multiple swarm topologies
- 02Offer varied consensus strategies
- 03Spawn a coordinator node
- 04View consensus status and sessions
Use cases
- 01Coordinate distributed multi-agent tasks
- 02Reach consensus in untrusted environments
- 03Inspect swarm sessions and consensus state

Details
From the project READMEHive-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
