Based on the original, hugely popular ruflo — renamed, self-contained, and MIT-licensed. Full lineage in NOTICE.
Swarmdo
An agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex.
Agent = Model + Harness. The model writes; the harness gives it tools, memory, loops, sandboxes, and controls so it can actually work. Swarmdo is the harness — the execution layer around Claude Code and Codex that adds 100+ specialized agents, coordinated swarms, self-learning memory, federated comms across machines, and enterprise security guardrails. So agents don't just run, they collaborate.
One npx swarmdo init gives Claude Code a nervous system: agents self-organize into swarms, learn from every task, remember across sessions, and — with federation — securely talk to agents on other machines without leaking data. You keep writing code. Swarmdo handles the coordination.
Self-Learning / Self-Optimizing Agent Architecture

+---- Learning Loop <-------+
New to Swarmdo? You don't need to learn 314 MCP tools or 26 CLI commands. After init, just use Claude Code normally — the hooks system automatically routes tasks, learns from successful patterns, and coordinates agents in the background.
📖 Background — where the name comes from
Swarmdo is now Swarmdo — named by the upstream author, who loves Rust, flow states, and building things that feel inevitable. The "Ru" is the the upstream author. The "flo" is working until 3am. Underneath, powered by Cognitum.One agentic architecture, running a supercharged Rust-based AI engine, embeddings, memory, and plugin system.
Quick Start
There are two different install paths with very different surface areas. Pick based on what you need (#1744):
| Claude Code Plugin | CLI install (npx swarmdo init) |
|---|
| What it gives you | Slash commands + a few skills + agent definitions per-plugin | Full Swarmdo loop — 98 agents, 60+ commands, 30 skills, MCP server, hooks, daemon |
| Files in your workspace | Zero | .claude/, .swarmdo/, CLAUDE.md, helpers, settings |
| MCP server registered | No (memory_store, swarm_init, etc. unavailable to Claude) | Yes |
| Hooks installed | No | Yes |
| Best for | Try a single plugin's commands without committing to the full install | Production use — everything works as documented |
Path A — Claude Code Plugins (lite, slash commands only)
# Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add upstream/swarmdo
# Install core + any plugins you need
/plugin install swarmdo-core@swarmdo
/plugin install swarmdo-swarm@swarmdo
/plugin install swarmdo-rag-memory@swarmdo
/plugin install swarmdo-neural-trader@swarmdo
This adds slash commands and agent definitions only. The Swarmdo MCP server is NOT registered, so memory_store, swarm_init, agent_spawn, etc. won't be callable from Claude. For the full loop, use Path B below.
