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

User --> Swarmdo (CLI/MCP) --> Router --> Swarm --> Agents --> Memory --> LLM Providers
                          ^                           |
                          +---- 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.

🔌 All 35 plugins

Core & Orchestration

Plugin	What it does
swarmdo-core	Foundation — server, health checks, plugin discovery
swarmdo-swarm	Coordinate multiple agents as a team
swarmdo-autopilot	Let agents run autonomously in a loop
swarmdo-loop-workers	Schedule background tasks on a timer
swarmdo-workflows	Reusable multi-step task templates
swarmdo-federation	Agents on different machines collaborate securely
