consensus-mechanisms
Multi-protocol consensus for agent swarms supporting Raft leader election, Byzantine fault tolerance, Gossip state propagation, and CRDT conflict-free merging.
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill consensus-mechanisms --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
- Byzantine fault tolerance is required (untrusted or unreliable agents) - State synchronization across distributed agent swarms - Conflict-free data merging in concurrent operations ## Protocols | Protocol | Use Case | Fault Tolerance | Complexity | |----------|----------|-----------------|------------| | Raft | Leader-based consensus, ordered log | Crash faults (f < n/2) | Medium | | Byzantine | Untrusted agents, adversarial conditions | Byzantine faults (f < n/3) | High | | Gossip | Eventual consistency, state propagation | Partition tolerant | Low | | CRDT | Conflict-free replicated data types | Always convergent | Low | ## Weighted Voting - Queen agents: 3x weight multiplier - Worker agents: 1x weight - Configurable consensus threshold (majority, supermajority, unanimous) ## Agents Used - `agents/swarm-coordinator/` - Protocol orchestration - `agents/strategic-queen/` - Weighted voting leadership ## Tool Use Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/ruflo/ruflo-swarm-coordination`

What does the consensus-mechanisms skill do?
Multi-protocol consensus for agent swarms supporting Raft leader election, Byzantine fault tolerance, Gossip state propagation, and CRDT conflict-free merging.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill consensus-mechanisms --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
