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.

About this skill
What does the hive-mind skill do?

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.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill hive-mind --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 ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 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.
