SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the design, deployment, and management of multi-agent swarm systems using the Swarm Covenant protocol to enable scalable, topology-aware coordination and lifecycle management across distributed agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Topology design and deployment: choose star, mesh, hierarchical, pipeline, or dynamic topologies to match task shapes.
  • Coordinator-specialist patterns: compose leaders and specialists using headybot-core for efficient orchestration.
  • Task graph orchestration: build directed acyclic graphs with dependencies, lifecycle hooks, and health checks.
  • Observability and scaling: monitor swarm health with heady-observer and adjust the agent pool via dynamic scaling.
  • Real-world scenarios include scalable coordination of autonomous agent teams and resilient swarm operations.

Quick Start

Provide a complete Swarm Covenant specification for a new swarm project, including topology, agent roster, and a sample task graph.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design and orchestrate multi-agent swarms at scale?

Design multi-agent swarms at scale using a Swarm Covenant specification to formalize topology selection, define coordinator-specialist roles, and execute task graphs with lifecycle hooks across distributed agents.

What is a Swarm Covenant for multi-agent topology orchestration?

A Swarm Covenant is a specification protocol that formalizes topology, agent roles, and lifecycle management to enable scalable, topology-aware coordination across distributed multi-agent systems.

How do I choose the right topology for multi-agent task graph execution?

Choose star, mesh, hierarchical, pipeline, or dynamic topologies by matching the topology structure to your task graph shape, ensuring efficient coordinator-specialist orchestration and resilient swarm operations.

Can I integrate lifecycle hooks and health checks into multi-agent task graphs?

Yes, you can build directed acyclic task graphs that incorporate dependency management, lifecycle hooks, and health checks to monitor swarm health and enable dynamic scaling across the agent pool.

Does multi-agent swarm orchestration work with headybot-core and heady-observer?

Yes, the Swarm Covenant protocol integrates directly with headybot-core for coordinator-specialist composition, heady-observer for observability, heady-maestro, and template-swarm-bee.

What are the limitations of dynamic topology scaling for autonomous swarms?

Dynamic topology scaling depends on continuous health monitoring via heady-observer and properly configured lifecycle hooks; without these, autonomous swarm operations may fail to adjust agent pools during task graph execution.
