What it does

Topology is an agent skill from chmod777john/swarm-ide. Explain the IM+Agent framework: create+send as minimal primitives, IM system vs agent loop separation, message vs llmHistory, and the recursive property.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops and Building AI agents. The repository describes itself as: 为 Agent Swarm 打造的 IDE ，支持 Kimi-2.5, GLM-4.7 等（即使不像 K2.5 那样经过强化学习的模型也能用）An IDE built for Agent Swarms, supporting Kimi-2.5, GLM-4.7, and more (compatible with models even without…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e72fcb1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Topology loads about 447 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~447

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 152 words (~447 tokens).

Questions about Topology

What does Topology do?

Explain the IM+Agent framework: create+send as minimal primitives, IM system vs agent loop separation, message vs llmHistory, and the recursive property. Topology is an agent skill from chmod777john/swarm-ide. Explain the IM+Agent framework: create+send as minimal primitives, IM system vs agent loop separation, message vs llmHistory, and the recursive property.

When should I use Topology?

Topology fits situations like: tasks that involve Autonomous loops; tasks that involve Building AI agents.

How do I install Topology in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add chmod777john/swarm-ide --skill topology -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (backend/skills/topology in chmod777john/swarm-ide) into .claude/skills/topology in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Topology in Codex?

Run `npx skills add chmod777john/swarm-ide --skill topology -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (backend/skills/topology in chmod777john/swarm-ide) into .agents/skills/topology in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Topology in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add chmod777john/swarm-ide --skill topology -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/topology, .gemini/skills/topology, .github/skills/topology and .opencode/skills/topology in your project.

What does Topology need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Topology is instructions for the agent only.

Does Topology access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Topology safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Topology use?

No licence was found for Topology or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Topology use?

About 447 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Topology?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Topology: Agent Architecture Audit (affaan-m/ECC, 276k stars), AI Agent Development (aiskillstore/marketplace, 430 stars), Author Skill (ericrisco/rsc-harness, 174 stars) and Swarms Multi-Agent Framework (kyegomez/swarms, 7.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Topology?

chmod777john (a GitHub user) maintains it in chmod777john/swarm-ide, which has 1,502 GitHub stars. The repository was last updated on March 2, 2026.

Source: chmod777john/swarm-ide on GitHub. Facts on this page come from the repository at the commit we read; the author's words are quoted as theirs.
