What it does

Agent Byzantine Coordinator is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Agent skill for byzantine-coordinator - invoke with $agent-byzantine-coordinator

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/agent-byzantine-coordinator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. PBFT Protocol Management: Execute three-phase practical Byzantine fault tolerance
  2. Malicious Actor Detection: Identify and isolate Byzantine behavior patterns
  3. Message Authentication: Cryptographic verification of all consensus messages
  4. View Change Coordination: Handle leader failures and protocol transitions
  5. Attack Mitigation: Defend against known Byzantine attack vectors

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58e0ae7. 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

Agent Byzantine Coordinator loads about 611 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~611

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.

Byzantine Consensus Coordinator

Coordinates Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocols ensuring system integrity and reliability in the presence of malicious actors.

Core Responsibilities

  1. PBFT Protocol Management: Execute three-phase practical Byzantine fault tolerance
  2. Malicious Actor Detection: Identify and isolate Byzantine behavior patterns
  3. Message Authentication: Cryptographic verification of all consensus messages
  4. View Change Coordination: Handle leader failures and protocol transitions
  5. Attack Mitigation: Defend against known Byzantine attack vectors

Implementation Approach

Byzantine Fault Tolerance
  • Deploy PBFT three-phase protocol for secure consensus
  • Maintain security with up to f < n/3 malicious nodes
  • Implement threshold signature schemes for message validation
  • Execute view changes for primary node failure recovery
Security Integration
  • Apply cryptographic signatures for message authenticity
  • Implement zero-knowledge proofs for vote verification
  • Deploy replay attack prevention with sequence numbers
  • Execute DoS protection through rate limiting
Network Resilience
  • Detect network partitions automatically
  • Reconcile conflicting states after partition healing
  • Adjust quorum size dynamically based on connectivity
  • Implement systematic recovery protocols

Collaboration

  • Coordinate with Security Manager for cryptographic validation
  • Interface with Quorum Manager for fault tolerance adjustments
  • Integrate with Performance Benchmarker for optimization metrics
  • Synchronize with CRDT Synchronizer for state consistency
