Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/plugins/ruflo-federation/skills/federation-init .claude/skills/federation-init && rm -rf skills-src

At a glance

Initialize federation on this node — generate keypair and configure peers

  • Works in 3 steps: npx -y -p… → If a compliance mode is specified,… → Show the node's public key and endpoint…
  • Calls npx

What it does

Federation Init is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Initialize federation on this node — generate keypair and configure peers

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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

  • “/federation-init”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(npx *), mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_post-task, Read, Write

Workflow steps

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

  1. npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation@latest ruflo-federation init
  2. If a compliance mode is specified, configure it: npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation@latest ruflo-federation config…
  3. Show the node's public key and endpoint for sharing with peers

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6051f67. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(npx *)
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_post-task
    • Read
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Federation Init loads about 221 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~221

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.

Initialize this node for federation. Generates an ed25519 keypair, creates the federation config, and optionally sets a compliance mode.

Steps:

  1. npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation@latest ruflo-federation init
  2. If a compliance mode is specified, configure it: npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation@latest ruflo-federation config --compliance MODE
  3. Show the node's public key and endpoint for sharing with peers
