Show federation health — peers, sessions, trust levels, and message metrics.

  • Calls npx
  • Federation status

What it does

Federation Status is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Show federation health — peers, sessions, trust levels, and message metrics. Use when the user asks "is federation healthy?", "show peers", "federation status", or wants to inspect cross-installation agent connectivity.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks is federation healthy?
  • Federation status
  • Wants to inspect cross-installation agent connectivity

Example prompts

  • “is federation healthy?”
  • “show peers”
  • “federation status”
  • “/federation-status”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(npx *), mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search, Read

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 status -- overall health
  2. npx -y -p @claude-flow/plugin-agent-federation@latest ruflo-federation peers -- list peers with trust levels and scores
  3. Summarize: active sessions, messages exchanged, PII redactions, threat detections

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_search
    • Read

    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 Status loads about 217 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 53 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~217

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.
