At a glance

Coordinates work across several GitHub repositories: swarm-driven cross-repo operations, package version and documentation sync, and repository structure optimization.

  • Works in 12 steps: Cross-Repository Swarm Orchestration → Package Synchronization → Repository Architecture → …
  • Keeping package versions and dependencies aligned across several repositories
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Core Capabilities, Quick Start and Features, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls npx; needs WEBHOOK_SECRET

What it does

This skill pairs AI swarm coordination with the gh CLI to work across many repositories at once. It discovers related repositories in an organization (the example lists up to 100, with their languages and topics), then runs coordinated operations through claude-flow commands such as init for a set of repos, sync for named packages and optimize for repository structure.

It describes four areas: cross-repository swarm orchestration, package synchronization (aligning versions and dependencies and keeping CLAUDE.md files consistent across packages), repository architecture (structure analysis and template management), and integration management with cross-package integration testing and deployment coordination.

When your agent uses it

  • Keeping package versions and dependencies aligned across several repositories
  • Applying one change to the frontend, backend and shared repos together
  • Standardizing the structure of repositories across an organization
  • Syncing CLAUDE.md documentation between related packages

Example prompts

  • “Initialize multi-repo coordination for org/frontend, org/backend and org/shared.”
  • “Sync package versions between claude-code-flow and ruv-swarm.”
  • “Analyze the structure of our repositories and suggest what to standardize.”

Requirements

  • The GitHub CLI (gh) with access to the organization
  • claude-flow, run through npx

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Cross-Repository Swarm Orchestration
  2. Package Synchronization
  3. Repository Architecture
  4. Orchestration Workflows
  5. Webhook-Based Coordination
  6. Event Streaming
  7. Eventually Consistent
  8. Strong Consistency
  9. Hybrid Approach
  10. Microservices Coordination
  11. Library Updates
  12. Organization-Wide Changes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e993605. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WEBHOOK_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

GitHub Multi-Repo Coordination loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 385 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.6k

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 385 words (~5,607 tokens).

“Advanced multi-repository coordination system that combines swarm intelligence, package synchronization, and repository architecture optimization. This skill enables organization-wide automation, cross-project collaboration, and scalable repository management.”
