What it does

Hive Mind Advanced is an agent skill from ruvnet/agentic-flow. Advanced Hive Mind collective intelligence system for queen-led multi-agent coordination with consensus mechanisms and persistent memory

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k 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 Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: Easily switch between alternative low-cost AI models in Claude Code/Agent SDK. For those comfortable using Claude agents and commands, it lets you take what you've created and…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent memory

Example prompts

  • “/hive-mind-advanced”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Initialize Hive Mind
  2. Spawn a Swarm
  3. Monitor Status
  4. Choose the Right Queen Type
  5. Leverage Consensus
  6. Utilize Collective Memory
  7. Monitor Performance
  8. Session Management

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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Hive Mind Advanced loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 763 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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 763 words (~4,181 tokens).

“Master the advanced Hive Mind collective intelligence system for sophisticated multi-agent coordination using queen-led architecture, Byzantine consensus, and collective memory.”
