What it does

Swarm is an agent skill from ZaxbyHub/opencode-swarm. Codex adapter for enabling a higher-rigor swarm-like workflow in the current Codex thread. Use when the user asks for swarm mode, maximum quality, parallel investigation, extra review rigor, or a swarm-style approach without necessarily invoking the OpenCode Swarm plugin.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: Architect-centric agentic swarm plugin for OpenCode. Hub-and-spoke orchestration with SME consultation, code generation, and QA review. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for swarm mode
  • Maximum quality
  • Parallel investigation
  • Extra review rigor

Example prompts

  • “/swarm”

Workflow steps

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

  1. objective validation evidence,
  2. independent implementation reviewer approval on the actual latest diff,
  3. separate critic approval after reviewer approval,
  4. no unresolved NEEDS_REVISION/BLOCKED items, and
  5. no edits after those approvals.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b63a4bd. 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

Swarm loads about 470 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~470

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.

Swarm

Read .opencode/skills/swarm/SKILL.md for the source behavior model, then adapt it to Codex.

Codex-specific execution notes:

  • Treat this as a workflow posture, not an instruction to call OpenCode /swarm commands.
  • Use parallel local reads/searches where safe.
  • Use update_plan for visible task tracking on substantial work.
  • Add independent review pressure through $qa-sweep, $swarm-pr-review, or self-critic checks when subagents are unavailable.
  • Keep the user looped in with short progress updates during longer work.
  • For any task that edits code, tests, docs, package metadata, release notes, or skill files, final completion requires:
    1. objective validation evidence,
    2. independent implementation reviewer approval on the actual latest diff,
    3. separate critic approval after reviewer approval,
    4. no unresolved NEEDS_REVISION/BLOCKED items, and
    5. no edits after those approvals.
  • Record reviewer and critic verdicts in durable task artifacts. For issue-tracer work, use 08b-implementation-review.md and 09-final-critic.md; otherwise use task-local review artifacts unless the repo forbids artifacts.
  • Explorer subagents, a plan critic, passing tests, or self-review do not satisfy the final implementation-review gate when subagent delegation is available and swarm work is authorized.

For implementation tasks, prefer $swarm-implement; for fresh PR review, prefer $swarm-pr-review; for known PR feedback closure, prefer $swarm-pr-feedback; for bug tracing, prefer $issue-tracer.
