SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates the design, deployment, and management of multi-agent swarm systems using the Swarm Covenant protocol to enable scalable, topology-aware coordination and lifecycle management across distributed agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Topology design and deployment: choose star, mesh, hierarchical, pipeline, or dynamic topologies to match task shapes.
  • Coordinator-specialist patterns: compose leaders and specialists using headybot-core for efficient orchestration.
  • Task graph orchestration: build directed acyclic graphs with dependencies, lifecycle hooks, and health checks.
  • Observability and scaling: monitor swarm health with heady-observer and adjust the agent pool via dynamic scaling.
  • Real-world scenarios include scalable coordination of autonomous agent teams and resilient swarm operations.

Quick Start

Provide a complete Swarm Covenant specification for a new swarm project, including topology, agent roster, and a sample task graph.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design and orchestrate multi-agent swarms at scale?▼

Design multi-agent swarms at scale using a Swarm Covenant specification to formalize topology selection, define coordinator-specialist roles, and execute task graphs with lifecycle hooks across distributed agents.

What is a Swarm Covenant for multi-agent topology orchestration?▼

A Swarm Covenant is a specification protocol that formalizes topology, agent roles, and lifecycle management to enable scalable, topology-aware coordination across distributed multi-agent systems.

How do I choose the right topology for multi-agent task graph execution?▼

Choose star, mesh, hierarchical, pipeline, or dynamic topologies by matching the topology structure to your task graph shape, ensuring efficient coordinator-specialist orchestration and resilient swarm operations.

Can I integrate lifecycle hooks and health checks into multi-agent task graphs?▼

Yes, you can build directed acyclic task graphs that incorporate dependency management, lifecycle hooks, and health checks to monitor swarm health and enable dynamic scaling across the agent pool.

Does multi-agent swarm orchestration work with headybot-core and heady-observer?▼

Yes, the Swarm Covenant protocol integrates directly with headybot-core for coordinator-specialist composition, heady-observer for observability, heady-maestro, and template-swarm-bee.

What are the limitations of dynamic topology scaling for autonomous swarms?▼

Dynamic topology scaling depends on continuous health monitoring via heady-observer and properly configured lifecycle hooks; without these, autonomous swarm operations may fail to adjust agent pools during task graph execution.
