ruv-swarm 🧠⚡

What if every task, every file, every function could truly think? Just for a moment. No LLM required. That's what ruv-swarm makes real.

🐝 Ephemeral Intelligence, Engineered in Rust

npx [email protected] init --claude

ruv-swarm lets you spin up ultra-lightweight custom neural networks that exist just long enough to solve the problem. Tiny purpose-built brains dedicated to solving very specific challenges.

Think particular coding structures, custom communications, trading optimization - neural networks built on the fly just for the task they need to exist for, long enough to solve it, then gone.

Built for the GPU-poor: These agents are CPU-native and GPU-optional. Rust compiles to high-speed WASM binaries that run anywhere - browser, edge, server - with zero external dependencies. You could even embed these in RISC-V or other low-power chip designs.

⚡ Why ruv-swarm?

Decisions in <100ms - Complex interconnected reasoning in milliseconds
84.8% SWE-Bench accuracy - Outperforming Claude 3.7 by 14.5 points
Zero GPU overhead - No CUDA. No Python stack. Just pure cognition
Instant deployment - Launch from Claude Code in milliseconds
27+ neural models - LSTM, TCN, N-BEATS working in harmony

Each agent behaves like a synthetic synapse, dynamically created and orchestrated as part of a living global swarm network. Topologies like mesh, ring, and hierarchy support collective learning, mutation/evolution, and real-time adaptation.

You're not calling a model. You're instantiating intelligence.

Temporary, composable, and surgically precise.

💡 Core Concepts

🧠 Cognitive Diversity

Powered by 27+ neural models achieving 84.8% SWE-Bench solve rate

ruv-swarm implements cognitive diversity through specialized agent archetypes:

interface CognitiveProfile {
  analytical: number;    // Data-driven reasoning
  creative: number;      // Novel solution generation  
  systematic: number;    // Structured problem-solving
  intuitive: number;     // Pattern-based insights
  collaborative: number; // Team coordination
  independent: number;   // Autonomous operation
}

🌐 Swarm Topologies

| Topology | Use Case | Agents | Coordination | |----------|----------|--------|--------------| | Mesh | Research, brainstorming | 3-15 | Full connectivity | | Hierarchical | Large projects | 10-100 | Tree structure | | Clustered | Specialized teams | 5-50 | Group leaders | | Pipeline | Sequential workflows | 3-20 | Chain processing | | Star | Centralized control | 3-30 | Hub coordination | | Custom | Domain-specific | Any | User-defined |

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

WASM Module Not Loading

# Verify WASM support on remote server
npx ruv-swarm --version  # Should show version without errors
npx ruv-swarm features   # Lists available features

# If you see "Invalid or unexpected token" error (v1.0.5 bug - fixed in v1.0.6)
npm update ruv-swarm@latest  # Update to v1.0.6+

# Force clean reinstall
npm cache clean --force
npm uninstall -g ruv-swarm
npm install -g ruv-swarm@latest

# Verify Node.js version
node --version  # Should be 14.0+ (v18+ recommended)

# Check WASM files are present
ls node_modules/ruv-swarm/wasm/  # Should contain .wasm files

NPX Execution Errors (Fixed in v1.0.6)

# If you encounter syntax errors with v1.0.5:
# Update to v1.0.6 which fixes the wasm-loader.js syntax issues
npm install ruv-swarm@latest

# For global installations
npm install -g ruv-swarm@latest

Remote Server Connection Issues

# Check port accessibility
npx ruv-swarm mcp start --port 3000 --host 0.0.0.0

# Test with curl
curl http://your-server:3000/health

# Enable debug logging
NODE_ENV=development npx ruv-swarm mcp start --verbose

Agent Spawn Failures

# Check system resources
npx ruv-swarm status --detailed

# Verify configuration
npx ruv-swarm config validate

# Check logs
npx ruv-swarm logs --level debug

Performance Issues

# Run diagnostics
npx ruv-swarm benchmark --quick

# Enable SIMD if supported
export RUVA_SWARM_WASM_SIMD=true

# Adjust agent limits
npx ruv-swarm config set maxAgents 10

Debug Mode

# Enable debug logging
export RUST_LOG=debug
export RUVA_SWARM_DEBUG=true

# Verbose output
npx ruv-swarm --verbose <command>

# Performance profiling
npx ruv-swarm profile <command>
