Swarms Multi-agent orchestration for Claude Code and Codex. Plan with explicit dependencies, execute in parallel waves, with an orchestrator that maintains context and verifies work. The Problem with Simple Loops A popular pattern for AI coding agents is the bash loop: spawn an agent, have it find the next task, execute it, repeat. It mirrors how humans work, logical and straightforward. But LLMs aren't humans. Each new agent session starts fresh. It has to: Re-read the same prompt as every previous iteration Discover the current project state through exploration Figure out what comes next by inspecting previous work Hope the last agent didn't cut corners There's no continuity. No one checking work. No context passed between agents. Each iteration burns tokens re-discovering what the orchestrator already knows. A Different Approach Swarms takes lessons from simple loops and more complex multi-agent systems, packaging them into something effective and beginner-friendly. The key insight: an orchestrator that plans the work should also coordinate the execution. It already has the complete picture: codebase research, documentation, clarified requirements, a reviewed plan.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
