name: 'Swarm Custom Action'
description: 'Custom swarm-powered action'
inputs:
task:
description: 'Task for swarm'
required: true
runs:
using: 'node16'

Integration with Claude-Flow
๐ Swarm Coordination Patterns
MCP-Based GitHub Workflow Coordination
#### Initialize GitHub Swarm// Step 1: Initialize swarm coordination
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init {
topology: "hierarchical",
maxAgents: 8
}
// Step 2: Spawn specialized agents
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "GitHub Coordinator" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "reviewer", name: "Code Reviewer" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "tester", name: "QA Agent" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "analyst", name: "Security Analyst" }
// Step 3: Orchestrate GitHub workflow
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
task: "Complete PR review and merge workflow",
strategy: "parallel",
priority: "high"
}
#### GitHub Hooks Integration
# Pre-task: Setup GitHub context
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks pre-task \
--description "PR review workflow" \
--context "pr-123"
# During task: Track progress
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks notify \
--message "Completed security scan" \
--type "github-action"
# Post-task: Export results
npx claude-flow@alpha hooks post-task \
--task-id "pr-review-123" \
--export-github-summary
๐ฆ Batch Operations
Concurrent GitHub Operations
#### Parallel GitHub CLI Commands// Single message with all GitHub operations
[Concurrent Execution]:
Bash("gh issue create --title 'Feature A' --body 'Description A' --label 'enhancement'")
Bash("gh issue create --title 'Feature B' --body 'Description B' --label 'enhancement'")
Bash("gh pr create --title 'PR 1' --head 'feature-a' --base 'main'")
Bash("gh pr create --title 'PR 2' --head 'feature-b' --base 'main'")
Bash("gh pr checks 123 --watch")

Best Practices
๐๏ธ Workflow Organization
Structure Your GitHub Workflows
#### 1. Use Reusable Workflows# .github/workflows/reusable-swarm.yml
name: Reusable Swarm Workflow
on:
workflow_call:
inputs:
topology:
required: true
type: string
jobs:
swarm-task:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Initialize Swarm
run: |
npx ruv-swarm init --topology ${{ inputs.topology }}
#### 2. Implement Proper Caching
- name: Cache Swarm Dependencies
uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: ~/.npm
key: ${{ runner.os }}-swarm-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
#### 3. Set Appropriate Timeouts
jobs:
swarm-task:
timeout-minutes: 30
steps:
- name: Swarm Operation
timeout-minutes: 10
#### 4. Use Workflow Dependencies
jobs:
setup:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
test:
needs: setup
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
deploy:
needs: [setup, test]
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
๐ Security Best Practices
Secure Your GitHub Workflows
#### 1. Store Configurations Securely- name: Setup Swarm
env:
SWARM_CONFIG: ${{ secrets.SWARM_CONFIG }}
API_KEY: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
run: |
npx ruv-swarm init --config "$SWARM_CONFIG"
#### 2. Use OIDC Authentication
permissions:
id-token: write
contents: read
- name: Configure AWS Credentials
uses: aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v2
with:
role-to-assume: arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/GitHubAction
aws-region: us-east-1
#### 3. Implement Least-Privilege
permissions:
contents: read
pull-requests: write
issues: write
#### 4. Audit Swarm Operations
- name: Audit Swarm Actions
run: |
npx ruv-swarm actions audit \
--export-logs \
--compliance-report
โก Performance Optimization
Maximize Workflow Performance
#### 1. Cache Swarm Dependencies- uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: |
~/.npm
node_modules
key: ${{ runner.os }}-swarm-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
#### 2. Use Appropriate Runner Sizes
jobs:
heavy-task:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest-4-cores
steps:
- name: Intensive Swarm Operation
#### 3. Implement Early Termination
- name: Quick Fail Check
run: |
if ! npx ruv-swarm actions pre-check; then
echo "Pre-check failed, terminating early"
exit 1
fi
#### 4. Optimize Parallel Execution
strategy:
matrix:
include:
- runner: ubuntu-latest
task: test
- runner: ubuntu-latest
task: lint
- runner: ubuntu-latest
task: security
max-parallel: 3
Debugging & Troubleshooting
๐ Debug Tools
Debug GitHub Workflow Issues
#### Debug Mode- name: Debug Swarm
run: |
npx ruv-swarm actions debug \
--verbose \
--trace-agents \
--export-logs
env:
ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG: true
#### Performance Profiling
# Profile workflow performance
npx ruv-swarm actions profile \
--workflow "ci.yml" \
--identify-slow-steps \
--suggest-optimizations
#### Failure Analysis
# Analyze failed runs
gh run view <run-id> --json jobs,conclusion | \
npx ruv-swarm actions analyze-failure \
--suggest-fixes \
--auto-retry-flaky
#### Log Analysis
