Features

1. Cross-Repository Swarm Orchestration

Repository Discovery

// Auto-discover related repositories with gh CLI
const REPOS = Bash(`gh repo list my-organization --limit 100 \
  --json name,description,languages,topics \
  --jq '.[] | select(.languages | keys | contains(["TypeScript"]))'`)

// Analyze repository dependencies
const DEPS = Bash(`gh repo list my-organization --json name | \
  jq -r '.[].name' | while read -r repo; do
    gh api repos/my-organization/$repo/contents/package.json \
      --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d | jq '{name, dependencies}'
  done | jq -s '.'`)

// Initialize swarm with discovered repositories
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init({
  topology: "hierarchical",
  maxAgents: 8,
  metadata: { repos: REPOS, dependencies: DEPS }
})

Synchronized Operations

// Execute synchronized changes across repositories
[Parallel Multi-Repo Operations]:
  // Spawn coordination agents
  Task("Repository Coordinator", "Coordinate changes across all repositories", "coordinator")
  Task("Dependency Analyzer", "Analyze cross-repo dependencies", "analyst")
  Task("Integration Tester", "Validate cross-repo changes", "tester")

  // Get matching repositories
  Bash(`gh repo list org --limit 100 --json name \
    --jq '.[] | select(.name | test("-service$")) | .name' > /tmp/repos.txt`)

  // Execute task across repositories
  Bash(`cat /tmp/repos.txt | while read -r repo; do
    gh repo clone org/$repo /tmp/$repo -- --depth=1
    cd /tmp/$repo

    # Apply changes
    npm update
    npm test

    # Create PR if successful
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
      git checkout -b update-dependencies-$(date +%Y%m%d)
      git add -A
      git commit -m "chore: Update dependencies"
      git push origin HEAD
      gh pr create --title "Update dependencies" --body "Automated update" --label "dependencies"
    fi
  done`)

  // Track all operations
  TodoWrite { todos: [
    { id: "discover", content: "Discover all service repositories", status: "completed" },
    { id: "update", content: "Update dependencies", status: "completed" },

  })

Cross-Repository Standardization

// Synchronize structure across repositories
[Structure Standardization]:
  const repositories = ["claude-code-flow", "ruv-swarm", "claude-extensions"]

  // Update common files across all repositories
  repositories.forEach(repo => {
    mcp__github__create_or_update_file({

      message: "ci: Standardize integration workflow",
      branch: "structure/standardization"
    })
  })

4. Orchestration Workflows

Dependency Management

// Update dependencies across all repositories
[Organization-Wide Dependency Update]:
  // Create tracking issue
  TRACKING_ISSUE=$(Bash(`gh issue create \
    --title "Dependency Update: typescript@5.0.0" \
    --body "Tracking TypeScript update across all repositories" \
    --label "dependencies,tracking" \
    --json number -q .number`))

  // Find all TypeScript repositories
  TS_REPOS=$(Bash(`gh repo list org --limit 100 --json name | \
    jq -r '.[].name' | while read -r repo; do
      if gh api repos/org/$repo/contents/package.json 2>/dev/null | \
         jq -r '.content' | base64 -d | grep -q '"typescript"'; then
        echo "$repo"
      fi
    done`))

  // Update each repository
  Bash(`echo "$TS_REPOS" | while read -r repo; do
    gh repo clone org/$repo /tmp/$repo -- --depth=1
    cd /tmp/$repo

    npm install --save-dev typescript@5.0.0

    if npm test; then
      git checkout -b update-typescript-5
      git add package.json package-lock.json
      git commit -m "chore: Update TypeScript to 5.0.0

Part of #$TRACKING_ISSUE"

        --label "dependencies"
    else
      gh issue comment $TRACKING_ISSUE \
        --body "❌ Failed to update $repo - tests failing"
    fi
  done`)

Refactoring Operations

// Coordinate large-scale refactoring
[Cross-Repo Refactoring]:

  // Spawn specialized agents
  Task("Refactoring Coordinator", "Coordinate refactoring across repos", "coordinator")
  Task("Impact Analyzer", "Analyze refactoring impact", "analyst")
  Task("Code Transformer", "Apply refactoring changes", "coder")
  Task("Migration Guide Creator", "Create migration documentation", "documenter")
  Task("Integration Tester", "Validate refactored code", "tester")

  // Execute refactoring
  mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate({
    task: "Rename OldAPI to NewAPI across all repositories",
    strategy: "sequential",
    priority: "high"
  })

Security Updates

// Coordinate security patches
[Security Patch Deployment]:
  // Scan all repositories
  Bash(`gh repo list org --limit 100 --json name | jq -r '.[].name' | \
    while read -r repo; do
      gh repo clone org/$repo /tmp/$repo -- --depth=1
      cd /tmp/$repo
      npm audit --json > /tmp/audit-$repo.json
    done`)

  // Apply patches
  Bash(`for repo in /tmp/audit-*.json; do
    if [ $(jq '.vulnerabilities | length' $repo) -gt 0 ]; then
      cd /tmp/$(basename $repo .json | sed 's/audit-//')
      npm audit fix

      if npm test; then
        git checkout -b security/patch-$(date +%Y%m%d)
        git add -A
        git commit -m "security: Apply security patches"
        git push origin HEAD
        gh pr create --title "Security patches" --label "security"
      fi
    fi
  done`)

Configuration

Multi-Repo Config File

# .swarm/multi-repo.yml
version: 1
organization: my-org

repositories:
  - name: frontend
    url: github.com/my-org/frontend
    role: ui
    agents: [coder, designer, tester]

  - name: backend
    url: github.com/my-org/backend
    role: api
    agents: [architect, coder, tester]

  - name: shared
    url: github.com/my-org/shared
    role: library
    agents: [analyst, coder]

coordination:
  topology: hierarchical
  communication: webhook
  memory: redis://shared-memory

dependencies:
  - from: frontend
    to: [backend, shared]
  - from: backend
    to: [shared]

Repository Roles

{
  "roles": {
    "ui": {
      "responsibilities": ["user-interface", "ux", "accessibility"],
      "default-agents": ["designer", "coder", "tester"]
    },
    "api": {
      "responsibilities": ["endpoints", "business-logic", "data"],
      "default-agents": ["architect", "coder", "security"]
    },
    "library": {
      "responsibilities": ["shared-code", "utilities", "types"],
      "default-agents": ["analyst", "coder", "documenter"]
    }
  }
}

Communication Strategies

1. Webhook-Based Coordination

const { MultiRepoSwarm } = require('ruv-swarm');

const swarm = new MultiRepoSwarm({
  webhook: {
    url: 'https://swarm-coordinator.example.com',
    secret: process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET
  }
});

swarm.on('repo:update', async (event) => {
  await swarm.propagate(event, {
    to: event.dependencies,
    strategy: 'eventual-consistency'
  });
});

2. Event Streaming

# Kafka configuration for real-time coordination
kafka:
  brokers: ['kafka1:9092', 'kafka2:9092']
  topics:
    swarm-events:
      partitions: 10
      replication: 3
    swarm-memory:
      partitions: 5
      replication: 3

Synchronization Patterns

1. Eventually Consistent

{
  "sync": {
    "strategy": "eventual",
    "max-lag": "5m",
    "retry": {
      "attempts": 3,
      "backoff": "exponential"
    }
  }
}

2. Strong Consistency

{
  "sync": {
    "strategy": "strong",
    "consensus": "raft",
    "quorum": 0.51,
    "timeout": "30s"
  }
}

3. Hybrid Approach

{
  "sync": {
    "default": "eventual",
    "overrides": {
      "security-updates": "strong",
      "dependency-updates": "strong",
      "documentation": "eventual"
    }
  }
}

Use Cases

1. Microservices Coordination
