Module: PWN::AI::Agent::Swarm

Defined in:
lib/pwn/ai/agent/swarm.rb

Overview

Native multi-agent orchestration for pwn-ai.

Swarm replaces the legacy pwn-irc mechanism (inspircd + weechat + PRIVMSG-flattened .chat calls) with first-class sub-agents built on top of PWN::AI::Agent::Loop.run. Each persona is a full tool-calling agent — Memory, Skills, Learning, Metrics and Extrospection all apply — so the self-improvement loop covers the whole swarm.

~/.pwn/agents.yml                    # persona registry
~/.pwn/swarm/<swarm_id>/bus.jsonl    # append-only message bus
~/.pwn/swarm/<swarm_id>/personas.json# persona -> PWN::Sessions id

Cross-session / cross-process communication == another pwn-ai (or a PWN::Cron job) calling Swarm.ask/debate with the same swarm_id and reading the same bus.jsonl. No daemon required.
