Multi Repo Swarm by spencermarx

Overview

Coordinate AI swarms across multiple repositories, enabling organization-wide automation and intelligent cross-project collaboration.

Core Features

1. Cross-Repo Initialization

# Initialize multi-repo swarm with gh CLI
# List organization repositories
REPOS=$(gh repo list org --limit 100 --json name,description,languages \
  --jq '.[] | select(.name | test("frontend|backend|shared"))')

# Get repository details
REPO_DETAILS=$(echo "$REPOS" | jq -r '.name' | while read -r repo; do
  gh api repos/org/$repo --jq '{name, default_branch, languages, topics}'
done | jq -s '.')

# Initialize swarm with repository context
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github multi-repo-init \
  --repo-details "$REPO_DETAILS" \
  --repos "org/frontend,org/backend,org/shared" \
  --topology hierarchical \
  --shared-memory \
  --sync-strategy eventual

2. Repository Discovery

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

# Analyze repository dependencies
DEPS=$(echo "$REPOS" | jq -r '.name' | while read -r repo; do
  # Get package.json if it exists
  if gh api repos/my-organization/$repo/contents/package.json --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null; then
    gh api repos/my-organization/$repo/contents/package.json \
      --jq '.content' | base64 -d | jq '{name, dependencies, devDependencies}'
  fi
done | jq -s '.')

# Discover and analyze
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github discover-repos \
  --repos "$REPOS" \
…

3. Synchronized Operations

# Execute synchronized changes across repos with gh CLI
# Get matching repositories
MATCHING_REPOS=$(gh repo list org --limit 100 --json name \
  --jq '.[] | select(.name | test("-service$")) | .name')

# Execute task and create PRs
echo "$MATCHING_REPOS" | while read -r repo; do
  # Clone repo
  gh repo clone org/$repo /tmp/$repo -- --depth=1
  
  # Execute task
  cd /tmp/$repo
  npx claude-flow@v3alpha github task-execute \
    --task "update-dependencies" \
    --repo "org/$repo"
  
  # Create PR if changes exist
  if [[ -n $(git status --porcelain) ]]; then
…

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]
…

Repository Roles

// Define repository roles and responsibilities
{
  "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"]
    }
  }
}

Orchestration Commands

Dependency Management

# Update dependencies across all repos with gh CLI
# Create tracking issue first
TRACKING_ISSUE=$(gh issue create \
  --title "Dependency Update: [email protected]" \
  --body "Tracking issue for updating TypeScript across all repositories" \
  --label "dependencies,tracking" \
  --json number -q .number)

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

# Update each repository
…

Refactoring Operations

# Coordinate large-scale refactoring
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github multi-repo-refactor \
  --pattern "rename:OldAPI->NewAPI" \
  --analyze-impact \
  --create-migration-guide \
  --staged-rollout

Security Updates

# Coordinate security patches
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github multi-repo-security \
  --scan-all \
  --patch-vulnerabilities \
  --verify-fixes \
  --compliance-report

Communication Strategies

1. Webhook-Based Coordination

// webhook-coordinator.js
const { MultiRepoSwarm } = require('ruv-swarm');

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

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

2. GraphQL Federation

# Federated schema for multi-repo queries
type Repository @key(fields: "id") {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  swarmStatus: SwarmStatus!
  dependencies: [Repository!]!
  agents: [Agent!]!
}

type SwarmStatus {
  active: Boolean!
  topology: Topology!
  tasks: [Task!]!
  memory: JSON!
}

3. 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

Advanced Features

1. Distributed Task Queue

# Create distributed task queue
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github multi-repo-queue \
  --backend redis \
  --workers 10 \
  --priority-routing \
  --dead-letter-queue
