# Multi-Repo Swarm - Cross-Repository Swarm Orchestration
## Overview
Coordinate AI swarms across multiple repositories, enabling organization-wide automation and intelligent cross-project collaboration.
## Core Features
### 1. Cross-Repo Initialization
```bash
# 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 ruv-swarm github multi-repo-init \
--repo-details "$REPO_DETAILS" \
--repos "org/frontend,org/backend,org/shared" \
--topology hierarchical \
--shared-memory \
--sync-strategy eventual
```
### 2. Repository Discovery
```bash
# Auto-discover related repositories with gh CLI
# Search organization repositories
REPOS=$(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 ruv-swarm github discover-repos \
--repos "$REPOS" \
--dependencies "$DEPS" \
--analyze-dependencies \
--suggest-swarm-topology
```
### 3. Synchronized Operations
```bash
# 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 ruv-swarm github task-execute \
--task "update-dependencies" \
--repo "org/$repo"
# Create PR if changes exist
if [[ -n $(git status --porcelain) ]]; then
git checkout -b update-dependencies-$(date +%Y%m%d)
git add -A
git commit -m "chore: Update dependencies"
# Push and create PR
git push origin HEAD
PR_URL=$(gh pr create \
--title "Update dependencies" \
--body "Automated dependency update across services" \
--label "dependencies,automated")
echo "$PR_URL" >> /tmp/created-prs.txt
fi
cd -
done
# Link related PRs
PR_URLS=$(cat /tmp/created-prs.txt)
npx ruv-swarm github link-prs --urls "$PR_URLS"
```
## Configuration
### Multi-Repo Config File
```yaml
# .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
```javascript
// 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
```bash
# Update dependencies across all repos with gh CLI
# Create tracking issue first
TRACKING_ISSUE=$(gh issue create \
--title "Dependency Update: typescript@5.0.0" \
--body "Tracking issue for updating TypeScript across all repositories" \
--label "dependencies,tracking" \
--json number -q .number)
# Get all repos with TypeScript
TS_REPOS=$(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
echo "$TS_REPOS" | while read -r repo; do
# Clone and update
gh repo clone org/$repo /tmp/$repo -- --depth=1
cd /tmp/$repo
# Update dependency
npm install --save-dev typescript@5.0.0
# Test changes
if npm test; then
# Create PR
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 #$TRACKING_ISSUE"
git push origin HEAD
gh pr create \
--title "Update TypeScript to 5.0.0" \
--body "Updates TypeScript to version 5.0.0\n\nTracking: #$TRACKING_ISSUE" \
--label "dependencies"
else
# Report failure
gh issue comment $TRACKING_ISSUE \
--body "ā Failed to update $repo - tests failing"
fi
cd -
done
```
### Refactoring Operations
```bash
# Coordinate large-scale refactoring
npx ruv-swarm github multi-repo-refactor \
--pattern "rename:OldAPI->NewAPI" \
--analyze-impact \
--create-migration-guide \
--staged-rollout
```
### Security Updates
```bash
# Coordinate security patches
npx ruv-swarm github multi-repo-security \
--scan-all \
--patch-vulnerabilities \
--verify-fixes \
--compliance-report
```
## Communication Strategies
### 1. Webhook-Based Coordination
```javascript
// 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
```graphql
# 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
```yaml
# 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
```bash
# Create distributed task queue
npx ruv-swarm github multi-repo-queue \
--backend redis \
--workers 10 \
--priority-routing \
--dead-letter-queue
```
### 2. Cross-Repo Testing
```bash
# Run integration tests across repos
npx ruv-swarm github multi-repo-test \
--setup-test-env \
--link-services \
--run-e2e \
--tear-down
```
### 3. Monorepo Migration
```bash
# Assist in monorepo migration
npx ruv-swarm github to-monorepo \
--analyze-repos \
--suggest-structure \
--preserve-history \
--create-migration-prs
```
## Monitoring & Visualization
### Multi-Repo Dashboard
```bash
# Launch monitoring dashboard
npx ruv-swarm github multi-repo-dashboard \
--port 3000 \
--metrics "agent-activity,task-progress,memory-usage" \
--real-time
```
### Dependency Graph
```bash
# Visualize repo dependencies
npx ruv-swarm github dep-graph \
--format mermaid \
--include-agents \
--show-data-flow
```
### Health Monitoring
```bash
# Monitor swarm health across repos
npx ruv-swarm github health-check \
--repos "org/*" \
--check "connectivity,memory,agents" \
--alert-on-issues
```
## Synchronization Patterns
### 1. Eventually Consistent
```javascript
// Eventual consistency for non-critical updates
{
"sync": {
"strategy": "eventual",
"max-lag": "5m",
"retry": {
"attempts": 3,
"backoff": "exponential"
}
}
}
```
### 2. Strong Consistency
```javascript
// Strong consistency for critical operations
{
"sync": {
"strategy": "strong",
"consensus": "raft",
"quorum": 0.51,
"timeout": "30s"
}
}
```
### 3. Hybrid Approach
```javascript
// Mix of consistency levels
{
"sync": {
"default": "eventual",
"overrides": {
"security-updates": "strong",
"dependency-updates": "strong",
"documentation": "eventual"
}
}
}
```
## Use Cases
### 1. Microservices Coordination
```bash
# Coordinate microservices development
npx ruv-swarm github microservices \
--services "auth,users,orders,payments" \
--ensure-compatibility \
--sync-contracts \
--integration-tests
```
### 2. Library Updates
```bash
# Update shared library across consumers
npx ruv-swarm github lib-update \
--library "org/shared-lib" \
--version "2.0.0" \
--find-consumers \
--update-imports \
--run-tests
```
### 3. Organization-Wide Changes
```bash
# Apply org-wide policy changes
npx ruv-swarm github org-policy \
--policy "add-security-headers" \
--repos "org/*" \
--validate-compliance \
--create-reports
```
## Best Practices
