Automatic Topology Selection

Purpose

Automatically select the optimal swarm topology based on task complexity analysis.

How It Works

1. Task Analysis

The system analyzes your task description to determine:

  • Complexity level (simple/medium/complex)
  • Required agent types
  • Estimated duration
  • Resource requirements

2. Topology Selection

Based on analysis, it selects:

  • Star: For simple, centralized tasks
  • Mesh: For medium complexity with flexibility needs
  • Hierarchical: For complex tasks requiring structure
  • Ring: For sequential processing workflows

3. Example Usage

Simple Task:

Tool: mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate
Parameters: {"task": "Fix typo in README.md"}
Result: Automatically uses star topology with single agent

Complex Task:

Tool: mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate
Parameters: {"task": "Refactor authentication system with JWT, add tests, update documentation"}
Result: Automatically uses hierarchical topology with architect, coder, and tester agents

Benefits

  • 🎯 Optimal performance for each task type
  • 🤖 Automatic agent assignment
  • Reduced setup time
  • 📊 Better resource utilization

Hook Configuration

The pre-task hook automatically handles topology selection:

{
  "command": "npx claude-flow hook pre-task --optimize-topology"
}

Direct Optimization

Tool: mcp__claude-flow__topology_optimize
Parameters: {"swarmId": "current"}

CLI Usage

# Auto-optimize topology via CLI
npx claude-flow optimize topology
