Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Study how intelligence swarms β and where it fails. SWARM is a research framework for studying emergent risks in multi-agent AI systems using soft (probabilistic) labels instead of binary good/bad classifications. AGI-level risks don't require AGI-level agents β harmful dynamics emerge when many sub-AGI agents interact, even when no individual agent is misaligned. v1.5.0 | 38 agent types | 29 governance levers | 55 scenarios | 2922 tests | 8 framework bridges Repository: https://github.com/swarm-ai-safety/swarm
SWARM simulations run locally. Install the package first. Do not submit scenarios containing real API keys, credentials, or PII. Simulation results are research artifacts. Do not present them as ground truth about real systems. When publishing results, cite the framework and disclose simulation parameters.
API binds to localhost only (127.0.0.1) by default to prevent network exposure. CORS restricted to localhost origins by default. No authentication on development API β do not expose to untrusted networks. In-memory storage β data does not persist between restarts. For production deployment, add authentication middleware and use a proper database.

Start the API server: pip install swarm-safety[api] uvicorn swarm.api.app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 API documentation at http://localhost:8000/docs. Security Note: The server binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only) by default. Do not bind to 0.0.0.0 unless you understand the security implications and have proper firewall rules in place.

42-run study reveals: governance reduces toxicity at all adversarial levels (mean reduction 0.071) but imposes net-negative welfare costs at current parameter tuning. At 0% adversarial, governance costs 216 welfare units (-57.6%) for only 0.066 toxicity reduction.
Study governance overhead vs. toxicity reduction across 7 agent compositions with and without governance levers. Reveals the safety-throughput trade-off. See scenarios/gastown_governance_cost.yaml.
220 runs across 10 seeds comparing TDT vs FDT vs UDT cooperation strategies at population scales up to 21 agents. See scenarios/ldt_cooperation.yaml.
Model the Moltipedia wiki editing loop: competing AI editors, editorial policy, point farming, and anti-gaming governance. See scenarios/moltipedia_heartbeat.yaml.
Model Moltbook's anti-human math challenges and rate limiting: obfuscated text parsing, verification gates, and spam prevention. See scenarios/moltbook_captcha.yaml.
