🛡️ Anti-Drift Swarm Configuration

Complex swarms can drift from their original goals. Ruflo V3 includes anti-drift defaults that prevent agents from going off-task.

Recommended Configuration:

javascript
// Anti-drift defaults (ALWAYS use for coding tasks)
swarm_init({
  topology: "hierarchical",  // Single coordinator enforces alignment
  maxAgents: 8,              // Smaller team = less drift surface
  strategy: "specialized"    // Clear roles reduce ambiguity
})

Why This Prevents Drift:

Setting	Anti-Drift Benefit
hierarchical	Coordinator validates each output against goal, catches divergence early
maxAgents: 6-8	Fewer agents = less coordination overhead, easier alignment
specialized	Clear boundaries - each agent knows exactly what to do, no overlap
raft consensus	Leader maintains authoritative state, no conflicting decisions

Additional Anti-Drift Measures:

• Frequent checkpoints via post-task hooks
• Shared memory namespace for all agents
• Short task cycles with verification gates
• Hierarchical coordinator reviews all outputs

Task → Agent Routing (Anti-Drift):

Code	Task Type	Recommended Agents
1	Bug Fix	coordinator, researcher, coder, tester
3	Feature	coordinator, architect, coder, tester, reviewer
5	Refactor	coordinator, architect, coder, reviewer
7	Performance	coordinator, perf-engineer, coder
9	Security	coordinator, security-architect, auditor
11	Memory	coordinator, memory-specialist, perf-engineer
