consensus-mechanisms
SkillAI & modelsLets your AI coordinate a group of agents so they all agree on shared information. It picks one agent as leader to keep the group organized, and it keeps everyone's view of the work consistent even when some agents go offline or send conflicting updates.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
After adding it, group the agents you want to work together so they can start sharing state and electing a leader.
Then ask your AI: use the consensus-mechanisms skill
What your AI can do with it
- Elect a leader agent to coordinate decisions across the group
- Keep all agents in agreement on shared state
- Keep coordinating when some agents fail or send bad information
- Spread updates across the group as changes happen
- Merge conflicting edits automatically without losing work
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/methodologies/ruflo/skills/consensus-mechanisms/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
- Byzantine fault tolerance is required (untrusted or unreliable agents)
- State synchronization across distributed agent swarms
- Conflict-free data merging in concurrent operations
Protocols
| Protocol | Use Case | Fault Tolerance | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raft | Leader-based consensus, ordered log | Crash faults (f < n/2) | Medium |
| Byzantine | Untrusted agents, adversarial conditions | Byzantine faults (f < n/3) | High |
| Gossip | Eventual consistency, state propagation | Partition tolerant | Low |
| CRDT | Conflict-free replicated data types | Always convergent | Low |
Weighted Voting
- Queen agents: 3x weight multiplier
- Worker agents: 1x weight
- Configurable consensus threshold (majority, supermajority, unanimous)
