hivemind — Claude Code plugin: opencode workers and swarms
Hands grunt work to opencode workers running cheap or open models while Claude keeps planning and merging. Code leaves your machine by default.
/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
/plugin install hivemind@claude-code-skillsWhat hivemind does
The plugin spins up a single opencode worker or a swarm split into scout, coder and tester roles. Claude stays in charge: it plans the task, reviews what comes back and merges the result, while git worktrees keep each worker isolated. It ships outside every domain bundle, so nothing pulls it in automatically.
Think about where your data goes. The default worker model opencode/mimo-v2.5-free runs on opencode's hosted service, so every prompt, file and diff a worker sees is sent to their endpoints. No worker-side call touches the Anthropic API. Pass --model pointing at a locally served model — an Ollama or LM Studio provider set up in your opencode config — and the code stays with you.
You need the third-party opencode CLI and an opencode account. With a hosted model, delegate only code you are allowed to send to that provider, and keep secrets out of worker prompts.
What it helps with
- cut spend on bulk edits that would burn paid tokens
- search a repo with a dedicated worker
- run coding and testing in parallel across three roles
- isolate experiments in git worktrees
- switch a worker to a local model
Example prompts for the agent
- Start an opencode worker on
opencode/mimo-v2.5-freeand have it find every call to the old API - Set up a scout/coder/tester swarm: scout maps the edit points, coder writes the patch, tester runs the suite in its own worktree
- Rerun the worker with
--modelpointed at a local model from my opencode config so the code stays here

Questions about hivemind
How do I install hivemind in Claude Code?
Add the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills, then install the plugin: /plugin install hivemind@claude-code-skills.
What does hivemind do?
It lets Claude orchestrate opencode workers — one at a time or a scout/coder/tester swarm — on cheaper and open models. Claude plans, reviews and merges.
Where does my code and prompts go?
The default model runs on opencode's hosted service, and everything a worker receives is sent there. Point --model at a local model and the code stays on your machine.

# hivemind Opt-in plugin that lets Claude Code orchestrate [opencode](https://opencode.ai) workers (single worker or a scout/coder/tester swarm) on cheaper or open models. It ships outside every domain bundle; install it only if you want it. ## Data flow **By default your code leaves your machine.** The default worker model, `opencode/mimo-v2.5-free`, runs on opencode's hosted service, so every prompt, file and diff a worker receives is sent to opencode's endpoints. Nothing on the worker side calls the Anthropic API. To keep code on your machine, pass `--model` pointing at a locally served model (for example an Ollama or LM Studio provider configured in your opencode config). With any hosted model, delegate only code you are allowed to send to that provider, and never delegate secrets. ## Install and use See [SKILL.md](SKILL.md) for prerequisites, setup, the invocation contract and the swarm flow.
