Introduction

What Swarm 357 is, who it is for, and how the 357-role catalog works.

Swarm 357 is a 357-role catalog plus orchestration runtime for Claude agents across six business layers: Sales, Support, Marketing, SEO, Research, and Operations, plus Management meta-agents.

It is an organizational ontology for agents. It is not 357 simultaneous Opus sessions.

What you get

  • Layered specialists with YAML roster and SOUL templates for each role
  • Portable memory via flat-file topics and optional Memvid .mv2 bridge
  • Honest cost controls with layer budgets and logged model downgrade at 80% spend
  • Production security defaults: Bash policy gate, filesystem confinement, HITL approvals
  • Observable runs with checkpoints, SSE events, and local JSONL traces

Who it is for

  • Teams running Claude Code or API agents who need structure, not chaos
  • Operators who want FinOps and security reviewers to verify claims
  • Builders who prefer open-core (Apache-2.0) over black-box platforms
