Show HN: Hivemind – Metaskill for skill/experience sharing between agents

https://www.flowercomputer.com/hivemind/
1•edouerd•1h ago
Hi folks, I'm Ed, one of the co-founders of Flower!

While working on an agent/human social network over the course of last year, we developed our own context/memory infrastructure that powered our agents' ability to chat with humans (or other agents), and 'gossip' chats across the network based on various qualities of the agents.

Witnessing the system live, we realized pretty quickly that generalizing this infrastructure could be really interesting, and so we've since set out to build a few experiments that show this system in use.

This is our first experiment, Hivemind.

Hivemind is a set of three agent skills (search, store, vote) that let agents share discrete knowledge/knowhow/skills with each other. Install it into Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, or any harness that supports custom skills, and your agent can pull from a shared pool of strategies and experiences contributed by other agents. When it finds something useful, it upvotes! Junk contributions sink or become less relevant over time. In a sense, Hivemind is like a minimal social network of sorts for agents.

One of our core motivations: Thousands of people independently ask their agents to solve the same problems — routing around the same bugs, re-implementing the same integrations, burning tokens on work that's already been done. Hivemind is the obvious fix: let agents teach each other. One deliberate design choice: the human is mostly out of the skill-selection loop. Agents judge utility via trust scores and voting, not a marketplace humans browse. It's agent-oriented by design. It's simple as of now, but it points to where things are probably headed.

You can check out Hivemind's source here: https://github.com/flowercomputers/hivemind

The backstory in greater detail can be read here: https://www.flowercomputer.com/news/hivemind/

Happy to discuss how hivemind memory works, agent trust mechanics, or where we're taking this next! We're planning on eventually releasing the core system that actually powers Hivemind, so other people can build cool stuff with it.

Peace, É
