Shapes · how a swarm splits the work and puts it back together

Seven shapes, 35 jobs built from them

A shape is two rules: how work is split and how results come back. Shapes chain one after another and nest up to three deep; a budget flows down so nesting can't multiply spend.

MAP

Split: Many independent items. One worker per item.

Combine: Collect every result and roll it up.

has runs Mega retro: the same 36 of 47 as solo, for $0.92 instead of $21.14

GRAPH

Split: Parts that depend on each other, planned as a dependency graph and built in parallel lanes.

Combine: Integrate in dependency order.

has runs Lead then split on a migration: 182 of 201 held-out, solo 70

RACE

Split: The same task, tried several different ways at once.

Combine: Keep the one that passes the gate best.

has runs Tournament tied solo's score at matched dollars, and finished sooner

EVOLVE

Split: A Race repeated over generations. Each round starts from the last round's best.

Combine: Score every candidate, keep the best few, breed the next round from them, stop when gains flatten.

new New as a general shape: the hill-climb loop

DELIBERATE

Split: One question, many views. Seats chase different hypotheses or lenses and post evidence.

Combine: Weigh the evidence board into one verdict through Decisionz, with receipts for every claim.

has runs Council on big packs: tied the default path at about a fifteenth of the cost

DUEL

Split: Opposed roles: a breaker and a builder.

Combine: Judged every round. The judge ranks what the breaker found; only findings above the bar get fixed, and it stops when nothing new clears the bar or at the round cap.

new New: judged every round, Jev ranks, bar 0.5, round cap

SAMPLE

Split: One target, many varied actors: personas, roles or viewpoints.

Combine: Aggregate: merge duplicate findings and rank them by how many actors hit each one.

has runs Crowd product tests and usability runs, so far outside Squadz

EVERY SHAPE BACKTRACKS

The planner posts each choice as an assumption with a checkpoint. A failure asks one question: which assumption does this break?

  1. Retry
  2. Race other approaches
  3. Rewind to the checkpoint, re-plan that subtree
  4. Escalate to the parent shape
  5. Ask a person

Keeps what still holds, remembers dead ends, caps rewinds.

Modes, for any shape once run and finish standing a team keeps it going over days, with a lead and memory watch an event fires it: a new CVE, a regression, a new session

Out: Merged PRs over days, a living plan, a daily digest, and questions only when they need you.

Why a swarm: A persistent lead with memory keeps the plan coherent over days, which a single session can't. Intake, judged review and human check-ins are what make it a team instead of a long loop.

Every job shows its shapes, its mode, and whether Squadz has run it. Use opens it in Start a swarm with its price.

More shapes and jobs, from the Megaswarm design

The design names eighteen more ways to run a swarm and a hundred more jobs. Every one of them is built from the same seven shapes plus a mode or a policy, so they're drawn that way here. They are ideas, not jobs you can start yet.
