SwarmForge is an autonomous, lights-out multi-agent software factory built for the BAND Desktop ecosystem. Operating with zero external runtime dependencies in pure Python 3.11 standard library, SwarmForge organizes software engineering into three generic standing seats: 1. Seat 1 (The Architect): Ingests project briefs, decomposes specifications into topological DAG execution waves, and enforces quality gates. 2. Seat 2 (The Builder): Implements modular, idempotent software systems across 4 distinct buildable stages. 3. Seat 3 (The QA Verifier): Executes AST syntax diff inspections, runs automated test suites, and triggers autonomous self-healing loops upon detecting defects. Key Technical Innovations: - Deterministic Kahn's Algorithm DAG wave scheduler with cycle detection. - Self-healing AST verification engine passing 11/11 stage tests in under 0.1 seconds. - Fully synchronized BAND Room telemetry export (Room ID: c0a3f1d2-51fd-41e4-9d70-72b938761fd4) capturing handoffs and audit logs with 100% autonomy.

Problem Statement & Challenge Modern software development with autonomous multi-agent AI systems faces a critical barrier: high computational costs and steep proprietary API pricing. Independent developers, students, and research teams cannot afford hundreds of dollars in API tokens to run complex multi-agent coding loops, creating an accessibility gap. The SwarmForge Solution SwarmForge is an enterprise-grade, zero-cost multi-agent AI orchestrator that solves this problem. It introduces a hybrid architecture combining IBM watsonx / Bob 2.0 as the central cloud architect with local autonomous execution agents. How Users Interact 1. Goal Submission: Users provide high-level software requirements via a clean desktop interface or CLI. 2. DAG Decomposition: The system decomposes the goal into a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of isolated tasks. 3. Parallel Wave Execution: Specialized subagents (architect, coder, tester, refactorer) execute in isolated sandboxes without human babysitting. 4. Automated Verification: The pipeline validates all generated code against automated test suites before committing. Uniqueness & Impact - Zero API Costs: Leverages native CLI environments and free local reasoning tools. - Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Validated with 74/74 automated end-to-end tests. - Democratic AI: Brings cutting-edge multi-agent engineering directly to resource-constrained developer setups.

🌎 Online Hackathon | 💻 Online Build: Sept 26 - Oct 5, 2026 A virtual, global hackathon. Build from anywhere in the world. Dark Factory is the official hackathon of WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America, presented by BAND, but you don't need to be in San Jose to take part. For one week, you build a software factory in BAND Desktop: a band of coding agents that plans work, implements it and checks its own results. 🎟️ Bonus for sign-ups: you are eligible for a free ticket to WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America in San Jose (Sep 23–25). If you do go, stop by the BAND booth: a surprise is waiting for you.
